3. Safety notes

!
These operating instructions are an integral
part of the product. They contain important in-
formation and safety notes, and should be kept
in a safe place at all times. If you ever dispose of
the system, be sure to pass them on to the new
owner.
!
Read the safety notes!
Read the instructions carefully!
Do not attempt to use the equipment until you
have read right through these operating in-
structions and the following safety notes (in-
cluded in the instructions and on separate
sheets).
!
It is not permissible to carry out modifications
of any kind to the radio control system compo-
nents. Be sure to use genuine accessories and
replacement parts
transmitter battery, crystals, aerials etc.).
!
If you wish to use the system in conjunction
with non-MULTIPLEX products, check carefully
that they are of good quality and work cor-
rectly. Every new or modified combination
must be tested carefully before use - including a
range check. Don't use the system if you sus-
pect there is a problem; seek out and cure the
fault first!
!
Warning!
Radio-controlled models are not playthings in
the normal sense of the term. Construction, in-
stalling the RC system and operation call for
technical knowledge, a careful approach and a
responsible, safety-conscious attitude. Defects
and neglect can result in serious damage and
injury. As manufacturers we have no influence
over the purchaser's methods of building and
operating his model, and as a result all we can
do is draw your attention to these hazards and
deny all liability.
!
Any model that is out of control - for whatever
reason - is capable of causing serious personal
injury and damage to property. It is therefore
fundamentally essential to take out suitable
third-party insurance to cover your modelling
activities.
!
Always keep to the proper sequence when
switching the system on and off, or there is a
danger that the motor will burst into life unex-
pectedly:
1. when switching on:
first transmitter ON,
then receiver ON
connect flight battery or motor ON
2. when switching off:
first disconnect flight battery or motor OFF
receiver OFF
transmitter OFF

Have your RC equipment - especially the trans-
mitter and receiver - checked by an authorised
MULTIPLEX Service Centre at regular intervals
(every two or years.
exclusively (especially
!
Do not operate the transmitter in temperatures
outside the permitted limits (
mind that rapid temperature fluctuations (e.g.
warm car to cold flying site) can cause conden-
sation to form in the transmitter. Damp has an
adverse effect on the function of the transmit-
ter and any other electronic device.
If damp should get into any electronic unit,
cease operations immediately and disconnect
the power supply. Open the case if possible and
allow it to dry out completely (this may take
several days). Follow up with a thorough test of
all functions. If a problem persists, ask an
authorised MULTIPLEX Service Centre to check
the unit for you.

The radio control system may only be operated
legally on particular channels (frequencies),
which vary from country to country. In some
cases official formalities have to be completed
before you can use the system. Please read the
enclosed notes!

General Safety Notes

Build your model carefully
Install and set up the mechanical linkages so that the
control surfaces are free-moving, and do not jam at
either end-point. Do not limit servo travels at the
transmitter; it is always better to adjust the pushrod,
horn etc. to obtain the correct travel. Take care to
keep slop (lost motion) to an absolute minimum.
By keeping to the above points you minimise the
strain on the servos, exploit their power to the full,
obtain their maximum useful life and the widest pos-
sible margin of safety.
Provide effective protection to the receiver, battery,
servos and other RC and electronic components from
vibration (danger of electronic component failure).
Heed the information in the operating instructions
supplied with each unit. Naturally the avoidance of
vibration is very important: balance all propellers and
rotors carefully before use, replace them when dam-
aged, install internal-combustion motors on vibra-
tion-absorbing mounts, and replace any rotating item
which does not run absolutely true.
Be careful not to kink cables or place them under
strain; protect them from rotating parts.
Avoid unnecessarily long or superfluous servo exten-
sion leads. Leads longer than about 30 - 50 cm must
be fitted with separation filters (ferrite rings). Long
leads must have conductors of adequate cross-
section (to minimise voltage loss). A good starting

point is 0.3 mm .
