Adjusting stick length
Both sticks are infi nitely variable in length over a broad
range, enabling you to set them to suit your personal
preference.
Loosen the locking screw using a 2 mm allen key, then
screw the stick top in or out to shorten or extend it.
Tighten the grubscrew again carefully to lock the set
length.

Opening the transmitter case
Please read the following notes carefully before you
open the transmitter. If you have no experience in such
matters, we recommend that you ask your nearest
GRAUPNER Service Centre to carry out the work for
you.
The transmitter should only be opened in the following
cases:
When a self-neutralising stick needs to be converted •
to non-neutralising action, or a non-neutralising stick
to a self-neutralising action.
If you wish to adjust the stick centring spring tension.
•
Before opening the transmitter check that it is switched
off (move Power switch to “
OFF ”).
There is no need to remove the transmitter battery.
However, if you leave it in place be sure not to switch the
transmitter on (“ON” position). If you wish to remove the
transmitter battery, please read the section on page 10.
Locate the six recessed screws on the back on the
transmitter, and undo them using a PH1-size cross-
point screwdriver (see drawing right). Hold the two case
sections together with your hand, and turn the unit over
to allow these six screws to fall out onto the table. Now
carefully raise the case back and fold it open to the left,
as if you were opening a book.
C A U T I O N
A two-core lead connects the case back to the trans-
mitter electronics in the front section. Please take
great care not to damage this cable!
Important:
Do not modify the transmitter circuit in any way, •
as this invalidates your guarantee and offi cial ap-
proval for the system.
Do not touch any part of the circuit boards with
•
any metal object. Avoid touching the contacts
with your fi ngers.
Never switch the transmitter on while the case is
•
open.
Please note the following points when closing the
transmitter:
Make sure that no cables are jammed between the •
transmitter case sections when you close the back.
Ensure that the DSC socket engages in its mounting.
•
Check that the two case sections fit together flush all •
round before fitting the retaining screws. Never force
the two case components together.
Fit the case screws in the existing threads, and tight-
•
en them gently. Over-tightening them will strip the
threads in the plastic.
