4. Pitch & Catch Operating Procedure
To release control of the crane, press the “Pitch” push button. To take over control of the
crane, rotate the power key switch to the “Catch” position for up to 2 seconds. The second
operator cannot take control of the crane unless the first

5. Automatic Channel Scanning Operating Procedure
After changing the transmitter channel (refer to page 9), turn on the transmitter power, rotate
the power key switch to the “Start” position, and hold it there for up to 1 minute. Within this 1-
minute period the receiver will search (channel 01 ~ channel 62) and lock onto the newly
selected transmitter channel automatically. Please note that in order for the receiver to switch
to auto-scanning mode, you must first deactivate the receiver MAIN by shutting off the
transmitter power or press down the emergency stop button before changing the transmitter
channel. Please refer to page 21 if you do not want the receiver to auto-scan all 62 channels.

6. Changing Transmitter Batteries
Change the transmitter batteries by unscrewing the battery cover located on the backside of
the transmitter (refer to Fig. 20 below). During battery installations make sure that the blue
ribbon is centered between the two batteries. After changing the batteries make sure that all
screws are tightened to avoid water, moisture, dirt, grease, or other liquid penetration.
