How to hold the FlexPendant
The FlexPendant is typically operated while being held in the hand. A right-handed person
uses his left hand to support the device while the other hand performs operations on the touch
screen. A left-hander, however, can easily rotate the display through 180 degrees and use his
right hand to support the device. See Adapting the FlexPendant to left-handedness in
Operating manual - IRC5 with FlexPendant for further information.

Operated in fourteen languages
As suggested by its name, the FlexPendant is designed with flexibility and adaptation to end-
users’ specific needs in mind. Currently, it can be operated in 14 different languages,
including Asian character-based languages such as Chinese and Japanese.
The individual FlexPendant supports up to three languages, selected before the installation of
the system to the robot controller. Switching from one of the installed languages to another is
easy. See Changing language in Operating manual - IRC5 with FlexPendant for information
about how to do it.
