Handling of the FlexPendant
The FlexPendant is a high-quality handheld terminal equipped with highly sensitive
state-of-the-art electronics. To avoid malfunctions or damage through improper
handling, follow these instructions during operation.
The FlexPendant may only be used for the purposes mentioned in this manual.
The FlexPendant was developed, manufactured, tested and documented in
accordance with applicable safety standards. If you follow the instructions regarding
safety and use as described in this manual, the product will, in the normal case,

Handling and cleaning

A disconnected jogging device should be stored in such a way that it cannot be
mistaken for being connected to the controller.

Cabling and power supply

Product manual - IRB 14000

• Handle with care. Do not drop, throw, or give the FlexPendant strong shock.
It can cause breakage or failure.
• If the FlexPendant is subjected to shock, always verify that the safety
functions (three-position enabling device and emergency stop) work and are
not damaged.
• When not using the device, hang it on the wall bracket provided for storage
so it does not accidentally fall.
• Always use and store the FlexPendant in such a way that the cable does not
become a tripping hazard.
• Never use sharp objects (such as screwdriver or pen) for operating the touch
screen. This could damage the touch screen. Instead use your finger or a
stylus (located on the back on FlexPendant with USB port).
• Clean the touch screen regularly. Dust and small particles can clog the touch
screen and cause it to malfunction.
• Never clean the FlexPendant with solvents, scouring agent, or scrubbing
sponges. Use a soft cloth and a bit of water or mild cleaning agent.
See Product manual - IRC5, section Cleaning the FlexPendant.
• Always close the protective cap on the USB port when no USB device is
connected. The port can break or malfunction if exposed to dirt or dust.
CAUTION
• Turn off the power supply before opening the cable entrance area of the
FlexPendant. Otherwise the components could be destroyed or undefined
signals could occur.
• Make sure that nobody trips over the cable to prevent the device from falling
to the ground.
• Take care not to squeeze and thus damage the cable with any object.
