The following control buttons are available next to the Display:
Start-Button
This Button must be pushed after using the ON/OFF Switch, to activate the Device.
Mode/OK-Button
Outside of the Menu, this button can be used to access the Menu.
Inside the Menu, this button is used to confirm.
Dischar e/Minus-Button
Outside of the Menu, this Button is used to discharge the Pump (only in Test-Mode).
Inside the Menu, this Button is used as Minus-Button.
Li ht/Plus-Button
Outside of the Menu, this Button toggles the background light on and off.
Inside the Menu, this Button acts as a Plus-Buttondient diese Taste als Plus-Taste.
Test/ESC-Button
Outside of the Menu, a Test signal can be sent to the Transmitter to test the radio
connectivity (only in Test-Mode).
Inside the Menu, this Button is used as an Escape-Button.
2. .2 Antenna socket
The antenna is used to receive data. To bend or clamp the antenna or antenna-cable can lead to
severe damage, and should be avoided. Please make sure the antenna is mounted correctly and in an
upright position during a performance, to guarantee the best possible radio connectivity.
Wetness entering the antenna socket can drastically reduce the connectivity.

2. . Control LEDs
The control LEDs can give you information about the status of the device.
2.3.3.1 Pump is working
This LED tells you if the pump is working. It should only be lit in Armed-Mode, not in Test-Mode.
2.3.3.2 Pump is at 100%
This LED shows if the pump has reached the neccessary pressure.
2.3.3.3 Pump Error
This LED shows if there is an error at the pump. If this LED is lit, it may indicate an empty Liquid-
canister, You may not use the Wave-Flamer if this LED is lit, since it may cause severe damage to the
device.
2.3.3.4 Battery
This LED indicates the Battery status. If it is continually alight, the voltage is okay. If it should start to
flash, the device does not get enough power. If the device is powered by the 230V connection, and
the LED starts to flash, this may indicate a damage to one of the transformers.
2.3.3.5 Radio signal
This LED flashes if the X2 Wave-Flamer receives a radio signal.
