2.3 Operating instructions

The remote control is battery-operated. To ensure longer life, it will automatically
go into sleep mode five minutes after the last button was pushed. Deactivation is
signalled with two short sound bursts and a blinking "POWER" indicator. The
remote control is activated by holding down any button for 1.5 seconds. When
the remote control has been activated, the selected thruster can immediately be
operated by pressing the "arrow" button in the desired direction. The thruster will
be running as long as the button is depressed. (Max. 4x30 sec.)
