Batteries
Be sure to insert both battery packs in their respective locations on the Amiga.
Your Amiga can operate with one battery, but if you have two batteries inserted in their respective slots, both must be ON. For further details on proper and safe battery operations see Batteries and Charging
While operating the Amiga:
- Do not stand in front of the Amiga
- Have Amiga on flat surface

Starting the Amiga
First ensure the ESTOP is fully pressed down before operating anything on the Amiga
Once both batteries are installed with their respective keys, plug the IEC power cables into both batteries, then turn the key to a horizon position to start Amiga.
You should see the farm-ng logo appear then the START/VAMOS screen.
Once that has appeared, release ESTOP and wait a few seconds.
Press / Tap START and the dashboard will appear.

It is required to calibrate you pendant when you first start setup of your Amiga, and anytime you replace the pendant.

To do this you will need to go to the:

Settings tab-->Pendant-->Calibrate Pendant -
