* Since the transmitter supports no other control channels than those for drive and steering functions, the CH3
output is only used for the binding function.
** For electric models with mechanical speed controller units, a battery box or a separate rechargeable receiver
battery is always required for the power supply to the receiver. The power supply connection mounted on the
mechanical speed controller must not be used because the voltage of 7.2 V applied at the connection (in a 6-cell
rechargeable drive battery) is too high for the connected servos.
*** For electric models with electronic speed controller, a separate rechargeable receiver battery is only required on
the VCC connection if the engine control used does not have a BEC switch. For further information, refer to the
technical documents of the controller.
b) Installing the Receiver
Installation of the receiver depends on the model. For this reason, you should always follow the recommendations of
the model manufacturer regarding receiver installation.
Regardless of the model, you should always try to install the receiver so that it is protected from dust, dirt, moisture and
vibration in the best possible way. Two-sided adhesive foam (servo tape) or rubber rings that hold the foam-wrapped
receiver securely in place are suitable for fastening.
Attention!
The aerial wire (1) length is determined precisely.
For this reason, you must not roll up the wire,
form it into a loop or cut it off.
This would decrease the range significantly and
thus pose a considerable safety risk.
Pull the aerial wire out of the model through an opening in the body directly behind the receiver. To do so, you should
ideally use an aerial tube which may be supplied with the model or which can be obtained as an accessory.
