It sensesdeceleration and generates an output that is based ondeceleration, thus the term Proportional Braking . 4. The Prodigy RF will HOLD your trailer with 25% ofpower setting while you are at a standstill with brakepedal applied for longer than 5-7 seconds.

3 5. The Prodigy RF will brake proportionally in reverse. It will apply the appropriate brake voltage based ondeceleration. 6. WARNING The Gross Combined Weight Rating(GCWR) must never exceed the vehicle CAUTION This control is not designed for use withelectric-hydraulic trailer brake CAUTION Do not submerge or immerse Prodigy RF in For Technical Assistance and Warranty Information call:1-888-785-5832 or GuideTrailer Mount Power ModuleMounting InstructionsWARNING The Prodigy RF Power Module mustbe securely mounted to the trailer frame.
