UICK

1. Unpack the transmitter and receiver
16
Store the documents safely.
17
2. Insert the batteries
17
It is essential to maintain cor-
17
rect polarity (see adjacent illus-
tration). Reversed polarity may
18
ruin the transmitter and / or the
20
cells.
3. Binding
20
• Preparing the model
20
When binding is complete, the receiving system
21
immediately starts operating. Secure the model
21
carefully so that no damage can result if the propel-
21
ler should start turning.
21
• Prepare the transmitter
21
Hold the multi-function
22
button pressed in and
22
switch the transmitter on,
22
then release the button
22
again. The LED flashes
23
at a high rate.
23
• Prepare the receiver
Switch the receiver on
23
with the SET button held
24
pressed in; the receiver
24
LED now flashes at a
24
high rate.
24
24
If binding is successful, both LEDs revert to a slow
24
flashing rate.
26
4. Check the directions of servo rotation
26
• Model with ID receiver
The transmitter emits an audible signal when it de-
26
tects the receiver. No further adjustments are re-
26
quired.
27
• Model with normal M-Link receiver (light or teleme-
27
try)
27
All the control surfaces (servos) must respond to
the sticks in the correct direction; check and re-
27
verse the servos if necessary: move the correct
27 stick to one end-point and hold the multi-function
button pressed in for
27
three seconds: the ser-
vo now reverses, and
27
moves to the opposite
28
end-point.
28
5. Carry out a range check
It is important to check radio
range before the first flight:
hold the multi-function but-
ton pressed in for two sec-
onds
switching on, and the LED
glows constantly. The transmitter now generates great-
ly reduced power, and emits an audible warning signal.
