The radio control F5 is the entry-level model for the
professional range of forestry radio controls.
An inexpensive control which nonetheless satisfyies
the professional requirements for working in the
forest:
Protection class IP 65,
Solid rubber-protected aluminium
housing,
Safe operation even in an extremely
dirty surroundings and
An easy-to-use and easy-to-clean user
interface .
An innovative "spring-back" concept for the operating
elements provides a noticeable ergonomic improve-
ment for the user.
Reducting the number of functions the most impor-
tant and the self-explainatory user interface insures
safe operation even by the occasional user – such as
private forest owners who only work in the forest a
few weeks per year.
The new battery concept also has great advantages for the occasional user: the eneloop* battery technology
makes it possible to operate the device for up to a week without recharging it, even if the individual uses are
weeks or months apart – which is often the case in private forests. The eneloop batteries only loose 15 % of their
capacity per year (as opposed to up to 100 % for conventional batteries). Surveys and user reports confirm the
low self-discharge. When using the radio control, recharging is only necessary after about 4 to 5 working days.
