EF4500iSE Remote control kit
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
Congratulations on your purchase of your new Yamaha.
This manual will provide you with a good basic understanding of the operation and installation of this
product.
If you have any questions regarding the installation or operation of your machine, please consult a Yamaha
dealer.
Particularly important information is distinguished in this manual by the following notations.
w
8This kit can be used for wireless remote control of Yamaha's EF4500iSE Generator only. Do not
use this product for any other purposes.
8Before using the remote control kit, carefully read and understand this manual, the generator's
owner's manual and warning labels attached to the generator. Also, become familiar with the
generator operations, safety information and important information.
8Keep this manual together with the generator's owner's manual, and use them if you have any
questions or problems during operation. If you resell or transfer your generator to another person,
remember to attach this manual to it.
cC
Do not use this product in other countries, as doing so may be illegal.
NOTE:
8The remote control can be used approximately 20 meters away from the generator if there are no
obstacles between them.
8This communication distance depends on the ambient environment and the situation in which you use
the remote control. The communication distance becomes shorter if there are any obstacles between
you and the generator. Also, if you use the remote control near the radio transmitter facility, the radio
communication distance may be reduced greatly or the communication itself may fail.
8If the remote control has a delay in responding or it does not respond at all, the service life of the cells
of remote control may have expired, or the generator battery may have discharged. Replace dry cell
batteries of the remote control, or recharge the generator battery.
