locked-rotor condition, leading to irreparable damage to the speed controller.
Electric ignition systems
Combustion engine ignition systems also produce interference that can adversely affect remote
control functioning.
Always supply power to an electric ignition system from a separate, dedicated battery.
Use only interference-suppressed spark plugs, spark plug connectors and shielded ignition cables.
Mount the receiver at an adequate distnce from ignition system components.
Static charges
Warning:
Lightening results in magnetic shock waves that interfere with the functioning of a
remote control system – even if the storm is miles away. Therefore …
… stop flying right away if a storm is approaching. Static charges gathered via the
antenna also represent a lethal hazard.
Please observe the following:
• In order to fulfill FCC RF emission requirements for mobile transmitters, a distance of at least
20 cm must be maintained between the system antenna and any persons while this system is
being operated. Operation of this system at a smaller distance is therefore not recommended.
• To avoid disturbance caused by the electrical properties and emission characteristics of other
transmitters, maintain a distance at least 20 cm from other transmitters.
• To operate the remote control system, the transmitter unit requires the correct program setting
for the given country. This is necessary for compliance with various regulations such as FCC,
ETSI, CE etc. Follow the specific instructions on this provided with the transmitter and receiver.
• Prior to every flight, perform a complete functional test, range test and execute a complete
simulated flight in order to rule out any possibility of system faults or problems with the model’s
programming.
• Never program the transmitter or receiver while the model is being operated.

Care and maintenance
Care instruction!
The transmitter is entirely maintenance-free and therefore requires no servicing of any kind.
However, it is in your own interests to protect the charger from dust, dirt and moisture.
Care instruction!
To clean the transmitter, disconnect it from the battery pack and gently wipe it clean with a dry
cloth only (do not use any cleaning agents).
