Installation of receiver and antenna
After the function control and the mounting of the servos, the receiver, the ON/OFF switch, the battery holder and
the antenna can be permanently installed in the receiver box on the chassis.
•
Unscrew the cover with the marking of the switch position from the ON/OFF switch.
•
Guide the ON/OFF switch from the inside through the opening in the cover of the receiver box.
•
Put the cover back, from the outside, over the switch and fasten the cover through the lid with
•
the switch.
•
Make sure that the marking of the cover "ON" or "OFF" of the switch position corresponds with the actual switch
position, meaning that the power supply is turned on at "ON" and off at "OFF".
•
Connect the connectors of the switch cable with the battery holder and the receiver.
•
Insert 4 batteries or rechargeable batteries type Mignon/AA in the battery/rechargeable battery box and place it
horizontally at the back of the receiver box.
•
Connect the servos with the receiver.
•
When laying the cables make sure that they are as taut as possible and that they can't get into contact with
rotating parts. To fix the cables use cable binders. Tuck excess lengths into receiver box.
•
Place the receiver upright onto its narrow side; it fits in the front of the receiver box.
•
Guide the antenna wire of the receiver from the inside through the boring in the lid of the box and afterwards
through the antenna guide tube.
•
Insert the antenna guide tube into the holder on the outside of the lid and secure the antenna wire onto the
guidance tube by wrapping adhesive tape around it or by pulling a piece of stocking tube
•
over it.
•
Make sure that the lid for changing the rechargeable batteries can still be opened easily after fixing the antenna
wires (don't pull wire out too far). Never shorten the antenna cable of the receiver, try not to bind it together!
This reduces the range.
f) Starting the RC Installation
Take note of the separate operating manual of the Remote control!
The operation of the transmitter is also possible with rechargeable batteries instead of batteries.
However, the low voltage (batteries=1.5 V, rechargeable batteries=1. V) and the lower capacity of rechargeable batteries do lead to a decrease of the
operating time. When using rechargeable batteries there can be a decrease in range.
If you use batteries in the remote control, we recommend the use of high-quality alkaline batteries.
If batteries are used for the power supply of the transmitter, make sure that there is a sufficient rest capacity (battery checker). If the batteries are empty,
always replace the complete set (never individual cells!).Always replace the entire set of batteries in the remote control transmitter. Use only the batteries /
rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
•
Remove lid of battery compartment on the lower side of the transmitter.
•
Insert 8 AA (rechargeable) batteries in the compartment, observe the correct polarity!
•
Close the lid again
•
Open RC-box on the chassis and remove the battery support of the RC-box.
•
Place 4 AA batteries (rechargeable batteries) in the support.
•
Observe correct polarity and tightness.
•
Place the battery support with the cables and the plug in the RC-box again.
•
Carefully connect both red plugs.
•
Rremove the receiver
•
Unwind the wire of the antenna
•
Guide the antenna wire through the opening in the cover of the RC box outwards.
•
Guide the antenna of the receiver through the antenna guiding tube
•
Stick the lower end of the antenna guiding tube into the recess on the cover of the RC box.
•
Fasten the antenna wire on the top at the guidance tube, by wrapping adhesive tape around it or by placing a rubber cap.
•
Do not shorten the antenna!
•
Switch the transmitter on.
•
The Control LED of the transmitter should light up.
If the LED does not light up, check batteries /rechargeable batteries and replace them, if necessary.
•
Switch on the receiver.
•
The servos must turn in neutral position.
Always switch ON the transmitter first then the receiver.
First switch OFF the receiver, then the transmitter.
