Practical Questions
On earlier Automatic models, the winter switch allowed you to disable the remote control receiver to help preserve batterie life during the off-season, when sunlight is reduced.
It is recommended to turn the switch to the OFF position from September 1 through May 1. If left on during this period, limited sunlight may prevent proper charging, which could cause the batteries to fully discharge and require replacement.
Note: On the latest versions of this model, this switch has been removed, as energy management has been optimized and no longer required manual adjestment.
