The servo reversing switches are assumed to be in the normal
position in the descriptions in this section. When the servo
switches are in the reverse position, operation is the opposite
of that described here.

(Ò Power switch
When
set in the direction of the 4 mark (upper position),
the switch
is turned on and the pointer of the level meter
deflects.
() Level meter
When the
power switch is set to ON, the level meter
pointer
should
deflect
to within
the silver zone.
If the
pointer stops near the boundary between the silver and red
zones, the battery is low, and the range of the radiowaves
will be short. When
the level meter pointer drops to the
boundary
between
the silver and red zones, change the
battery.
(2 Antenna
95cm antenna. It screws in vertically as shown in Fig. 8.

the holder and
screw in vertically.
(3 Battery cover
When
loading
(or changing)
the eight penlight
batteries,
remove this cover as shown in Fig. 2.
(@ Transmitter crystal
When changing the frequency, replace this crystal. Use the
AM crystal set (transmit and receive 1 pair) sold by Futaba.
The
transmitter
crystal
is marked
TX
and
the receiver
crystal
is marked
RX.
However,
you are not allowed to
change frequency
by merely replacing crystal on both 72
and 75MHz.
