BATTERy STATUS LCD
This display provides a digital readout of Transmitter voltage. Stop flying and replace the batteries when voltage
display falls to 4.4V.
warninG!
Failure to stop flying immediately when the display reads 4.4V or less may lead to loss of control!
MODE CHANGE SWITCH
Located at the bottom left of the main PCB is the mode change switch which facilitates conversion between
throttle left (Mode 2) layout and throttle right (Mode 1) layout.
Mode 1 Throttle right
Mode 2 Throttle left

1. Remove batteries from battery compartment.
▼
2. Unscrew the six screws that retain the rear cover of the transmitter case and carefully unplug the two
connectors from the main pc board.
▼
3. On the lower left hand side of the main pc board found below the stick units there is a small switch found
on its own. Flick this switch into the other position, it is also marked on the PC board for L or R throttle
position. Do not touch the block of six dip switches higher up on the pc board.

4. Unscrew the small screw retaining the metal ratchet to the stick assembly and transfer to the opposite
stick unit.
▼
5. Remove the centering spring and retainer from this stick unit and transfer these parts to the first stick unit.
Make sure this stick unit now centre’s correctly and the ratchet is working smoothly on the other stick
unit.
▼
6. Re-attach the two connectors to the main pc board and fit rear tx cover back into position and screw the
six retaining screws back into place.

PLANET 5 FAILSAFE
The Planet 5 2.4g radio system has an easy to operate built in programmable failsafe system.
Channel No:1 (throttle channel) can be programmed to return to its preset position if the signal is lost.
Channels No: 2,3 & 4 return the their neutral position if the signal is lost.
Channel No:1
To set your throttle failsafe-preset position simply make sure the throttle stick is in the idle position then turn on
your transmitter. Now turn on the receiver.
Once the receivers LED has stopped flashing and is solid you have set the failsafe.
It is always recommended to have the failsafe set in the lowest position possible.

This will result in your aircraft descending uncontrollably and immediately in whatever attitude is determined
by the dynamics and speed of your model at the time!
This failsafe setting is designed to prevent the model from flying away (and thereby posing a threat to the safety
of third parties).
