tact. If the magnets are well apposed to each other, they should stick
fine and you won’t shake them loose anymore
• You can also try using a small piece of tape to securely affix the
battery to the receiver if your airplane is a bit shaky in the air. If
your gearbox and prop are well balanced, you will have less shak-
ing of your model in the air - you can check that too to reduce
vibration.
5. I crashed my plane, and now when I start up the receiv-
er, I don’t hear any tones at all and I can’t seem to sync
anymore
• Check your magnetic actuator wiring - broken wire?
• Check the LED on the receiver - does it blink when the receiver is
powered up with the cell? It should
• Does the LED blink in an S-O-S pattern for about 10 seconds and
then it does play some tones? If it does, this means your cell needs
to be recharged
• Check magnets on your cell and on the receiver - are they all still
attached and intact? If they have broken off of the cell, you’ll need to
replace or repair it - If a magnet has broken off of the receiver, con-
tact Plantraco
•
Check the magnet terminals to see if there is any mag-
netic debris coating the cells, preventing a good electri-
cal connection. If there is, clean them off with a Q-tip,
toothpick, small flathead screwdriver etc Dip your Q-tip in
rubbing alcohol, this can clean the crud off your
magnet terminals
• Check the bahoma cell - measure volts with voltmeter. You should
be above 4 Volts for a fully charged cell
• Perhaps in the crash, you broke a solder joint on the PCB - if you
know how to solder, you can try to reheat the solder joints of all
components until you fix the problem, or you can contact Plantraco
for more advice or repair services.
6. I can’t get FMS to work properly
• Make sure you put your transmitter in FMS mode. Do this by
holding the Right Stick in the up position at startup of the trans-
mitter. You can check that the transmitter is in FMS mode by
starting up your receiver - it should keep beeping without syncing
to the transmitter since the transmitter should be in the non-trans-
mitting FMS mode now. If your receiver can still sync to your
transmitter, you are not in FMS mode.
• Follow the directions on the CDROM carefully. Re-install FMS, or
call your local computer guru to help you. It’s easy, but maybe
your system is messed up. We’ll have more tips on FMS mode on
our website, just go to http://www.plantraco.com/FMS or
