FAILSAFE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY:

Receiver is not properly linked to the transmitter

– bind the Rx to the Tx and re-try. Check the channels which are programmed for transferring

from Tx to Rx in the transmitter’s programming. Contact Hobby Services for further details.

WIRELESS TRAINING FUNCTION NOT BINDING:

Check to see that another Tactic

2.4GHz system is not on in your area. The teacher’s and student’s transmitters were
not powered in the proper sequence or are positioned too far from each other. Carefully
follow the instructions on pages 37– 39 for proper binding and operation for training.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES WON’T ACCEPT CHARGE THROUGH THE

TRANSMITTER:

Check the charger for proper setup and operation. Make sure the

charge plug is inserted fully into the charge jack. Make sure the transmitter’s power switch
is in the OFF position. Make sure the cells are inserted inside the battery compartment
in the proper direction.

Contact Hobby Services for other problems.
