The remote switches let you use commonly used features while keeping your hands
close to the machine controls. The remote switches let you perform the following
operations:

l turning map recording events on and off:
Pass count coverage – On/Off/Auto.
Radio Map – On/Off/Auto.
Terrain – On/Off/Auto.
Cut/Fill Map – On/Off/Auto.
l recording a point.
Configuration of which of these events (if any) is available is managed by your Site
Supervisor.

In addition to the display and lightbars the system also uses an audible alarm, or
beeper, to alert you to status changes and other events.
The following table lists the pattern of sounds generated by the beeper, and the
events that cause them. By default, the beeper will sound for all the events listed in
the table, but alerts for some events may be turned off by your site supervisor.
