PPLICATION
The RX-5 slim M-LINK is a radio control receiver intended
exclusively for use in model sport applications. It is prohibited to
use it for other applications, such as man-carrying vehicles or
industrial installations.
The RX-5 slim M-LINK was designed with minimum possible
size and weight as top priority, and for technical reasons such a
unit cannot offer the same reception characteristics as a larger,
technically more sophisticated and more expensive receiver. In
the interests of safety we recommend that you use a larger
receiver wherever space permits. Under normal conditions it is
certainly possible to obtain excellent reception characteristics
with a small receiver such as the RX-5 slim M-LINK provided
that all the RC system components are carefully arranged, and
the receiver aerial correctly deployed.

OWER UPPLY
The RX-5 slim M-LINK receiver works with a wide range of
voltages from 3.5 V ... 9.0 V, i.e. with receiver batteries con-
sisting of 4 to 6 NiXX cells or 2S LiPo / 2S LiIo batteries.
! Note: ensure that the power supply is adequate
A power supply system in good condition and of adequate
capacity for the specific application plays an indispensable role
in the safe operation of any model:

Use only high-quality receiver batteries of adequate capacity.
Balance and maintain them carefully, and charge them fully.

Ensure that all cables are of adequate conductor cross-
section. Keep all wiring as short as possible, and use the
absolute minimum of plug / socket connections.

Use high-quality switch harnesses exclusively.

Brief collapses in the power supply voltage (lasting a few
milli-seconds) have no adverse effect on the receiver. Longer
voltage collapses to below 3.5 V may cause a receiver reset,
resulting in a brief interruption in reception. This may be due
to a receiver battery which is almost flat, too weak or
defective, cables of inadequate cross-section, poor-quality
connectors or an overloaded or defective BEC system.

ECEIVER ONNECTIONS
This receiver employs the UNI connector system, which is com-
patible with the connector systems used by most radio control
manufacturers.
The receiver sockets are marked as follows:
! When connecting the receiver battery, servos, speed
controllers ... it is essential to ensure that the
connectors are plugged in correctly, and feature
compatible. Pin assignments: !
