Do not expose the Redpoint Descender Auto Belay device to environments with prolonged temperatures greater than 185° F (85° C). Do not expose the Descender to a corrosive environment. Always remove or seal the unit during trailer transport. The auto belay devices internal parts should be protected from dirt, salt and water. Do not install where the unit or line can come in contact with an electrical source. Any Redpoint Descender that shows signs of excessive wear, deterioration, malfunction, or insufficient retraction force must be removed from use and marked as “Unusable” until returned to an approved service center for repair.

This change in performance is expected and normal. The brake pads will produce an intermittent sound when the line is slowly extracted.
