RANGER II HANDHELD OVERVIEW The Wireless Control System is comprised of two major components; the handheld device (Ranger II) and the receiver unit. The handheld device is the portable unit which the operator keeps by his side and uses to send wireless commands back to the receiver to make the desired operational changes. The handheld and receiver are pre-programmed to operate as a paired system unless otherwise requested.

BRAKE INTERLOCK ALARM WIRING OF CRADLE FOR BRAKE ALARM There is an optional alarm in the charging cradle that will sound when the user drives away with the handheld undocked. To do this, the charging cradle must be interconnected with a brake-line pressure sensor and with the signal from the truck’s “Ignition ON/RUN” power connection (please see the wiring diagram in the next page).
PAGE 7
SYSTEM PAIRING/DEDICATION SYSTEM OPERATION The Wireless Control System is supplied from the factory fully programmed and ready for use, however, the following procedure can be used to re-program/dedicate a replacement handheld or receiver unit in the field. It is recommended that the handheld unit be charged before it is put into operation. It is required that any radio control system be powered only when the equipment is parked and ready to work.
PAGE 8
The handheld will remain operational while charging, allowing the operator to continue operations while the unit is charging. NOTE: It is not recommended to charge the handheld in a cold environment such as overnight in the vehicle. This will severely limit the lifespan of the batteries. SYSTEM MAINTENANCE 1. Regularly check the condition of the handheld. 2. Check the transmitter battery condition by verifying that the blue LED flashes properly when pressing a function button or the ON button. 3.

TROUBLESHOOTING WARRANTY AND RETURN PROCEDURES Limited Warranty Policy System will not operate when button pressed  Check that the ON button, if included, was pressed and the LED is blinking.  If the LED is not blinking when a button is pressed, the battery might be beyond its maximum time and require charging.
