and replacement November 02, 2006
There has been some confusion on the troubleshooting and replacement of the RaCon Series II radio controller.
This problem being that both the transmitter and receiver being replaced when the only defect found is in the
transmitter. Below you will find detailed instructions on how to determine if your transmitter is defective.
1. Resetting power and activating the transmitter (radio)
Be sure to have a fully charged battery installed. Press the E-stop and rotate the power switch counter clockwise
(the off position) as shown in figure 1.1. Then to activate this unit you must first turn the power switch clockwise
(the on position) then pull the e-stop. If you do not do turn the power switch on before pulling the e-stop the unit
will not become active. The light on the transmitter will blink orange, green, then off. Press the start/horn button
(sometimes it will need to be pressed a few times to activate). The indicator light will then illuminate green as
shown figure 1.2. If the transmitter light does not illuminate you have a defective transmitter.
