2.4GHz 4-Channel Spread Spectrum Radio
The Tactic TTX404 airplane radio system uses an advanced 2.4GHz spread
spectrum technology to prevent unwanted outside interference from interrupting
control of the model, ensuring error-free fl ying and eliminating the need to pull
frequency pins before every fl ight. Tactic 2.4GHz transmitters and receivers are not
compatible with other brands of 2.4GHz equipment.
For safe operation and best results, it's strongly recommended to
read this manual in its entirety before use! Also read and understand
the instructions included with the model. Damage resulting from
misuse or modifi cation will void your warranty.
