To allow safe use, be certain to observe the following points

Basic precautions for safe operation

(1) The 2.4GHz band is not a frequency exclusively for use with RC
aircraft. The band is part of the IMS (industry, science, and medical
care)frequency allocation, which is widely used for short-distance
transmissions such as microwave ovens, wireless LAN, digital
cordless phones, gaming devices, etc. Because of signal congestion,
the response of any 2.4GHz system may be reduced in urban areas.
In the event of any interference, immediately cease operation and
attempt to identify the interference source.
(2) At race tracks and airfields minimize the use of devices that
operate on the 2.4GHz band. Be sure to perform an adequate range
check before commencing operation.
(3) Always maintain line of sight with the aircraft as 2.4GHz signals
may be blocked by buildings, trees, etc. Always fly the aircraft
where it can be visually observed.
In order to prevent injury to the operator or third parties
(or damage to property), please observe the following
DANGER!

We recommend you add an optional remote antenna when you use this receiver in
very demanding environments. For example, where the model is constructed from
materials which shield RF (such as carbon fiber).
Note: After adding a remote antenna you must re-bind to ensure correct functionality.
WARNING!
Not following this advice may result in death or
serious injury to the user or third parties.
■Do not use this receiver in combination with other manufac-
turers products such as servos, gyros etc. ■Never allow the
receiver to receive a strong impact as the electronic compo-
nents in the receiver are susceptible to damage. ■If degraded
servo movement is detected, stop operating immediately.
■Identify the source of the problem before further operation
(check battery voltage, etc). ■Do not use the product in the
following locations, as there will be a risk of an out-of-control
condition or accident: • Where interference exists. • Where there
is traffic passing nearby. • Near high-tension electric lines,
buildings, or in mountainous areas, etc. • Near houses or people.
• Near radio or TV transmitters ■If the receiver becomes
submerged in water, it may appear to operate normally after
being fully dried. How ever, it may malfunction at a later time.
Do not continue to use the product.
CAUTION!
Not following this advice may cause injury to the
user or third party (or cause damage to property).
Before use, check the following:
■Is there enough battery voltage for both the transmitter and
receiver? ■Is there any fuel spillage on the receiver, servos,
etc. that was caused by leakage from the fuel tank? Is there
enough fuel? ■Check that no linkage interferes with the
aircraft body. Conduct a vibration test by restraining the model
and setting the engine (or motor) to full power whilst keeping
your hands well clear of the propeller. Check that each control
surface moves correctly. For the initial flights of a new model
always fly in a safe place, avoid flying at great distance, and
keep the model close to the landing area for several minutes
until you are fully confident that the receiver is operating
correctly. ■If you have further questions, please contact your
local dealer or JR distributor in your country.

Installation of the receiver antennas

The antenna tip should always be mounted in a straight
position. The antenna tip should never be bent or cut. Be
sure to position the antenna as far from carbon materials
or metal pieces as practical. Please note that carbon,
metal, battery, fuel tank, etc, may block RF signals.
Therefore, it is recommended to place the antenna at least
10mm away from these shielding materials.
If the fuselage is made of material which shields RF, be
sure to position the antenna

XBUS SYSTEM
XBus system using the JR PROPO's own serial bus data instead of PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) to communicate with
XBus products such as servos. Control signals are sent in a serial manner to all channels, with individual servos
recognizing their own data from receiver. It is required to use XBus capable system in order to perform Serial data
transmission. XBus servos or converters must be also programmed by transmitter or by programmer to allocate
certain channels to be used. Otherwise it will not operate correctly. By using PWM Converter or hub, it is capable to
customize your optimum receiver system. On below Wiring example 2, showing of using power hub to utilize multiple
battery. Note that Transmitter's XBus Mode must be set as "A"

BINDING

To communicate with a transmitter, binding (pairing) must
be carried out. Here, the setup method for binding will be
described. This product uses the EZ bind system.
1
Refer to your transmitter manual to set the transmitter to
bind mode, and then connect the battery to the receiver.
The receiver's LED will start flashing, and the bind
process will begin.
2
When the bind LED of the receiver changes from flashing
to steady lit, the bind process
is complete.
Bind LED Lighting/Flashing (Blue)
*If the bind LED doed not lit, repeat
the procedure from the beginning.
*If you use an optional remote antenna, please be sure that the
remote antenna is connected during the bind process, and confirm
that the remote antenna's LED will also change from flashing to
steady lit. *After completing a binding operation of the transmitter
and receiver, turning on the receiver first will lead it to Binding
Standby Condition in [three seconds]. The Binding Standby Condition
will last for [five seconds].
Make sure to turn on the [transmitter] first after completion of the binding
W hile your receiver is on Binding Standby Condition based on the
EZ BIND function, if another transmitter located nearby starts a
binding operation, binding information of your receiver could be
overwritten. to avoid such a significant risk, make sure to turn on
your transmission first.
In the situation where binding is unsuccessful, confirm the following
・ Is the remaining battery power of the transmitter and receiver
adequate? ・ Is the distance between the transmitter and
receiver too close? ・ When the procedure is carried out on the
top of a desk or bench that is made from metal, binding may not
be successful.
