Locate the stop control and release
Check both before relying on a remote.
Try the controls off the body
Follow the instructions to start and stop the motor. Identify an onboard stop even if the device comes with a controller.
Check how the device comes off
An adjustable band and a sleeve have different removal actions. Do not force a tight fit. Stop and remove the device immediately for pain, numbness or a color change.
Check both power sources
Some remotes need their own batteries or charge cable. Review the box contents and instructions for each component.
