PROBLEM

CAUSE/SOLUTION

For any other problems not addressed here, please contact Product Support.

The power LED on the
transmitter does not
illuminate when the switch
is moved to the ON position.

The AA batteries in the transmitter are exhausted. Replace with new AA batteries.

The AA batteries in the transmitter are installed incorrectly. Reinstall the batteries 
correctly as described on page 3.

The transmitter is emitting
a continuous beep.

The AA batteries in the transmitter are low. Replace with new AA batteries.

The control surfaces do not 
move in the correct direction.

The transmitter control functions need to be reversed.  Follow the reversing 
procedure described on page 5.

The rudder is controlled by
the left stick.

The plane control surfaces 
or throttle do not respond 
to control stick inputs from 
the transmitter.

The LiPo battery is depleted. Charge the battery.

The LiPo battery is not properly connected to the airplane. Disconnect the battery 
and reconnect it, ensuring it is fully engaged in the connector in the 
correct orientation.

The transmitter has become “unbound” with the airplane (the transmitter and 
airplane can no longer communicate with each other). To rebind the transmitter to 
the airplane, turn the transmitter switch to the ON position. Connect the LiPo battery 
to the airplane. The TTX402 will autobind with the Playmate. Confirm operation of 
the airplane with the transmitter. If the binding procedure fails, disconnect the 
battery and turn off the transmitter. Move the plane and transmitter apart with at 
least 2 feet (0.6m) between them and then repeat the procedure. Contact Product 
Support if it still fails to bind.

Follow the procedure described on page 6, Step 6.
