How to Reprogram a SunSetter Awning Remote
SunSetter manufacturers motorized awnings and shades that only require the push of a button to operate. The remote transmitter runs on a 3-volt lithium battery, and the motor plugs into a standard wall outlet. Sometimes when an electrical storm passes or you change the battery, it becomes necessary to reprogram the remote transmitter. Reprogramming a SunSetter awning remote transmitter requires disconnecting power to the awning and operating it manually for a brief period. Because of this, it is necessary to locate the manual-crank handle that came with the unit. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
Ensure that the battery works before resetting the remote. Press the button and look for the red light to blink. If the light does not blink, replace the battery.
Adding remotes is a different process; consult the user manual or the SunSetter website for instruction.
