TROUBLESHOOTING
RANGE IS SHORT
Interference – check Rx installation and servo connections. Low Tx or Rx battery
– replace the batteries or recharge if applicable. Rx may need to be located to a
different position in the model for better reception. Crash damage – send the radio
to Hobby Services for repair.
RUN TIME IS SHORT
Low Tx or Rx batteries – replace or recharge the batteries. Obstructed servo
linkages causing excess battery drain – free the linkages / pushrods.
Tx POWER SWITCH ON BUT SERVOS DO NOT FUNCTION
Tx or Rx batteries are low – replace or recharge the batteries. Rx switch is in
the off position – turn on the ESC or switch harness. Switch harness or ESC is
connected incorrectly – check all connections and the ESC instruction manual.
Rx is not binded to the Tx properly – perform binding process again. Check Tx
or Rx battery polarity.
INTERFERENCE OR SERVOS GLITCHING
Out of range – operate the model more closely to the transmitter. Outside radio
interference from pagers, strong industrial or other commercial transmitters in the
area - check your local R/C club regarding local operation. Rx located too closely to
engine, motor, or servos or other moving mechanical parts which might be creating
unwanted electrical noise – relocate the Rx inside the model or relocate the ESC.
CONTROL SURFACE MOVES IN THE WRONG DIRECTION
Reverse the position of the reversing switch for the appropriate channel.
ONLY ONE SERVO GLITCHES
Servo is bad – replace the servo or send to Hobby Services for repair.
FAILSAFE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY
Receiver is not properly binded to the transmitter – bind the Rx to the Tx and re-
try. Contact Hobby Services for further details.
WIRELESS TRAINING FUNCTION NOT BINDING
Check to see that another Tactic 2.4GHz system is not on in your area. The teacher’s
and student’s transmitters were not powered in the proper sequence. Carefully
follow the instructions on page 3 for proper binding and operation for training.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES WON’T ACCEPT CHARGE THROUGH THE
TRANSMITTER
Check the charger for proper setup and operation. Make sure the charge plug is
inserted fully into the charge jack. Make sure the transmitter’s power switch is in
the OFF position. Make sure the cells are inserted inside the battery compartment
in the proper direction.
