The + key will start the trolley moving forward and
continual presses will increase the speed of your
DV-8. The – button will slow it down. A single press on the
brake will stop the machine normally and press and hold
will activate an emergency stop.
Starting the DV-8 using the – button will start the machine
in reverse, please note that reverse speed is limited. With
your DV-8 moving forward or backward press the left or
right hand arrow as a single press, you DV-8 will move
slightly in the direction selected. A prolonged or multiple
presses will increase the level of deviation from straight.
Practise in an open space with no obstacles until you can operate the machine
accurately, practise makes perfect!!
If you press the left or right key from the start your DV-8 will move the front
wheel in direction selected. In this way you can make minor adjustments
before you set off. Each press of the handset will produce a flashing green
light in the centre of your handset, this shows all is normal and working well.
This flash is replicated on the top of your DV-8 and confirms that all is well
and that the signal has been received. If either flash Red, please see trouble
shooting at the end of these instructions.
Range and safety
The DV-8 in perfect conditions will operate up to 100 metres away from you
(we recommend not exceeding 50 metres). Should you go out of range, the
DV-8 will stop after 2 seconds. As the handset goes to sleep after 45 seconds
when no buttons are pressed, the trolley will also stop 2 seconds after the
handset goes to sleep. This is normal and unlikely to occur in normal use.
Once you are back in range, pressing any button will start your machine once
more. Range will be affected by course conditions including terrain, overhead
power cables, wet misty conditions and clear line of sight. Your DV-8 takes
3 x AAA batteries, as these run down the effective range will be diminished.
Note: When your DV-8 is turned on and off in manual mode it will always
start at zero, this is a safety feature and is normal.
