6.
Fix the transmitter antenna on the connector .Turn the transmitter power on and check the power indicator
LED of DIY extend board, the LED is normally light orange.
4.4 Range check:
For safe operation, it is necessary to perform pre-flight range check.
Caution must be paid when flying the unit in the neighborhood of metal fences, concrete buildings, or rows of
trees. If doing so, you may experience unexpected interferences.
Perform a range check as follows (Note: this is done with the receiver installed in the model):
a)
Place the model at least two feet (60cm) above non-metal contaminated ground; for example a wooden
bench.
b)
Place the receiver
’
s antenna horizontally. Don
’
t let the antenna touch the ground.
c)
Place the antenna of the transmitter in a vertical position.
d)
Turn on the transmitter and receiver, then press and hold the
“
F/S Range
”
button of the transmitter for 4
seconds the RED LED of the transmitter module will change into GREEN, the power of the transmitter module
will be reduced to ab.
1/1000
th of the nominal value, and the effective distance will be shortened to ab.
1/30
th
of the normal value, thus effective distance will be shortened to just above
30 meters
.
e)
Walk away from the model while simultaneously operating the controls on the transmitter. Have an assistant
stand to confirm that all controls are completely and correctly operational. You should be able to walk ab.
30m
from the receiver without losing control.
f)
Press the
“
F/S Range
”
button again, the range check will be finished.
4.5 Safety range indicator
When the model controlled by V8 2.4GHz radio control system is close to the maximum distance of control,
the response of the model will slow down. It is the safety feature designed by FrSky. It means, the user should fly
the model closer to the transmitter as soon, as the reactions are getting slower.
4.6 Signal loss indicator
In some special circumstances, such as a strong interference, the signal can be lost.
When signal lost in a short period, the receiver continues to try to search for the transmitter, at the same time,
keeps the last command from transmitter, until a new command is received.
Failsafe:
Our receivers support all the failsafe function for every channel. Just do it as bellow:
After the receiver has been bind, press briefly the
“
F/S Range
”
button of the receiver, the GREEN LED of the
receiver will flash twice, the failsafe is set up successfully.
If you do not need the failsafe function any more, just re-bind the receiver.
Attention:
Controlling distance is affected by the environment too. Please test it in an open field away from any
obstacles. The controlling distance in the air is greater than that on the ground. Our controlling range is based on a
conservative ground test.
We hope you enjoy our new 2.4GHz products. They have been designed and produced using the highest
quality control measures available. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
