Optima 6) and include a Low Receiver Battery Warning as a basic function.

Hitec offers a wide variety of telemetry sensors designed to work with both fuel and electric powered
aircraft. Check our website at www.hitecrcd.com for the latest available telemetry accessories.

- When the 2.4GHz system and High Voltage servos are used together, we strongly
recommend using fully charged large capacity battery packs.
Warning
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. To do a range check, 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.

System Menu list. From here, scroll to the SPECTRA function
and press the jog dial to enter the Spectra setup menu.
3. Scroll to the RANGE CHECK and push the jog dial to enter the
range check function.
4. If you are sure you want to proceed with the range check,
select “Yes” and press the jog dial to continue.
5. Walk away from the secured aircraft carrying the transmitter
to a distance of approx. 30 meters, testing the effective range.
Once you have completed the range check push the jog dial
to end the range check.
