TROUBLESHOOTING

RANGE IS SHORT: Interference – check Rx installation and servo connections. Low Tx or Rx battery – replace the batteries or recharge if
applicable. Transmitter antenna not unfolded properly. Rx may need to be located to a different position in the model for better reception.
Crash damage – send the radio to Hobby Services for repair.
RUN TIME IS SHORT: Low Tx or Rx batteries – replace or recharge the batteries. Obstructed servo linkages causing excess battery drain – free
the linkages / pushrods.
Tx POWER SWITCH ON BUT SERVOS DO NOT FUNCTION: Tx or Rx batteries are low – replace or recharge the batteries. Tx RF output is set to
"OFF" – change to "ON". Rx switch is in the off position – turn on the ESC or switch harness. Switch harness or ESC is connected incorrectly –
check all connections and the ESC instruction manual. Rx is not linked to the Tx properly – perform binding process again. Check Tx or Rx
battery polarity.
INTERFERENCE OR SERVOS GLITCHING: Out of range – operate the model more closely to the transmitter. Outside radio interference from
other electronic devices in the area - check your local R/C club regarding local operation. Rx/antennas located too closely to engine, motor, or
servos or other moving mechanical parts which might be creating unwanted electrical noise – relocate the Rx inside the model or relocate the
ESC. Align both Rx antennas at 90 degree angles from each other if possible/applicable.
CONTROL SURFACE MOVES IN THE WRONG DIRECTION: Reverse the control direction of the channel in the radio's programming.
ONLY ONE SERVO GLITCHES: Servo is bad – replace the servo or send to Hobby Services for repair.
FAILSAFE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY: Receiver is not properly linked to the transmitter – bind the Rx to the Tx and re-try. Check the channels
which are programmed for transferring from Tx to Rx in the transmitter's programming. Contact Hobby Services for further details.
WIRELESS TRAINING FUNCTION NOT BINDING: Check to see that another Tactic 2.4GHz system is not on in your area. The teacher's and
student's transmitters were not powered in the proper sequence or are positioned too far from each other. Carefully follow the instructions on
page xx for proper binding and operation for training.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES WON'T ACCEPT CHARGE THROUGH THE TRANSMITTER: Check the charger for proper setup and operation. Make
sure the charge plug is inserted fully into the charge jack. Make sure the transmitter's power switch is in the OFF position. Make sure the cells
are inserted inside the battery compartment in the proper direction.
Contact Hobby Services for other problems.

SAFETY GUIDE

The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) has established a Membership Manual which includes a description of
the AMA's function and mission, insurance benefits, the Model Aircraft Safety Code, membership renewal
information, and more. Model flying MUST be done in accordance within AMA guidelines in order for AMA
liability protection to apply. See the website listed below, or contact the AMA for further details:
