Press Drive to raise the drive unit as long as the button is held.
Release Drive to stop the motion. Press Drive to lower the drive
unit. Double-tap Drive to allow the drive unit to raise to its highest
position without holding your finger on the button. There is no
double-tap function for Drive .
If the drive unit reaches the upper- or lower-limit switches, the motion
stops automatically. Once an end-of-travel limit has been reached, only
the arrow in the opposite direction operates.
For example, if the drive unit is raised completely, the Up arrow no
longer causes motion but the Down arrow may be used to lower the
drive unit. Once away from the limit sensors, both arrows resume
normal operation.
