It is extremely important to range check your models prior to each ying session. This enables you to ensure
that everything is functioning as it should and to obtain maximum enjoyment from your time ying. The FX-36
transmitter incorporates a system that reduces its power output and allows you to perform such a range check.
1. While pushing "U/M" button.
U/M
Press and
2. THR Stick Slow.
4. Select "Range check" at the System menu.
5. "Start" tap.
6. The H/E button is pressed to end a range
check.
WARNING
Do not fly in the range check mode.
*Since the range of the radio waves is short, if the
model is too far from the transmitter, control will
be lost and the model will crash.
3. FX-36 Power ON.
During this mode, the RF power output is reduced
so the range test can be performed. In addition, when
this mode is activated the right LED on the front of the
transmitter starts blinking and the transmitter gives users
a warning with a beeping sound.
The "Range check mode" continues for 90 seconds
and after that the power will return to the normal level.
To exit the "Range check mode" before the 90 seconds,
press the "H/E" button. NEVER start flying when the
"Range check mode" is active.
Should you require additional time to perform a range
check, highlight Restart before your time expires and tap
the screen one time.
1. With the "Range check mode" on, walk
away from the model while simultaneously
operating the controls. Have an assistant
stand by the model to confirm that all
controls are completely and correctly
operational. You should be able to walk
approximately 30-50 paces from the model
without losing control.
2. If everything operates correctly, return to
the model. Set the transmitter in a safe, yet
accessible, location so it will be within reach
after starting the engine or motor. Be certain
the throttle stick is in the low throttle position,
then start the engine or motor. Perform
another range check with your assistant
holding the aircraft with the engine running
at various speeds. If the servos jitter or move
inadvertently, there may be a problem. We
would strongly suggest you do not y until the
source of the dif culty has been determined.
Look for loose servo connections or binding
pushrods. Also, be certain that the battery
has been fully charged.
