2.1 Before Operating Your Wireless Control Unit
Please ensure that all radio remote control system components have been installed correctly before proceeding. Prior to startup,
it's crucial to verify that both the machinery and radio remote control ‘STOP’ functions are in perfect working order.
Familiarize yourself thoroughly with all safety precautions outlined in the manual and review the control functions and operation
of both the machinery and radio remote control system. When not in use, remember to power off the OCU and store it in a secure
location to prevent unauthorized access.
Keep the USB Dongle, which serves as a security key for programming the OCU, in a separate, secure place. If the controller
equipment doesn't respond as expected, cease operation immediately. Turn off the OCU and report the issue to your supervisor.
Always power off the OCU before conducting any maintenance work. Ensure you have fresh batteries on hand or consider an
optional rechargeable battery pack to guarantee a fully charged battery is always available.
Remember, installation, setup, and servicing should only be carried out by authorized and qualified personnel. At Hetronic, safety
and reliability are our top priorities, and we're committed to providing you with the best support every step of the way.
