In the event of electromagnetic disturbances, the following conditions may occur:
1.
Should the display screen go blank, or become unreadable, but eventually self recovers and there is detrimental effect
to performance, continue to use but investigate source of electromagnetic disturbance.
2.
Should the display screen go blank, or the charging status bulb continue to flash red or green, the Hoist is still
acceptable to be used, but investigate EMC source and contact your service provider at the soonest opportunity.
3.
Should the motors pause temporarily, the Hoist can be continue to be used but investigate EMC source and contact
your service provider at the earliest convenience.
