13. Range Check
Before the first start-up, you should charge the flight battery and any possibly inserted rechargeable batteries in the
transmitter according to the specifications of the manufacturer.
First carry out a range check of the remote control on the flying site. For this, switch on the transmitter first, then the
receiver. Press the “PDM” button (see fig. 2, item 8) at your transmitter for more than 3 seconds; the green LED goes
out. This decreases transmitter output.
Now check the range by having someone assist you by securely holding the model, and walk away from the model
slowly. Up to a distance of at least 15 m, all rudder functions should be controllable even with decreased transmitter
output. The decreased transmitter output will revert again automatically after 60 seconds. To end this mode earlier,
press the “PDM” button again.
Important!
Never start your flight while the transmitter output is still decreased. This may cause the model to crash.
14. Connecting Transmitter and Receiver
At delivery, your transmitter is already bound to your receiver. However, the receiver may not react to the transmitter
control signals. In this case, you need to bind the receiver to the transmitter again.
Proceed as follows:
• Place receiver and transmitter close together (no more than 1 meter distance).
• Keep the button at the receiver pressed for approx. two seconds.
• Release the button when the LED at the receiver flashes quickly.
• Keep the PDM button pressed and turn on the transmitter.
• Release the PDM button and press it again briefly.
• The LED at the receiver is lit permanently and signals that receiver and transmitter were successfully connected.
• After binding, check the system’s function and range.
