is

 

a

 

legal

 

requirement

 

that

 

a

 

Failsafe

 

is

 

set

 

up

 

correctly

 

 

as

 

a

 

minimum

 

to

 

idle/stop

 

any

 

motors,

 

engines

 

or

 

any

 

other

 

form

 

of

 

propulsion

 

system.

 

The

 

receiver’s

 

Failsafe

 

operates

 

on

 

all

 

channels

 

 

irrespective

 

of

 

the

 

transmitter

 

model

 

or

 

brand.

 

If

 

your

 

transmitter

 

has

 

its

 

own

 

Failsafe

 

function,

 

it’s

 

recommended

 

to

 

disable

 

it

 

to

 

prevent

 

any

 

conflicts.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Troubleshooting

 

Issue

 

Solutions

 

Check

 

that

 

the

 

receiver

 

battery

 

is

 

not

 

empty.

 

Check

 

that

 

the

 

servo

 

connectors

 

are

 

orientated

 

correctly.

 

Receiver

 

does

 

not

 

power

 

on/No

 

LEDs

 

are

 

lit

 

on

 

the

 

receiver.

 

If

 

the

 

receiver

 

is

 

subjected

 

to

 

moisture,

 

it

 

can

 

cause

 

it

 

to

 

fail.

 

It

 

may

 

function

 

once

 

dried

 

out;

 

however,

 

its

 

performance

 

cannot

 

be

 

guaranteed.

 

Ensure

 

that

 

the

 

receiver

 

is

 

protected

 

from

 

moisture.

 

Move

 

the

 

transmitter

 

closer

 

or

 

further

 

away

 

from

 

the

 

receiver.

 

Avoid

 

any

 

areas

 

near

 

other

 

2.4GHz

 

devices,

 

such

 

as

 

Wi

Fi

 

Routers,

 

Laptops,

 

Phones,

 

Video

 

Repeaters

 

and

 

other

 

transmitters.

 

Try

 

setting

 

the

Receiver

 

loses

 

signal

 

in

 

close

 

range.

 

The

 

receiver

 

has

 

a

 

highly

 

sensitive

 

RF

 

front

 

end

 

to

 

give

 

superb

 

range.

 

If

 

a

 

transmitter

 

is

 

too

 

close,

 

it

 

can

 

cause

 

it

 

to

 

become

 

overwhelmed

 

and

 

loose

 

signal.

 

Also

 

if

 

the

 

receiver

 

is

 

in

 

CPPM/RSSI

 

output

 

mode,

 

the

 

RSSI

 

output

 

signal

 

may

 

become

 

unstable.

 

Move

 

the

 

transmitter

 

further

 

away

 

from

 

the

 

receiver’s

 

antenna.

 

Briefly

 

press

 

the

 

bind

 

button

 

again.

 

This

 

should

 

change

 

between

 

a

 

flashing

 

red

 

LED

 

and

 

a

 

flashing

 

green

 

LED

 

(vice

 

versa).

If

 

this

 

still

 

does

 

not

 

work,

 

you

 

may

 

need

 

to

 

update

 

the

 

transmitter’s

 

module.

 

It

 

needs

 

to

 

be

 

on

 

version

 

3.01

 

or

 

greater.

 

Please

 

contact

 

your

distributor.

 

In

the

 

servos

 

jitter

You

 

may

 

have

 

accidentally

 

put

 

your

 

Hitec

 

module

 

into

 

rescan

 

and

 

retune

 

mode.

 

This

 

can

 

happen

 

if

 

the

is

 

held

 

too

 

long.

relink

 

your

It

 

is

 

recommended

 

to

 

disable

check

 

that

 

it

 

is

 

set

 

up

 

correctly

 

by

 

turning

 

off

 

the
