9. Using the remote control
The numbers used in these instructions refer to the illustration alongside the text or the illustrations within
the respective section. Cross-references to other figures are indicated with the corresponding number.
a) Inserting batteries into transmitter
Four AA/mignon batteries are required to power the transmitter (we recommend high-quality alkaline batteries).
To insert the batteries, proceed as follows:
•
The battery compartment cover (9) is located underneath the transmitter. Press on the corrugated surface and slide
the cover out in the direction of the arrow.
•
Insert 4 batteries into the battery compartment, observing the correct polarity (see marks on the batteries and in the
battery compartment). Slide the battery compartment cover back until it clicks into place.
Instead of 4 AA/Mignon batteries, you can also use a two-cell LiPo rechargeable battery (rated voltage
7.4 V) for the voltage/power supply of the transmitter.
You will find a corresponding BEC connection in the battery compartment. Pay attention to the correct
polarity; it is indicated below the BEC connection.
b) Switching on the remote control
Fold up the antenna (1). Switch on the transmitter with the on/off switch (12) ("ON" = switched on).
Always switch on the transmitter before putting the receiver into operation and connecting it to the voltage/
power supply.
The transmitter will emit a beep, the display indication will appear and the display backlight will be enabled.
The display backlight will automatically go out in a few seconds if the knob or the "BACK" or "BIND" buttons
are not pressed.
If a voltage is lower than 4.40 V, the LED indicator (16) and the voltage value will flash on the display. In
addition, the transmitter will emit warning beeps and vibrate (similar to a smartphone). Stop operating the
model as soon as possible and replace the used batteries with new ones.
If the battery voltage drops further, a warning message will appear at the bottom of the display ("WARNING
- Low Battery"). If it appears on the display immediately after switching on the transmitter, the transmitter
will not work for safety reasons (menu functions and receiver controls will be disabled).
c) Turn off transmitter
Always disconnect the receiver from the voltage/power supply before switching off the transmitter.
Switch off the transmitter with the on/off switch (12) ("OFF" = switched off). When the transmitter is no longer needed,
you can fold the antenna (1) down, for example, to transport the transmitter.
