Replacing the battery
To replace the CR2032 button cell, open the cover. Now remove the battery
from the battery holder. If required, use a slotted screwdriver as shown in
the figure below. When replacing the battery, make sure that it is correctly
aligned in the battery holder (“+” of the button cell is facing upwards when
inserted).
Battery replacement mode ONYX.TAG wind without ONYX.CENTER
When using without ONYX.CENTER, the battery replacement mode is
automatically activated when the battery is empty. The awning will thus
retract and can be extended for 6 seconds.
Battery replacement mode ONYX.TAG wind with ONYX.CENTER
If the awning is retracted and the wind sensor is not accessible, the “battery
replacement mode” can be activated in the “ONYX” App on the smart phone
when using ONYX.CENTER. The “Configuration mode” must be active in
the settings for this purpose. Then go to “Devices”, then to the pencil
symbol next to the respective sensor, then to “Advanced settings” and
finally to “Battery replacement mode”. In battery replacement mode, the
awning can be extended to a freely selectable position, to be able to
remove the sensor.
Ideal use of the radio signal
Radio systems that send on the same frequency may cause interference
with reception.
It must be considered that the range of the radio signal is limited by
statutory regulations and structural measures.
