Preparation ▋Using the transmitter and receiver. Receiver mounting location. ▋Please set up the antenna direction as shown The 2.4GHz band radio waves are very directional. The receiver signal is very dependant on the direction of the antenna. Since the antenna receives radio waves from the sides rather than from the tip, please appropriately position the receiver antenna when installing the receiver in the model.
Page 11
Preparation ▋2.4GHz Antenna Considerations 2.4GHz band radio waves have strong directionality so receiving sensitivity differs greatly depending on the direction of antenna orientation. The RG612BX receiver has integrated telemetry, and it therefore operates as a receiver and a transmitter at the same time. When installing the receiver in the fuselage, to avoid RF interference, please place the receiver away from the ESC, regulator, servos, fuel pumps, oil pumps, and gyro unit.
Preparation ▋Binding Procedure (pairing the transmitter and receiver) In order for the transmitter and receiver to communicate, it is essential to pair or bind them together. Please follow this procedure: ▋ EZ Bind system The included RG612BX receiver uses JR's new EZ bind system. The EZ Bind system is an unique system designed for convenience, and allows binding without using a bind plug.
