General operating instructions

Method for Installation of Receiver
The receiver is to be installed with a foam rubber cushion to afford protection against jarring, in air-
craft models behind a strong rib and in a car or ship model in a place where it is protected against
dust and spray water. The receiver may not be mounted in direct contact with the hull or chassis as
this would allow motor vibrations and/or landing jolts to be transferred directly to the receiver. When a
receiver system is installed in a model with a combustion motor, all receiver parts should be installed
so as to prevent exhaust gases and oil residues from infiltrating. This especially applies to the ON/
OFF switch, which is usually built into the model's outside skin. Position the receiver such that con-
necting cables to the servos and the power supply are routed with a bit of slack
and that the receiver's antenna is at least 5 cm away from any large metal parts or wiring other than
those proceeding from the receiver. In addition to steel, this also applies to carbon fiber parts, servos,
electric motors, fuel pumps, any kind of cable and similar items. Optimally the receiver should be
placed at a readily accessible location that is well away from all other equipment. Under no circum-
stances may a servo cable be wrapped around the antenna or routed close to it.
Ensure that cables near the antenna cannot move about during flight.
