Follow the steps below to properly set up your system.
a)
Turn your FUTABA OR JR transmitter on and switch it to PPM mode, power off the TX.

receiver will indicate the receiver is receiving commands from the transmitter. In a few seconds system is
ready to work (communication is established).
After the steps above are completed, both the transmitter and receiver are ready to be used. Binding is
required only to set up a new link (like new or additional receiver or transmitter module). Otherwise, just go to step
e.
To control multi-receivers, every receiver should be programmed with the transmitter in binding state (step b).
After all receivers are binded, turn off the transmitter.
4.4 Range check:
For safe operation, it is necessary to perform pre-flight range check.
Caution must be paid when flying the unit in the neighborhood of metal fences, concrete buildings, or rows of
trees. If doing so, you may experience unexpected interferences.
Perform a range check as follows (Note: this is done with the receiver installed in the model):
a)
Place the model at least two feet (60cm) above non-metal contaminated ground; for example a wooden
bench.
b)
Place the receiver's antenna horizontally. Don't let the antenna touch the ground.
c)
Place the antenna of the transmitter in a vertical position.
d)
Turn on the transmitter and receiver, then press and hold the "F/S Range" button of the transmitter for 4
second, the RED LED of the transmitter module will change into GREEN, this moment, the power of the
transmitter module will be reduced to ab. 1/10-th of the nominal value, thus effective distance will be
shortened to just above 60 meter.
e)
Walk away from the model while simultaneously operating the controls on the transmitter. Have an assistant
stand to confirm that all controls are completely and correctly operational. You should be able to walk ab. 60m
from the receiver without losing control.
f)
Press the "F/S Range" button again, the range check will be finished.
