ANGE HECKING
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 enable you 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.
If possible, carry out the range check when no other trans-
mitters are operating.
Carrying out the range check:
1. Select "range-check mode" on your transmitter (see the
operating instructions supplied with the transmitter or RF
module).
There must be visual contact between the transmitter and
receiver aerials (i.e. the model) during the range check.
Keep the transmitter and the model about one metre above
ground during the range check.
2. When checked with reduced transmitter power, the range of the
RX-7/9/12-DR compact M-LINK receiver must be 100 metres.
You have reached the range limit when the servos start to move
jerkily.
If your transmitter features an automatic servo test facility,
we recommend that you activate it for one control function
(e.g. rudder). This sets up a steady movement of the servo,
and enables you to detect the limit of range clearly.
Important:
Carry out the first range check with the motor switched off.
Turn the model into all attitudes, and attempt to optimise
reception by changing the position of the two aerials.
For the second range check, run the motor at varying speeds
and check that the effective range is not significantly reduced.
If there is a marked reduction, locate and eliminate the cause
of the interference (caused by the motor, the arrangement of
the receiving system and power supply, vibration, etc.).

XCHANGING THE
The aerial feed wires fitted as standard to the RX-7/9/12-DR
compact M-LINK receiver types are of adequate length for most
applications.
If you require longer or shorter aerial feed cables, please contact
the MULTIPLEX Service Department or any MULTIPLEX Ser-
vice Centre, as they stock cables of different lengths, and will
gladly quote an individual price for modifying your receiver to
professional standards.
! Caution: never attempt to exchange the aerials yourself!
Changing the aerials to a professional standard requires
special tools as well as appropriate expertise. Ignoring this
warning may have an adverse effect on the receiver's
reception quality.
! Caution: if the active part of the aerial (the final 30 mm)
should be damaged, the aerial must be replaced by the
MULTIPLEX Service Department or a MULTIPLEX Service
Centre; the same applies to damaged aerial feed cables.
