DRCtransmittersandreceiversmeet the requirementsof the standardsand
regulationslistedintheECconformitydeclaration.ThespecifiedECconformity
declarationisanintegralpart of therelevantoperatinginstructions.
TransmittersandreceiversoftheDRCrangecanbeoperatedwithoutany
registrationor operatingfee.Thebenefitsthatthisprovidesfor theuser arealso
utilised bysomeothermanufacturersof devicesfor communicationsandtelemetry
applications.Theconsequence ofthisisthat the relevantapprovedfrequency
ranges maybeusedbymany transmittersatthesametime, dependingonthe
timeandlocation.
ThetransmissionmethodusedbyDemagisdesignedfor themost robustand
interference-resistantradiotransmissionbetweenthetransmittersand receivers
oftheDRCrange.
Thestate-of-the-art transmission methodisprovidedwithtechnicalfeatures (e.g.
frequency hopping)whichare intendedtoensureaminimumof conflictsfor radio
operationtogether withother transmitter and receiverdevices whichusethe same
frequency range.
Despiteall ofthetechnical precautions takenbyDemag,it cannot beentirelyex-
cludedthat thetransmissioncharacteristicsof other radiosystemsare impaired,
inparticular devicessuppliedbyother manufacturers that use thesamefrequency
range, or thatthetransmissioncharacteristicsof thesystemsuppliedbyDemag
arenegativelyaffected. Insuch cases, interference or radioconnectioninterrup-
tionsmay occur, whichdisruptthecommunication andfunctionof asystemsup-
pliedbyDemag or other manufacturers. Suchimpairment or interference doesnot
constituteadefecton thepart of DRCtransmittersandreceivers.Demag will only
acceptliabilityfor wilful or grosslynegligent behaviour onitspart.

If thislimitisexceededcontinuouslyor forcertainperiods, additional technical
measures maybenecessaryinorder toensuresimultaneous andinterference-
freeoperationoftheradiosystems.Whetherandtowhichextentsuch measures
arerequiredcanonlybe determinedbymeansof suitablemeasurementsonsite
orwhenthesystemisput intooperation. Demagisnot responsiblefor suchaddi-
tional technical measures.
RadioremotecontrolsystemsoftheDRC rangeare exclusivelyintended for
single-transmitter operation; i.e. thereisalwaysaclear assignmentbetweena
specifictransmitterandthe correspondingreceiver.
TheDRC-10 hand-heldtransmitter mayonlybeoperatedwheninperfectworking
order bytrainedpersonnel inaccordancewiththerelevant safetyandaccident
preventionregulations.Thisalsoincludescompliance withoperating andmainte-
