Range Checking - Multiplex HFM3 M-LINK Notice D'utilisation

7.6.: Fit the 2.4 GHz aerial unit
1. Screw the 2.4 GHz aerial to the threaded aerial base:
Hold the aerial by the knurled section.
Check that the resultant screwed joint is firm, to ensure
that the aerial cannot possibly come loose in use, e.g.
when swivelled in the installed state.
! Note: avoid using excessive force, and keep the parts
correctly aligned when screwing them together.
7.7.: Close the transmitter case
1. Carefully offer up the back panel to the transmitter, inserting
the retaining lugs at the bottom edge, and ensure that both
lugs engage properly.
2. Carefully close the transmitter back panel:
Ensure that no cables are trapped or jammed. It should be
possible to fold the case back into position without requiring
force:

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 illustrations):

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.

To operate the PROFImc using the M-LINK 2.4 GHz system the
transmitter must always be set to PPM mode (not PCM!).
This applies not only to normal operations (

INDING ROCEDURE
The transmitter and receiver must be "introduced" to each other
once; this process 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 the PROFImc transmitter with M-LINK technology ON
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 starts to
flash rapidly.
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 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 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.
