3.2.1 Transmitter Antenna

PL18 EV transmitter has a built-in antenna. When the transmitter starts the work, the antenna operates 
automatically, without being operated separately!

3.2.2 Status Indicator

The status indicator displays the transmitter's power and operating status. 

When the screen is on:

•  If RF is enabled without connecting the receiver (one-way bind receiver), the blue indicator is on.
•  If RF is disabled, the yellow indicator is on.
•  If the receiver is connected bi-directionally, the green indicator is on.

When the screen is off:

1.  If RF is enabled without connecting the receiver (one-way bind receiver), the breathing indicator can change to 

cyan, magenta, and yellow.

2.  If RF is disabled, the breathing indicator is yellow.
3.  If the receiver is connected bi-directionally, the breathing indicator can change to red, green, and blue:

•  in case of bind: the green indicator is on (fast flashing).
•  in case of an alarm: the red indicator is on (slow flashing).
•  in case of power-on: the blue is on until the power-on is successful.
•  in case of power-off: the current color is not changed until the product is shut down successfully and the LED 
is off.

3.2.3 Trim Switch

There are 8 groups of trims in the transmitter for adjusting the center point of the device. Each toggle of the trim 
corresponds to a change in value that can be set to 5 units by default. If you keep pressing, the trim position starts to 
change rapidly.
