Installing the Polycarbonate Receiver Case (Optional)
1. Loosen the screws in the receiver case and remove the top.
2. Carefully remove the receiver board from the hard plastic case and
remove the protective film from the double-sided tape on the bottom of
the receiver.
Install the receiver board in the polycarbonate case by first inserting
antenna A into the cut out and antenna B into the cut out. Do not
allow the antennas to cross inside the case.
3. Press the case against the double-sided foam tape to secure the
receiver board.
4. Fold the case in the order shown and secure with double sided tape.
Feeder Antennas
The AR6260 incorporates two 7-inch feeder antennas, which are designed to be
easily mounted through the fuselage in carbon airplanes. Each feeder antenna
includes a coaxial portion (which can be thought of as an extension) and an
exposed 31mm tip antenna. The last 31mm is the active portion of the antenna.

Red LED Hold Indicator
The AR6260 features a red LED (labeled with H on the Polycarbonate Case) that
indicates the number of holds that have occurred since the receiver was last
powered on. The LED will flash the number of holds, then pause (e.g., flash, flash,
flash, pause, flash, flash, flash, pause indicates three holds occurred since the
receiver was last turned on). Note that holds are reset to zero when the receiver
is turned off. During the first flights of a new airplane, it’s recommended to check
the red LED hold indicator. If it’s flashing, it’s important to optimize the installation
(move or reposition antennas) until no hold occurs. On later flights, the LED Hold
Indicator can be used to confirm RF link performance.
Receiver Installation
Airplanes with significant carbon fiber construction can create an RF shielding
effect, reducing range. The AR6260 is designed to overcome these critical RF
issues in carbon airplanes by outfitting the aircraft with two external antennas at
specific points that will ensure secure RF coverage from all angles of the aircraft.
