Your Merlin Transmitter is an advanced controller designed for the beginner to be easy to use and tune. You will need to follow the steps below to
ensure you prepare the controller correctly for use and understand the adjustment possibilities available.
Switching the transmitter “Mode” from Mode 2, to Mode 1.
The MTX - 472 Transmitter has the ability to offer two options for transmitter control.
1.
With the transmitter turned off, remove the aerial clip from the back of the transmitter.
2.
Fold the aerial back so that it is at 90 degrees from the transmitter case and rotate 180 degrees. The aerial will then fold back into the
groove on the opposite site of the case.
3.
Reinstall the aerial clip with the screws.
4.
Turn on the transmitter. The LCD screen will now read MODE 1 (To switch back to Mode 2, use the same process)
Binding the transmitter to the model.
This is needed in the event that the model needs to be bound to either your transmitter or a replacement transmitter. The model will not respond to
an unbound transmitter.
1.
Whilst turning the transmitter on, hold down the Throttle Stick button. You will hear a beeping sound and a line flashes on the LCD screen.
2.
Plug in the battery pack on the model. After a few seconds the LED on the model turns a solid red and the transmitter reverts to normal
flight mode. Your model and transmitter are now bound together for interference free flight!
Switching Off
Unplug the main battery followed by switching off the transmitter. Always follow this procedure when switching off.
