9. Setting Up the Transmitter
a) Aligning the Transmitter Aerial
Angle the transmitter’s aerial (see figure 2, item 1) to the side, so that the aerial is at a 90° angle to the connection line remote control/model. This is how you will
achieve best signal transmission. Avoid directing the tip of the transmitter aerial directly at the model.
b) Inserting the Batteries
Important!
Only operate the remote control transmitter with batteries with a voltage of 1.5 V/cell. Rechargeable batteries (NiCd/NiMH) only have a voltage of
1.2 V/cell and therefore are not suitable for power supply to the transmitter or the charge function that is integrated in the transmitter.
Proceed as follows to insert the batteries:
The battery compartment lid (1) is located on the back of the transmitter. Lightly
press the corrugated area (2) and push off the lid downwards.
Now put the 4 batteries in the battery compartment. Observe the correct polarity
of the individual cells. A corresponding note (3) is located on the bottom of the
battery compartment.
Then push the battery compartment lid on again from below and let it latch.
c) Checking the Transmitter’s Power Supply
When new batteries are inserted, switch on the transmitter with the function switch (see figure 2, item 7) for test purposes. For this, push the function switch from
the left switch position “OFF” to the right switch position “ON”. To indicate correct voltage supply, the red function control lamp lights up (see figure 2, item 3), and
the transmitter issues three short signals in quick sequence.
If the power supply is not sufficient for correct transmitter operation anymore, a warning sound will occur at intervals of one second. In this case, stop operation
of your model as quickly as possible.
Insert new batteries for further operation of the transmitter.
Attention!
When the receiver electronics in the model have an integrated protection circuit to prevent unintended start-up of the drive motor, you also need to
make sure before any commissioning of the transmitter that the control lever for the motor function (see figure 2, item 10) is in the “Motor off”
position. For this purpose, the control stick must be pushed down completely or pulled towards you as far as possible.
In contrast to the control lever for the rudder and elevator function, which is kept in the centre position by spring force, the control lever for the motor
function will always stop in the last position set.
