Reading the LED Battery Indicators
There are three indicator lights on the face of the radio marked High (green), Mid (amber) and Low (red).
These relate to the condition of your transmitter battery. Please pay attention to these LEDs and stop flying when
the red "Low" light is on.
Recharging Nicad batteries
Your Neon transmitter is supplied with rechargeable Nicad batteries.
Before using the radio, plug the supplied CG-25 or CG-22A overnight wall charger into a normal household
120V or 220V. AC wall socket. There are two leads on the CG-25 or CG-22A, the round one plugs into the
socket on the lower left side of the transmitter. The green light on the CG-25 or CG-22A should glow, confirming
charging is taking place, leave it on charge for at least 18 hours. Once fully charged, the transmitter should
operate for about 120 minutes. Typically you will charge the radio up overnight before flying the next day.
Do not leave the radio connected to the CG-25 or CG-22A charger for over 36 hours or permanent damage to
the transmitter battery pack may occur.
Transmitter antenna
Always have the antenna screwed in securely and fully extended when the transmitter is on,
except when doing a range check.
Elevon/V-tail mix
Your Neon transmitter has a "built-in" ch. 1 and 2 mix for flying wing
"elevon" controls and "V-tail" ruddervator controls.
This function is activated with the slide switch on the face of the radio.
There are two factors that determine what direction the servo will
move when the Elevon or V-tail mixing is selected.
- Whether the servo is plugged into the ch. 1 or 2 port on the receiver
- The servo "direction of rotation", selectable within the transmitter case.
Using these two functions it is possible to have the two servos move
in the directions required for Elevon or V-tail/Ruddervator control.
Gimbal stick length adjustment
The gimble stick is adjustable to suit your personal preference.
Hold the bottom half of the knurled knob and twist the
top half counterclockwise to loosen, adjust the length to your
satisfaction and twist the two pieces to lock them together.
Throttle Function
The Neon 3 features a slide switch located on the back of the
transmitter, it is adjusted with your left index finger as your hand
naturally wraps around the radio case. Use this switch to get
proportional control of your throttle servo, or ESC,
(Electronic Speed Control.)
Note: All ESC's connect to your receiver in the ch. 3 port.
