Abstract
The utility of portable electric power generators is enhanced through wireless or hardwired remote controlled starting and stopping of the associated internal combustion engine. The safety of the remote controlled device is enhanced through the use of an audible warning emitted prior to starting of the internal combustion engine. The audible warning consists of a tonal pattern or recorded voice message, or both, to warn persons in close proximity that the engine of the generator system is about to start.
