A remote is supplied with the unit and allows for operation of the device wirelessly. Once the software has been initialized, the remote allows the operator to perform common tasks. When not in use, the remote is stored in a specialized holder on the back on the device.

Depending on the hardware of the F2 device, you may get one of two remotes.
