BATTERY
The transmitter is equipped with a status indicator showing battery status.
The indicator blinks slowly green when the battery voltage is normal, but
starts to blink rapidly yellow, when it gets low. When the indicator has started
blinking rapidly yellow, the transmitter can be operated for approximately
5-10 minutes before the voltage is so low that the transmitter switches off
automatically.
Disposal of a Li-Ion battery poses a smaller threat to the environ-
ment when compared to other battery types. All used Li-Ion bat-
teries should be immediately sent to a qualied battery collection
centre for recycling.
• Remove the battery from the charger when the power supply is turned off.
• A well maintained battery is necessary for faultless operation.
!The battery must not be charged if the temperature is lower than
+10ºC or higher than +45ºC.
!Only use chargers approved by the supplier.
!
Warning! If an incorrect battery type is used in the unit, the battery
may explode.
CHARGER INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the documentation supplied with the charger for charging instructions.

CIM CARD
On the back of the MAIN board there is a connector for a “CIM card”. This
is used for storing conguration information. You can take out the CIM-
module from one system and place it in a spare transmitter with the same
system program and it will work exactly the same. This has to be done in a
clean, dry and ESD safe environment.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CRANE OPERATORS
These instructions have to be followed.
!
Check that the radio transmitter operates on the crane that you are going to
operate (for instance give a signal). Check all functions of the radio
transmitter.
!
Check that no unauthorized person is on or near the crane when you start to
operate it. Any blocking device at the entry of the crane should be closed.
!
Check the position of the symbols for operating direction
(crane-trolley-travel).
!
At the beginning of each shift the crane operator is to test all brakes, limit
switches and emergency stop functions as well as the STOP button on the
transmitter.
!
The crane operator should when operating the crane stand at a suitable
distance from the crane hoist in order to have adequate overview of the
operation.
!
It is prohibited to move the crane load over oneself or coworkers.
Signal in order to warn others.
!
Avoid driving into end stops since equipment and goods can be damaged.
!
Check your own free passageway in order to avoid tripping over material on
the ground when you operate the crane. Keep the workplace in good order.
!

!
Find out where the crane’s main power disconnect is, in order to be able to
quickly switch off if required.
!
Never hand over the transmitter to anyone who has not undergone training in
radio-control crane operation.
!
After completed operation you should always switch the transmitter off with
STOP. Note! Do not put the transmitter aside without switching the transmit-
ter off with STOP.
!
The main contactor of the crane is to be switched off after the end of working
hours. The transmitter is then to be kept inaccessible to unauthorized per-
sons.
!
In case of faults or breakdowns in the radio control equipment the crane
should permit operation from the cab or with suspended operating gear. In
such case rst turn the switch from radio operation to manual operation.
Make certain how this switch-over is to be made before you start operating
the crane.
!
Make sure that the receiver can not be activated when you service
the transmitter.

TANDEM AND MULTI-OPERATOR OPERATION
TANDEM OPERATION
Tandem operation means that two cranes can be operated from the same trans-
mitter, which makes it easier, for example to lift two objects simultaneously
or a big object using two cranes. The function of the transmitter for tandem
operation is different from the standard.
MULTI-OPERATOR OPERATION
Multi-operator operation means that two transmitters can operate the same
object. This can be benecial, for example, when the view is blocked. The
control of the object can be passed between two transmitters. Active crane
selection and deselection guarantees that only one transmitter is in control of
the object at a time. The function of the transmitter for multi-driver operation
is different from the standard.
START THE TRANSMITTER AND ACTIVATE THE MAIN CONTACTOR
The following procedure has to be followed when starting the transmitter:
1. Make sure no buttons are pressed.
2. Release the STOP button.
3. The status indicator should show slow blinking green.
4. Check that the crane/cranes are free to operate.
5. Selectcrane/s.Thersttransmitterthatmaketheselectioncan
operate the crane/s and the other transmitter will automatically be
blocked.
6. Activate the main contactor in the receiver by pushing down the
button B9 (1st step).
The unit is now in operating mode.
