71 Program description: base settings - model helicopter
Hold the transmitter at hip-height, and away from your 4.
body. Do not point the aerial straight at the model; in-
stead rotate and / or angle the aerial tip so that it is
vertical while you carry out the check.
If you have not already done so, use the arrow but-

of the left or right-hand touch-key to move
to the “Test range” line, and initiate range-check
mode by briefl y pressing the central
SET button of
the right-hand touch-key:

range test 99sec
When you start the range-check, the transmitter’s
output power is signifi cantly reduced, and the blue
LED on the aerial base starts to fl ash. At this point
the time display on the transmitter screen starts
counting down, and a double beep sounds every fi ve
seconds.
From fi ve seconds before the end of the range-check
you will hear a triple beep every second. When the
99 seconds of the range-check period have elapsed,
the transmitter switches back to full power, and the
blue LED glows constantly once more.
Within this period walk away from the model, moving
6.
the sticks all the while. If at any point within a distance
of about fi fty metres you notice a break in the connec-
tion, attempt to reproduce it.
If the model is fi tted with a motor, switch it on in order
7.
to check the system’s interference rejection.
Walk further away from the model until you no longer
8.
have full control over it.
At this point wait until the test period has elapsed,
9.
with the model still switched on and ready for use.
When the range-check period is over, the model
should respond again to control commands. It this is
not 100% the case, do not use the system. Contact
your nearest
Graupner Service Centre.
Carry out a range-check before every fl ight, and sim- 10.
ulate all the servo movements which are likely to oc-
cur in a typical fl ight. To ensure safe operation of the
model, the range must always be at least fi fty metres
on the ground.
Caution:
Never initiate a range-check when you are actually
operating a model!
RF transmit
In this menu line you can manually switch the transmit-
ter’s RF transmission on and off again for a specifi c
model for the period that the transmitter is currently
switched on. For example, you might wish to do this to
save power when demonstrating the programming of a
model.
If you switch the transmitter off with the RF
module switched off, next time you switch the trans-
mitter on it will be switched back on again.
Use the arrow buttons
cd
of the left or right-hand
touch-key to move to the “RF transmit” line, and touch the
central
SET button of the right-hand touch-key to activate
the value window:

Now you can use the right-hand arrow buttons to switch
between OFF and ON. Touch the central
SET button of
the right-hand touch-key again to conclude the input.
