Always use the accessory sensor tape to install the sensor to the fuselage.
This is necessary to securely fasten the sensor to the fuselage so that
operation of the gyro does not transmit unwanted fuselage vibrations directly
to the sensor.
When mounting the sensor, provide a little surplus so that the sensor
connection cables are not too taut.
If the sensor cables are too taut, the gyro will not display its full perfor-
mance. If the sensor peels, control will be lost and result in a dangerous
situation.
Mount the sensor and control amp so that metals or other conductive
objects do not touch these cases.
The GY601 uses a conductive resin case to reduce electromagnetic interfer-
ence. Because the surface of the case is conductive, metal objects may cause
a short circuit.
Mount the sensor and servo at least 2cm apart.
When using a GV-1 governor, mount the sensor and GV-1 amp at least
5cm apart.
When using the GY601 with a motor-driven helicopter, mount the
sensor and drive motor at least 10cm apart.
Noise from the servo motor, GV-1 amp and drive motor may cause the
performance of an erroneously operated gyro to drop.
Precautions When Turning on the Power Switch
During initialization, the message "-Hello-" appears on the GY601 LCD
screen.
Do not move the helicopter until this message disappears (in about 3
seconds).
Also, do not move the transmitter rudder stick from the neutral position
during this period.
Always check the direction of operation of the servos.
If you attempt to fly the model when a servo operates in the wrong direction,
the fuselage will spin in a fixed direction and enter an extremely dangerous
state.
