  • Page 6 Digital proportional radio control system Be sure to set the Fail Safe function. Do not operate outdoors on rainy days, run through puddles of water or use when visibility is limited. Should any type of moisture (water or snow) enter any component of the system, erratic operation and loss of control may occur.
  • Page 7 Fail safe function: Before running (cruising), check the fail safe function: Check Method; Before starting the engine, check the fail safe function as follows: (1) Turn on the transmitter and receiver power switches. (2) Wait at least 30 seconds, then turn off the transmitter. (The transmitter automatically transfers the fail safe data to the receiver every 5 seconds.) (3) Check if the fail safe function moves the servos to the preset position when reception fails.
  • Page 8 Digital proportional radio control system 2.4GHz System Specifications Misuse of this radio system can lead to serious injuries or death. Please read completely this manual and only operate your radio system according to it. The 2.4 GHz radio band has a completely different behavior than previously used lower frequency bands.
  • Page 9 System characteristics This radio system works in the frequency range of 2.4055 to 2.475GHz. This band has been divided into 1420independent channels. Each radio system uses 16 different channels and 160 different types of hopping algorithm. By using various switch-on times, hopping scheme and channel frequencies, the system can guarantee a jamming free radio transmission.
