EXMITTER EX6 Digital Radio System
Perform Range Check
As a precaution, an operational ground range check should be
performed before the first flight each time out.
Performing a range check is a good way to detect problems that could
cause loss of control such as low batteries , defective or damaged
radio components or radio interference. This usually requires an
assistant and should be done at actual flying site you will be using.
Firstly, turn on the transmitter. Then install the fully charged battery in
to the vehicle and hold it in place with hook-and-loop strap. Connect
the battery and install the hatch.
Remember, carefully not to "bump" the throttle stick. Otherwise the
propeller will rotate and possibly cause damage or injury.
With the antenna on the transmitter collapsed(not extended),begin
walking away from the model operating the controls in a predictable
pattern(for example, turn elevator up, and then down. Turn aileron and
rudder right, and then left). While moving the control surfaces, also
vary motor rpm.
Remind your assistant to alert you if the controls fail to respond or
if they move suddenly or erratically. You should be able to matain
control up to a distance of approximately 100 feets(30 meters).
If the controls respond erratically or if anything else seems wrong,
make certain all the servo wires are securely connected to the receiver
and that the transmitter and receiver batteries are fully charged. If
you can not find a mechanical problem with the model, it is slightly
possible that there is radio interference somewhere in the area.One
option would be to try another range check at an alternate flying site.
After the range check, fully extend the anternna.
FHSS Radio Control System
FHSS is an advanced radio control system with better performance of
anti-interference.
EX6 comes with FHSS system, its faster frequence prevents
interference signal from catching up. Therefore using this system
allows the radio to work in a more stable environment.
