checks listed in the crane operating instructions and must be satisfied that the in-
stallation is in safe operating condition.

The DEMAG logo is displayed first. When the connection to the radio receiver has
been established, the following displays must be shown:
• Crane identification of the assigned radio receiver
• Icon to display the radio signal quality
• Icon to display the battery capacity
• Bar display
• STO
Note: If the hand-held transmitter was connected to the charger before start-
ing work or was switched to standby mode in any other way, the elec-
tronic switching-on key must be entered for switching the unit on, see
section 7.2.1.
The radio system performs a self-test when it is switched on. The installation is
then ready for operation if no error statuses are displayed. Fault elimination is
described in section 11.
In addition, the crane operator must check the following before starting work:
• Battery capacity
• Quality of radio connection
• Displayed crane identification and relevant crane
• Function of signal/horn
• STOP key function
To check functioning of Signal and STOP, crane operation must be switched on.
