! Note: after switching the transmitter OFF, wait a few
seconds before switching it back ON again!
! Caution: selecting "Range check" mode reduces the
transmitter's output power. The transmitter emits an
audible signal every ten seconds or so to warn you of
this.
Never attempt to fly a model with the transmitter set to
reduced output (range check mode)!

ORMAL OPERATIONS
This is the procedure for operating the Graupner mc-18, mc-20
or mc-24 transmitter with 2.4 GHz M-LINK technology in normal
transmit mode (normal operations):
1. Switch the transmitter ON:
=> The LED in the LED-button flashes once approximately
every two seconds.
2. Switch the M-LINK receiver ON.
The M-LINK system is now ready for use.
This is the procedure for switching OFF the 2.4 GHz M-LINK RC
system:
1. Switch the M-LINK receiver OFF.
2. Switch the transmitter OFF.

EEDBACK CHANNEL
The 2.4 GHz ISM band provides a means of transmitting data
from the model to the transmitter. If you are using a telemetry-
capable M-LINK receiver, your Graupner transmitter with 2.4 GHz
M-LINK technology warns you when the receiver battery voltage
falls to a low level via the RF module's integral buzzer.
For more information on this subject please refer to the opera-
ting instructions supplied with your telemetry-capable M-LINK
receiver.
If the MULTIPLEX Telemetry-Display (# 4 5182) is also used,
the screen shows the connection quality (LQI = Link Quality
Indication) as well as the voltage of the receiver power supply.
The Telemetry-Display can also show additional telemetry data.
Examples of this include current, voltage, altitude and speed
values - depending on the sensors connected to the system.
The Telemetry-Display is capable of displaying a maximum of
sixteen telemetry values.
Visual and audible warnings are generated by the Telemetry-
Display. The warning sounds are produced either through the
integral loudspeaker with volume control, or the earpiece, which
is an optional accessory. The same applies to the audible
sounds generated by the Vario sensor.

ESPONSE
In Fast Response mode, which operates at the ultra-rapid pulse
rate of 14 ms, up to twelve servo channels are available. This
reduced pulse rate can cause analogue servos to oscillate or run
jerkily.
If this is the case, or if you wish to use up to the maximum
sixteen servo channels, it is possible to switch Fast Response
mode OFF; in this case the servo frame rate reverts to 21 ms.
This is the procedure for switching Fast Response ON and OFF
with the following Graupner transmitter types: Graupner mc-18,
mc-20 and mc-24 with 2.4 GHz M-LINK technology:
1. Switch the RC system OFF, open the transmitter, and
disconnect the transmitter battery (

2. Locate the lower of the two switches (Fast Response) on the
2.4 GHz HFMG1 M-LINK RF module:
Move the "Fast Response" switch to the ON position (to
the right)
= Operating mode "Fast Response ON".
Move the "Fast Response" switch to the OFF position (to
the left)
= Operating mode "Fast Response Off".
Default setting
= Operating mode "Fast Response mode OFF".
! Caution: always use a small screwdriver to move the
switch; never use a pencil!
3. Connect the transmitter battery (

able), you must then repeat the binding procedure for the
transmitter and receiver (

PERATING THE
RF
MODULE WITH RESTRICTED FREQUENCY
RANGE
In particular countries the M-LINK system must not be used
without activating the reduced frequency range approved in that
region (
6.). For an overview of the countries concerned
please refer to the separate sheet entitled "Operating the 2.4
GHz M-LINK system with restricted frequency range".
This is the procedure for activating (or disabling) the restricted
frequency range:
1. Switch the RC system OFF, open the transmitter, and
disconnect the transmitter battery (
2. Locate the upper of the two switches (France) on the
2.4 GHz HFMG1 M-LINK RF module:
Move the "France" switch to the ON position (to the right)
= Operating mode "Restricted frequency range ON".
Move the "France" switch to the OFF position (to the left)
= Operating mode "Restricted frequency range OFF".
Default setting
= Operating mode "Restricted frequency range OFF".
! Caution: always use a small screwdriver to move the switch;
never use a pencil!
