options must be custom ordered. Please contact the factory for more information.
Handheld Auto Shutoff
The handheld unit has an auto shutoff feature that will turn off the handheld after a period of
use.
Features:
The handheld shuts-down after 10 minutes of no use to conserve battery life.
Prevents accidental activation if the handheld has not been used for more than 10
minutes and the estop button has not been pressed.
After auto-shutdown has occurred, the estop remains active, allowing the user to press
the estop button and send an estop signal to the receiver. Note that the blue LED on the
handheld will stop flashing when auto shutoff has occurred.
Handheld Battery Charging
If the red LED and buzzer of the handheld indicate that the system charge is getting low, the
unit should be recharged as soon as possible.
To charge the batteries, unscrew the protective cap on the bottom of the handheld and connect
the small plug of the supplied charger into the receptacle. Next plug the other end of the charger
into the power receptacle of the truck. Ensure that power is available to this receptacle at all
times. In some vehicles, the power to the receptacle is cut off when the ignition is off.
While the handheld is charging, the blue LED will flash at a slow rate. When the unit is fully
charged, the blue LED will remain ON solid. It will take up to four hours to charge the batteries
from a fully depleted state.
The handheld will remain operational while charging, allowing the operator to continue
operations while the unit is charging if required.
WARNING: Do not charge the handheld unit with any device other than the supplied
BASE charger or damage to the unit may occur.
NOTE: It is not recommended to charge the handheld in a cold environment such as
overnight in the vehicle. This will severely limit the lifespan of the batteries.
