transmitter unit should always be placed there when not in use. This precaution will help prevent
unauthorized people from operating the material handling equipment.
Spare transmitters should be stored in a secure storage space and only removed from the storage space
after the current transmitter in use has been turned OFF, taken out of the service area and secured.
