Each available frequency has been assigned a two-digit channel number, which you can locate at the back of this manual. There is a two-digit LED display on your Ken receiver with corresponding adjustment buttons.

  • Page 9: Safety

    Safety 2. Safety Transmitter and receiver - Do not operate two or more models on the same frequency at the same time. This will cause interference and loss of control of both models. AM, FM(PPM) and PCM are different methods of modulation. Nonetheless the same frequency cannot be used at the same point in time, regardless of the signal format.
