HE SYSTEM IN
The 35, 40, ... MHz RF module does not need to be removed
from the transmitter, i.e. it remains in place even when the
system is operated on 2.4 GHz. The switch on the flat face of
the 2.4 GHz RF module can be used to switch to and fro
between the different frequency bands (i.e. between the in-
ternally fitted 35 or 40, ... MHz RF section and the external
HFMx M-LINK 2.4 GHz RF module):
•
Switch position "... MHz": 35, 40, ... MHz operation
•
Switch position "2.4 GHz": 2.4 GHz M-LINK operation
Sequence when switching the RC system ON and OFF:
Even when using the 2.4 GHz band you should keep to the usual
sequence when switching the system ON and OFF:
•
First switch the transmitter ON,
then switch the receiver ON.
•
First switch the receiver OFF,
the switch the transmitter OFF.
The procedure for using the 2.4 GHz M-LINK system:
•
Switch the transmitter OFF.
•
Unscrew the 35, 40, ... MHz transmitter aerial
(telescopic or stub aerial).
•
Move the slide switch on the HFMx M-LINK 2.4 GHz RF
module to the "2.4 GHz" position.
•
Switch the transmitter ON.
2.4 GHz M-LINK transmission is active when the LED on the
HFMx M-LINK 2.4 GHz RF module flashes slowly and
regularly at two-second intervals.
•
Switch the M-LINK receiver ON.
The M-LINK system is now ready for use.
!
Note:
The 35, 40, ... MHz RF module is automatically switched off
when the transmitter is operating on 2.4 GHz.

The procedure for using the system on 35, 40, ... MHz:
•
Switch the transmitter OFF.
•
Install the 35, 40, ... MHz transmitter aerial
(telescopic or stub aerial).
•
Move the slide switch on the HFMx M-LINK 2.4 GHz
RF module to the "... MHz" position.
•
Switch the transmitter ON.
The transmitter broadcasts on the 35, 40, ... MHz band. The
LED on the HFMx M-LINK 2.4 GHz RF module stays OFF.
•
Switch the 35, 40, ... MHz receiver ON.
The 35, 40, ... MHz system is now ready for use.
!
Note:
The HFMx M-LINK 2.4 GHz RF module is switched off when
the transmitter is operating on 35, 40, ... MHz.
When the transmitter is used on 35, 40 ... MHz, the DIN plug
remains connected to the transmitter's Trainer socket. It only
needs to be disconnected if the Trainer socket is required for
some other purpose (charging the transmitter battery, use with a
flight simulator, Diagnosis activities, ...).
!
Caution:
•
Before you fly a model, carry out a range check to
ensure that the transmitter is operating on the cor-
rect frequency band!
•
Never change the frequency band when you are
operating a model!

WHEN SING THE
When installed, the 2.4 GHz transmitter aerial can be rotated to
either side and swivelled upwards.
Before using the transmitter, the aerial should be angled
approximately at right-angles at the swivel joint, then swivelled
either to left or right in the horizontal plane (see illustration):
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:
Remove the 35, 40, ... MHz transmitter aerial (telescopic or stub
aerial) before you operate the 2.4 GHz M-LINK system!
