GAVIN-6C Instruction Manual 

- 4 - 

  For safety, always fly the aircraft in visible range. Flying behind tall buildings 

will  not  only  lose  sight  of  the  aircraft,  but  also  degrade  the  RF  signal 

performance. 

  Always return the transmitter setting screen to the initial main screen during 

flight. Erroneous input during flight is very dangerous. 

Precautions in Other Conditions 

  Never fly in the range check mode (test mode). In the range check mode, the 

transmitter output power is greatly reduced, it may cause a crash. 

  When setting the transmitter during flight preparations, do not set it upright on 

the ground. The transmitter may fall to the ground, the sticks may move and 

the servos may rotate unexpectedly and cause injury. 

  Do  not  touch  the  receiver  antenna  directly  by  hands.  Otherwise,  the 

components  may  be  damaged  by  static,  and  this  may  cause  a  reduction  in 

transmission distance of the receiver. 

  Before  turning  on  the  transmitter,  always  make  sure  the  transmitter  throttle 

stick and throttle trim are in the lowest position. 

  Always  turn  on  the  R/C  system  in  proper  sequence:  turn  on  the  transmitter 

first, then turn on the receiver, and then turn on the engine or motor. Incorrect 

sequence may cause loss of control and personal injury. 

  Always  turn  off  the  R/C  system  in  proper  sequence:  turn  off  the  engine  or 

motor  first,  then  turn  off  the  receiver,  and  then  turn  off  the  transmitter. 

Incorrect sequence may cause loss of control and personal injury.
