Important!
The effective range of control refers to the distance between the transmitter and the receiver clear of
obstruction. All data was tested and verified by FrSky.
However this is not guaranteed due to many factors such as the flying environment and the weather, which
can greatly affect the effective range of control.
It is extremely important to range check your models prior to each flying session!
4. Setup and Operation process
4.1 Installation of the transmitting module:
a) Remove the original transmitting module.
b) Put the FrSky 2.4GHz transmitter module into the module port of your RC transmitter and screw on the
transmitting antenna.
c)
Turn the transmitter power on and check the RF power indicators on the module and transmitter are working.
4.2 Installation of receivers:
The V8FR receiver incorporates two separate antennas into its design which enables it to receive the radio
frequency transmission at two different locations. The tip of the antenna cable is the receiving portion (the thinner
part). If possible, please make sure that the two antennas are placed at 90 degrees to each other.
Please note:
This is not a critical figure, however, the most important thing is to keep the antennas away from each other as
much as possible. If possible place the antennas away from metal, wires or carbon parts of the airframe to avoid
signal lost. Tape or glue them in place so they cannot move around.
As the wave length of 2.4GHz is shorter than older RC systems, its ability to go around solid obstacles is
weaker than those with frequencies that are below the 100MHz. Therefore, when you locate the antennas you
must avoid objects as much as practical with high conductivity, such as; metal parts, servos, ESC's, battery packs,
wires, and carbon fiber structures. If possible put the tip of the antennas outside of the fuselage for maximum
reception.
