Important; Range Checking - Multiplex HFMG2M-LINK Notice D'utilisation

DEAL POSITION OF THE TRANSMITTER
AERIAL WHEN USING THE SYSTEM
When installed, the 2.4 GHz transmitter aerial can be rotated
and set to any angle.
Before using the transmitter, the aerial should be angled approxi-
mately at right-angles at the swivel joint, then swivelled either to
left or right in the horizontal plane:
For applications where the model is not operated directly above
or below the transmitter, the optimum aerial orientation is verti-
cally upwards; this applies in particular to model cars and boats:

! Important:

Never point the aerial directly at the model. For physical reasons
the signal radiated from the aerial is at its weakest in an imagi-
nary line extending straight out from the aerial.
! Note:
Always remove the 35, 40, ... MHz transmitter aerial (telescopic
or short aerial) before operating the 2.4 GHz M-LINK system.

OPERATING MODE
Whenever you wish to operate your Graupner mc-19, mc-19s,
mc-22 or mc-22s transmitter with the 2.4 GHz M-LINK system it
is essential to select the PPM operating mode (not PCM!).
This applies to binding mode (
( 13.) as well as for normal operations (

INDING PROCEDURE
The transmitter and receiver using 2.4 GHz M-LINK technology
must be "bound" to each other once before the system can be
used. This procedure is known as "binding".
! Note:
You will find general information on the subject of binding, and
on fault-finding and correction relating to the binding procedure,
in the operating instructions supplied with your MULTIPLEX
M-LINK receiver.
The binding procedure in detail:
1. Place the transmitter and receiver aerial(s) immediately
adjacent to each other.
2. Switch ON the Graupner mc-19, mc-19s, mc-22 or mc-22s
transmitter with 2.4 GHz M-LINK technology in Binding
mode:
•
Hold the LED button on the transmitter pressed in.
•
Switch the transmitter ON.
•
Release the LED button as soon as the LED flashes at a
high rate.
3. Switch the M-LINK receiver ON in binding mode
(see the M-LINK receiver operating instructions):
=> The binding process is now in progress.
4. Once the transmitter and receiver have detected each other,
both units automatically switch over to regular transmit /
receive mode (Normal operations
=> The LED in the transmitter's LED-button flashes
approximately every two seconds.
! Note: the binding process usually only takes a few seconds.

ANGE CHECKING
Regular range checks are very important - even when using a
2.4 GHz system - in order to ensure reliable operation of the
radio control system, and to give you a chance to detect sources
of interference in good time. This applies in particular:
• Before the use of new or changed components, or existing
components in a new or modified arrangement.
• Before re-using radio control system components which were
previously involved in a crash or a hard landing.
• If you have encountered problems on a previous flight.
Important:
• Always ask a second person to help you with your range
check, so that one of you can secure and observe the model.
• The range check should only be carried out if there are no
other transmitters switched on at the same time.
Preparations, carrying out the range check:
1. Select "range check" mode on the Graupner mc-19, mc-19s,
mc-22 or mc-22s transmitter with 2.4 GHz M-LINK techno-
logy:
•
Switch the transmitter ON.
•
Within four seconds of switching the transmitter ON,
press and hold the LED push-button until the LED itself
glows continuously.
2. Switch the M-LINK receiver ON.
3. Carry out the range check as described in the operating
instructions supplied with your M-LINK receiver.
4. When you have completed the range check, switch OFF
the Graupner mc-19, mc-19s, mc-22 or mc-22s trans-
mitter with M-LINK technology, and then ON again, in
