An operator can select one or two signs and connect or bind a hand-held to them either in the yard, or on the job. The hand- held will only bind to the sign(s) assigned to it in the following procedure.

When storing the AutoFlagger inside, or in the absence of sunlight for periods of time greater than 45 days, use of a trickle charger will help keep the 12 volt deep cycle batteries charged.
