4. Between the Transmitter having a DIN jack as INSTRUCTOR
and a Transmitter having a STEREO jack as STUDENT.
1) Connect the INSTRUCTOR or DIN Jack adapter marker "Master"
with #58320 stereo jack Trainer cable.
2) Power on the INSTRUCTOR transmitter.
3) Plug the combined trainer cable into the INSTRUCTOR transmitter
DIN jack connection.
4) The STUDENT transmitter should be turned off.
5) Plug the trainer cable into the STUDENT transmitter with the
stereo jack. The power to the STUDENT transmitter will turn on
automatically and you will see "SLV MODE" on the LCD screen
which means the transmitter is recognized as STUDENT or "Slave".
6) Though the STUDENT transmitter is powered on automatically,
it will not transmit a radio signal as long as the trainer cable is
connected properly.
NOTE :
There is no sign of recognition on the LCD screen of the Transmitter using
the DIN jack.
NOTE
1) Do NOT turn on the power of the STUDENT transmitter having the
STEREO Jack. Once you plug the trainer cable into the STUDENT
Transmitter using the STEREO Jack, it will be powered on automatically.
2) All Transmitters in the trainer system use their own batteries.
Both batteries in both the Instructor and Student Transmitters should be
properly charged and installed when flying in the trainer mode.
3) You may wish to use a simple "contractors cord" knot on the cable to
adaptor connection to keep it from coming "unplugged" when using it.
Heat shrink tubing or electrical tape can also be used.
Most Hitec transmitters use a DIN Jack connector for the trainer
system cable. The Optic 6 Sport is the first of Hitec's transmitters to
use a stereo jack connector.
Please read the following instruction carefully for using transmitters
with DIN Jack and/or stereo jack for the trainer system.
You will need the Trainer cable full package (#58321).
This full package is consists of a STEREO Jack trainer cable(#58320),
Instructor DIN Jack and Student DIN Jack Adapter.
This package allows the proper connection between a 6 cell battery
system radio (ex. Optic 6 Sport) and 8 cell battery system radios
(ex. Optic 6 / Eclipse 7 / Laser 4 & 6).
NOTE
This section tells you how to connect the transmitters only.
Please read the prior sections for the full information needed to properly
operate the trainer cable system.
3. Between the Transmitter having a STEREO jack as
INSTRUCTOR and Transmitter having DIN jack as STUDENT.
1) Power on the INSTRUCTORS Transmitter having the STEREO Jack.
2) Plug the STEREO Jack trainer cable (#58320) into the Master,
or INSTRUCTORS transmitter . Note you will see "MAS MODE"
on LCD screen which means the transmitter is recognized as
the INSTRUCTOR or "Master".
3) Connect the DIN Jack adapter marked "STUDENT" from the
cable package #58320 to the other end of the stereo connector
cable. This combination enables you to connect the cable to the
STUDENT transmitter with a DIN Jack connector.
4) Plug the DIN connector into the socket on the STUDENT transmitter.
5) Finally, power on the STUDENT transmitter.
Though it is powered on, the STUDENT transmitter will not
transmit the radio signal as long as the trainer cable is connected
properly.
Operating with a Trainer Cord
Stick Length Adjustment
You may change the length of the control sticks to make your
transmitter more comfortable to hold and operate.
To lengthen or shorten your transmitter's sticks, first unlock the
stick tip by holding locking piece B and turning stick tip A
counterclockwise. Next, move the locking piece B up or down
(to lengthen or shorten). When the length feels comfortable,
lock the position by turning locking piece B counterclockwise.

Stick Length Adjustment
Stick Lever Tension Adjustment
You may adjust the stick tension of your sticks to provide the
"feel" that you like for flying. To adjust your springs, you'll have
to remove the rear case of the transmitter. Using a screwdriver,
remove the six screws that hold the transmitter's rear cover into
position, and put them in a safe place. Unscrew the antenna and
set it aside. Now, place some padding under the front of the
transmitter and set it face-down on the pad. Gently ease off the
transmitter's rear cover. Now you'll see the view shown.
Using a small cross-point screwdriver, rotate the adjusting screw
for each stick for the desired spring tension.
The tension increases when the adjusting screw is turned
clockwise, and decreases for counterclockwise motion.
When you are satisfied with the spring tensions, you may close
the transmitter. Very carefully reinstall the rear cover.
When the cover is properly in place, tighten the six screws.
