We have installed a special “Power Down Mode” in the T8J in order to perform an operational ground range
check. During this mode, the RF power is reduced in order to test the operational range of the T8J.
To activate the Power Down Mode and Perform A Range Check:
1) To activate the “Power Down Mode” please hold down the
JOG KEY
and then turn the transmitter switch
on. A power mode screen comes out.
JOG KEY
is pushed where Power Down is chosen. When this mode is
active the Purple LED on the Lighting front of the transmitter will provide users with an audible and visual
indication that the transmitter is in the “Power Down Mode”.
Audibly, the transmitter will beep one time every three seconds. Visually, the LCD screen will display
“POWER DOWN MODE”. The words “POWER DOWN MODE” will blink as an additional reminder that
the transmitter is in the “Power Down Mode”.
2) With the “Power Down Mode” activated, walk away from the model while simultaneously operating the
