Range test
Always perform a range test before each operation. Have an
assistant to help with the range test. Range test instructions are
as follows:
1. Bind the receiver with the transmitter and insert into the
model. Switch on the transmitter first, then the receiver.
Servo movements can now be monitored.
2. Place the model on a flat surface (cement, mowed lawn
or level ground) with the receiver antennas at least 6 in (15
cm) above the ground. If necessary, place a support
underneath the model during the test. Hold the transmit-
ter at waist-level at a comfortable distance from your
body. Do not point the aerial directly at the model.
Turn or angle the aerial tip so it stands vertical during oper-
ation. In the "RF SET" menu, press OFF in the "RANGE
TEST" line. This switches the option ON and begins the
range test. The test will ramian active for 99 seconds,
after which it will automatically switch off. (Quit the range
test at any time by pressing ON in the "RANGE TEST" line
to switch this option OFF.)
3. Walk away from the model and turn the wheel to simulate
all servo movements and normal operations. If at any time
you detect an interruption in the link within a range of
about 164 ft (50 m), attempt to reastablish the link.
4. To check interference resistance, switch on an existing
motor. Move away from the model until it no longer
responds. Manually terminate the range test mode.
5. The model should now respond again. If not, do not use
the system and contact the Graupner Service Center.
6. Ground range for safe operation and handling should be
within 164 ft (50 m).
