The operating instructions provide important information for
handling the device. All stated safety notices and instructions
must be observed to ensure safe working.
3.1 Responsibility of the owner of the system
The receiver may only be connected by a specialist according
to the pin assignment diagram enclosed.
The radio control may only be operated in a technically per-
fect state. In the event of faults and defects that can impair
safety, the system must be switched off immediately and
repaired by a qualified professional.
If a radio control is used you must make sure that it does not
interfere with the other systems around it and it itself is not
interfered with by them.
Adjustment of speed from the radio control is only per-
missible if it can be guaranteed from a structural point of
view that the cable intake speed does not exceed 0.6m/s
and that the change in cable intake speed is not more than
20percent.
Conduct regular visual inspections to allow damaged cables,
plugs, and other equipment necessary to ensure safety to be
repaired prior to starting work.
People whose responsiveness is impaired by the influence of
medication, alcohol, or drugs may not put the radio control
into operation, operate, maintain, or repair it.
People carrying medical devices should check the compatibi-
lity of their devices with the radio control that is constructed
according to EN 62479.
3.2 Responsibility of the user
DANGER!
Danger from vehicles tipping over
Ensure that the required stability of the vehicle is
provided. Check the ground.
DANGER!
Danger from pulling up tree trunks
Do not touch the towing cable during operation!
Nobody should be located around the intake zone of the
cable winch!
DANGER!
Danger from tree trunks falling down
Keep a safe distance from the cable winch.

Safety notes
DANGER!
Danger from unintentional triggering of functions or
starting up
Ensure that no unintended actuation of the transmitter
can be caused by items of clothing and similar items.
Switch the transmitter off during break times and at
the end of work and secure it against unauthorized
access (e.g. from children).
Make sure that the receiver is unplugged while driving.
DANGER!
Danger from cutting off and restoration of the power
supply for the transmitter/receiver
Nobody should be located around the intake zone of the
cable winch!
Keep a safe distance from the cable winch.
Requirements for safe operation
Wear protective work clothing suitable for the activity and
the deployment location (PPA).
Before switching on the radio control, ensure that nobody
could be put at risk from operation.
Always work with a direct line of sight to the machine and
proceed with particular caution if you are not yet familiar
with operating the radio control.
When changing location, make sure that you do not acci-
dentally reverse the directions of movement of the cable.
To ensure that a work phase ends and consequently safe
conditions can be established on site in the highly unlikely
event of total failure of the battery, it is recommended that
you always carry two spare batteries and the manual control for the winch with you in the vehicle.
The stop and emergency call switch on the transmitter
only affects the winch and is not to be confused with the
machine's emergency-off.
Follow the instructions in the section "Maintenance". Only use the radio control within the climatic, environmen-
tal conditions that are specified in the section "Technical
data".
In addition to generally applicable regulations for accident
prevention, the local regulations should also be observed.

Safety notes
3.3 Special risks
3.3.1 Defective control elements
CAUTION!
Residual risk!
Even if the operator follows the procedures correclty,
a residual risk still applies. Example: The operator
deactivates the "Pull" command. Due to a mechanical
blockage, however, the command continues to be
executed.
Keep an eye on your working environment at all times
so that you can react quickly and prudently even in
unexpected hazardous situations.
3.3.2 Noise
CAUTION!
Hearing damage due to noise!
When you are working in the vicinity of audible alarm
messages (> 85 dBA), wear hearing protection.
Remain in the vicinity of audible warning devices only
for as long as required.
3.3.3 Short circuit
WARNING!
Fire hazard from short circuits!
In the event of a short circuit, very high currents may
occur which could, for example, heat up plug connections and cables considerably. A fire could potentially
result.
The supply voltage of the receiver must be protected
with a 15 A fuse to prevent the risk of fire.
3.4 Transport, packaging materials and storage
3.4.1 Safety notes for transport
NOTICE!
In the case of incorrect transportation, substantial property damage can arise.
Be careful when you unload the packing pieces or by
transporting them within your company premises.
Observe the symbols on the packaging.
Make sure that you are ready to start mounting before
you remove the packaging.
Inspection of delivery
When you receive the delivery, immediately check it for
completeness and transport damage.
If a delivery has transport damage that can be recognized
externally, do not accept the delivery – or if you accept the
delivery, do so under reservation only. Tender a complaint.

