keep the transmitter clean and free of oil and
mud. A slippery or dirty transmitter may cause
an operator error.
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not
allow water to enter the transmitter. Only use a
damp cloth with detergent to clean the
transmitter. Damage to the transmitter may
result if water is allowed to enter it, resulting
in internal component damage and/or
electrical failure.
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not
use the transmitter if its case is damaged. Do
not drop the transmitter or allow the case to
become damaged. A damaged case may
cause internal component damage and/or
electrical failure.
WARNING! Sudden Movement Hazard. Do not
use the transmitter if its case is damaged. A
damaged transmitter case may cause operator
error.

NOTICE:
• If the battery for the transmitter runs low,
recharge the battery or replace the battery with a
charged battery.
• In the case of the remote control system, radio
waves may not be received even at close range
due to jamming or depending on reflection
conditions in the vicinity.
• Operate as close to the Receiver antenna as
possible.
• In crane operation, when the transmitter has not
been operated for a certain period of time after
the last operation, it will be automatically turned
“OFF”. When using the transmitter again, first
turn on the transmitter power.
