- voluntary switch off when the START pushbutton and immediately afterward the FUNC-
TION pushbutton are deeply pressed for 3 seconds
- as a response when the STOP pushbutton is pressed
- automatic switch off when there are no enabled commands for a predetermined timeframe.
This timeframe is provided tin the technical data sheet (SWITCH-OFF).

4.3 Warnings for use
In addition to all instructions provided by the machine manufacturer, by the installer of the
radio remote control and by the person responsible for the safety of the work area, users shall
always respect the following warnings.
Before starting to work, the user shall do the following:
- stand in a position that allows the direct supervision of the remote controlled
machine and its load, and stay in a place ensuring safety conditions in re-
spect of other operations and/or activities and/or processes that are carried
out in the working environment;
- never start up or use the transmitting unit if the working conditions present
the risk of losing balance or tripping;
- always check that the mechanical operation of the STOP pushbutton is cor-
rect. If it is impossible or difficult to press this pushbutton, do not use the ra-
dio remote control;
- only start up the transmitting unit when starting work: improper use may
cause hazardous situations;
- never start up or use the transmitting unit in closed spaces, with the machine
not in sight, or outside the radio remote control working range: in such cases
it is in fact still possible to build a radio link, thus causing the risk that un-
wanted commands be carried out by the machine;