Safety notes
3.4.2 Handling packaging materials
Packaging materials are valuable raw materials which can often
be re-used or recycled.
Dispose of the packaging materials in an environmentally
friendly manner.
Observe the locally applicable waste disposal regulations.
Contract an expert company for disposal, if necessary.
DANGER!
Risk of suffocation and injury for children due to
packaging materials
Keep packaging materials away from children.
3.4.3 Storage of packing pieces
Store packing pieces under the following conditions:
Do not store in the open air. Store in dry and dust-free conditions. Do not expose to any aggressive media. Protect from direct sunlight. Avoid mechanical vibrations. Storage temperature: see technical data Relative humidity: see technical data In the case of storage for longer than 3 months, inspect the
general state of all parts and packaging regularly. If necessary, recondition or replace the packaging.
3.5 Storing and handling the transmitter rechargeable battery eneloop®¹ (optional)
Batteries gradually lose capacity with age and operating times
become shorter.
If handled properly, the lifetime of the battery is around 1,500
charge and discharge cycles. After further charging cycles and at
temperatures below 0°C the capacity can drop considerably.
Only recharge the battery when it is empty. If it is charged
after only a short period of operation, it shortens the service
life.
Do not charge the rechargeable battery at temperatures
below 0°C or above +40°C. The rechargeable battery
should preferably be charged within a temperature range of
+10°C to +30°C.
If the rechargeable battery has not been used for an exten-
ded period, charge it before using it.
The transmitter switches off automatically if it is not used for
longer than the parameterized time (e.g. 20minutes), or if the
rechargeable battery is discharged. This feature reliably prevents
harmful deep discharging.
¹ eneloop ® is a trademark of Panasonic (formerly of
Sanyo).
eneloop® battery technology enables up to 50 hrs of
continuous transmission without recharging; even
if – as occurs regularly in privately owned forests –
instances of use are separated by weeks or months.
eneloop® batteries only lose 15% of capacity per year
(as opposed to up to 100% in conventional quality
batteries)
12
Page 13
Safety notes
CAUTION!
Incorrect use of rechargeable batteries can cause eye
injuries or property damage!
Only use the batteries in the devices that are intended for
them (battery technology and type).
Only charge the rechargeable batteries in charging devices
that have either been supplied or recommended by the
manufacturer.
Keep the unused batteries far away from metallic objects
which could cause bridging of the contacts.
Fluid can emerge from the battery in the event of incorrect
usage. Avoid contact with it. In the event of accidental contact with the battery fluid, rinse with water. If battery fluid
gets in the eyes also seek medical attention.
In accordance with the battery ordinance, batteries
must not be disposed of with domestic waste!
Batteries purchased from TELENOT can be returned free
of charge, where they are disposed of properly.
3.6 Conduct in the event of danger and accidents
Preventive measures
You must always be prepared for the case of accidents or
fire.
Store the first-aid equipment (medical kit, blankets, etc.)
within easy reach.
Store the fire extinguisher within easy reach. Make sure that personnel are familiar with accident notifi-
cation, first-aid, and rescue equipment.
Keep access routes for emergency rescue vehicles free.
In the event of problems: handle correctly!
Put the device out of operation immediately. Rescue all persons from the danger zone. Initiate first-aid measures. Inform the authorized personell at the location of use. Notify a doctor and/ or the fire department. Clear access routes for rescue vehicles.

13 Installation
The connection line for the radio control F6 is pre-wired at the
factory for one or more plugs (e. g. 7-pin vehicle plugs). The
configuration and plug type dependend on the winch type.
For the following winch types there are pre-assembled connection
cables:
DANGER!
Danger due to malfunctions as a result of incorrect
cabling
The receiver may only be connected by a specialist
according to the pin assignment diagram enclosed.
A radio control with the "Gas +/-" and/or "MotorStart/
MotorSTOP" functions must use a separate connection
box. Reason: If the radio control is inserted into the
"Trailer lighting" socket, this will cause a short circuit.

Operation
Requirements for safe operation
Wear protective work clothing suitable for the activity and
the deployment location (PPA).
Before switching on the radio control, ensure that nobody
could be put at risk from operation.
Always work with a direct line of sight to the machine and
proceed with particular caution if you are not yet familiar
with operating the radio control.
Ensure that you do not accidentally mix up the cable move-
ment directions when changing locations or confuse the two
sides with double-drum winches.
To ensure that a work phase ends and consequently safe
conditions can be established on site in the highly unlikely
event of total failure of the battery, it is recommended that
you always carry two spare batteries and the manual control
for the winch with you in the vehicle.
The stop and emergency call switch on the transmitter
only affects the winch and is not to be confused with the
machine's emergency-off.
All non-observance of the safety information may result in
serious accidents and injuries.
In addition to generally applicable regulations for accident
prevention, the local regulations should also be observed.
Follow the instructions in the section "Maintenance". Only use the radio control within the climatic, environmental
conditions that are specified in the section "Technical data".
Check whether the waist or chest belt is damaged each time
before starting work to prevent the loss of the transmitter.
