9 CHANNEL 2.4GHz AIRCRAFT COMPUTER RADIO SYSTEM
Hitec 2.4GHz System
Range Check Function
It is critical that before each flight session you perform a range check that confirms the signal between the receiver and transmitter is
appropriate. Unlike the FM/PPM or PCM signal radios, 2.4GHz systems use a fixed shorter, stubby transmitter antenna so the traditional
method of range checking your system by lowering the transmitter antenna will not work.
We instead use a power-down mode to reduce the transmitter signal strength. During this power-down mode, you should walk away
from the secured aircraft carrying the transmitter to a distance of approx. 30 meters, testing the effective range.
