Mine works like Woodtic's. Push 2 buttons in sequence and the remote operates. Sure it will shut down after a couple minutes if not in use, but just push those 2 buttons again and you're back in business. My only issue is while operating the stablilizers, I have to remember to aim the remote at the control box from back there, otherwise I'll lose the signal. That's how mine works anyway. I find it handy to use.
