1. Transmitter
a.
Loading Batteries
You may use either Alkaline "AA" size batteries or 3rd
party Nicad batteries.
· Push the bottom battery cover in the direction of the
arrow then lift up the cover
· Load 8 AA batteries (Be sure the polarity is correct)
· Reinstall battery case with installed AA batteries.
· Nicad should be charged before use
c. Recharging Nicad Batteries
The Ranger 3 FM Sky is equipped with an external
charging jack so there is no need to remove the Nicad
batteries from the transmitter. The Hitec CG-22A is made
to charge these type of batteries overnight or for
approximately 12 - 15 hours. Please refer to the following
diagram; check to see that the charge lights are lit after
the connection is complete. It is advisable to cycle your
Nicad batteries at least once every 5 or 6 charges. This
can be done by simply turning your transmitter on with
the antenna connected and extended to let it run
completely dead.(Warning!!! Always extend your
antenna as not to overload the circuitry when radio is
on.), then follow the charging method and repeat this 3
times, this will remove the memory that the battery has
stored up if you just simply charge a half dead pack.
d. Changing Crystals
Changing crystal to avoid conflicts with other aircraft is
possible where permitted. (You must check your local
rules before doing so. If you are allowed to change
crystals, both the transmitter and receiver crystals must
be changed together. You must change within the same
band. Use only Hitec crystals when changing
frequencies.
2. Installation of Receiver and Servos
After connecting the receiver and servos as below illustration, turn on the power
to the transmitter first then turn the receiver on. (Always turn the transmitter ON
first and OFF last.) This will prevent the receiver from picking up stray signals
and going out of control. Now move the controls lo see if the servos are moving
properly. lf not, check your wiring or crystals if the servos do not move at all.
b. Reading the LED Battery Indicators
With new alkaline or freshly charged Nicad, the Green light should be lit. With use, the Green light
will turn to Amber. If the Red begins to flash, operation should be stopped and the batteries should
be recharged or replaced immediately.
