2.1 GENERAL
Radio controlled material handling equipment operates in several directions. Cranes, hoists, lifting devices
and other material handling equipment can be large, and operate at high speeds. Quite frequently, the
equipment is operated in areas where people are working in close proximity to the material handling
equipment. The operator must exercise extreme caution at all times. Workers must constantly be alert
to avoid accidents. The following recommendations have been included to indicate how careful and
thoughtful actions may prevent injuries, damage to equipment, or even save a life.
2.2 PERSONS AUTHORIZED TO OPERATE RADIO CONTROLLED EQUIPMENT
Only properly trained persons designated by management should be permitted to operate radio controlled
equipment.
Radio controlled cranes, hoists, lifting devices and other material handling equipment should not be
operated by any person who cannot read or understand signs, notices and operating instructions that pertain
to the equipment.
Radio controlled equipment should not be operated by any person with insufficient eyesight or hearing or by
any person who may be suffering from a disorder or illness, is taking any medication that may cause loss of
equipment control, or is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

3.1 INSTALLING BATTERY PACK(S)
Prior to utilizing the XLTX transmitter, battery packs must be installed (unless unit is being utilized
with the optional tether feature - then the battery packs are optional).
3.1.1 Alkaline Battery Pack (BT129)
The XLTX comes standard with a battery pack (BT129) that holds three disposable AA alkaline
batteries.
Figure 2: BT129 Battery Pack
To change the alkaline batteries in the battery pack, separate the inner tray from the outer
housing (see Figure 2) and replace all the batteries with new ones.
Figure 3: Separated Alkaline Battery Pack
When reinserting the tray into the outer housing, make sure the grooves in the inner tray align
with the slides in the outer housing. When placing the battery pack into the XLTX battery pocket,
orient the battery pack so that the sticker is facing out (see Figure 4).
