CHARGE JACK:
A built-in charge jack is included for recharging of NiCd or NiMH
rechargeable batteries. This jack can accept charge leads designed for Tactic brand
transmitters, with the center pin being positive polarity. This jack is NOT compatible
with charge leads designed for other radio brands. If using rechargeable batteries,
make sure to only use a charger which is compatible with those battery types.
Make sure the Tx power switch is OFF to charge the batteries through the charge
jack. Connect the charge lead to the charger fi rst, then to the Tx charge jack. Follow
the instructions included with the charger. Charge leads such as TACP0101 – Tx
Rx Charge Leads from Tactic are recommended for use with this transmitter.
IMPORTANT:
Do not operate an R/C model with weak batteries as it
could result in reduced range and/or possible loss of control. Failure to
obey this warning could result in destruction of the model and possible
bodily injury. Only use the charge jack to recharge rechargeable cells. Never attempt
to recharge alkaline batteries. Do not accidentally short circuit the terminals inside
the charge jack as permanent damage could result and void the warranty. Do not
charge batteries at currents greater than 1 amp through this charge jack. Misuse,
improper charging, or over-charging of rechargeable cells can result in damage to
the cells that could include cell rupture, explosion, or fi re!!
ON/OFF POWER CONTROL AND LED WITH LOW BATTERY ALARM:
Move the power switch to the “ON” position. The red LED should illuminate. If the LED
stays on constantly the batteries have ample power for a fl ight. If the LED is fl ashing,
and also accompanied by beeps, the transmitter’s batteries have become weak and
require replacement or recharge prior to attempting a fl ight. If this alarm activates
during fl ight land the aircraft immediately to avoid a possible loss of all control!
GIMBAL STICKS:
The length of each control
stick can be adjusted for preferred feel. With a
5/64" hex wrench, loosen the set screw inside the
tip of the stick. Turn the tip of the stick counter-
clockwise to lengthen the stick. Turn the tip of the
stick clockwise to shorten the stick. Tighten the
set screw once the desired length is found.
AILERON:
Channel 1 controls the airplane’s ailerons. These moveable surfaces
at the end of the wings rotate the airplane about an imaginary line which extends
from the airplane’s nose to the tail called the “roll axis”. Moving this stick to the
