    uSAgE PrECAuTiONS 2.4gHz FrEquENCy BANd PrECAuTiONS, CONTiNuEd..If the 2.4GHz frequency band is saturated (too many transmitters on at once), as a safety precaution, the radio control system may not bind. This ensures that your radio control system does not get hit by interference. Once the frequencies have been cleared, or the saturation level has dropped, your radio control system should be able to bind without any problems.

    Unlike ordinary crystal-based systems, your model can be used without frequency control. OPTiONAL iTEmS The following optional items (available separately) can be used with your MX-Sport 2.4GHz FHSS-2 radio control system.
