execute a complete simulated flight to rule out the
possibility of system faults or problems with the model's
programming. When doing this, be sure to follow the
notices provided on page 23.
Never operate the transmitter in Model mode,
i.e. for flying or driving, without an antenna. Be
sure the antenna is firmly attached.
Winged aircraft, helicopter, ship or car in Model mode
Warning:
Never fly over spectators or other pilots. Never
endanger humans or animals. Never fly in the
vicinity of high tension lines. Do not operate the
model in the vicinity of sluice locks or of public passenger
or goods transport ships. Do not operate a model on
public streets or highways, paths or plazas etc.
Warning:
Never switch off the transmitter
during Model mode!
Tow mode
Warning:
When operating models with towing capaci-
ty, ensure that the two receivers involved,
or their antennas, are at least 50 cm apart.
Use a satellite receiver if necessary. Otherwise return
channel interference cannot be ruled out.
Monitoring transmitter and receiver batteries
You must stop running the model to replace or
recharge the transmitter's battery no later than
when, as a result of the drop in battery voltage,
the red status LED flashes and an acoustic warning
sounds.
Check the status of batteries regularly, particularly the
receiver's battery. Do not wait for the movements of con-
trolled mechanisms to become noticeably slower. Replace
expended batteries before they cause problems.
Always follow the battery manufacturer's charging instruc-
tions are adhere exactly to charging times. Never leave
batteries unattended while charging.
Use your charger only in rooms equipped with a smoke
detector for protection.
Warning:
Never attempt to charge dry cell
(non-rechargeable) batteries (risk of
explosion).
All rechargeable batteries must be charged before every
use. To avoid short circuiting, first connect the charger
cable's banana plugs with correct polarity to the charger
and then plug the charger cables into the sockets for the
transmitter and receiver batteries.
Disconnect all batteries from the model when it is not to
be used for an extended period of time.
Never use defective batteries, damaged batteries or
different types of battery cells in combination. Do not use
combinations of old and new batteries or batteries from
different manufacturers.
Capacity and operating time
The rule that capacity is reduced with every successive
recharging applies to all batteries. Internal resistance
increases at low temperatures, further reducing capacity.
As a consequence, the battery's ability to supply current
and retain its voltage is reduced.
Frequent charging or the use of battery maintenance
programs can also result in gradual loss of battery
capacity. Battery capacity should therefore be checked
at regular intervals of not more than every six months
and the batteries replaced if performance is found to be
significantly deficient.
Purchase only genuine Graupner batteries!
Interference suppression for electric motors
With all conventional electric motors, sparks are
generated between the collector and brushes.
Depending on the type of motor involved, this
may interfere more or less with the functioning of the
remote control system.
The electric motors of a properly built system should
therefore include interference suppression. For electric
drive models it is particularly important that every one of
its motors is equipped with proper interference suppressi-
on. Interference filters largely suppress such disturbances
and should always be installed.
Follow the specific recommendations included in the
motor's operating and installation instructions.
For further details about interference filters, refer to
the Graupner RC main catalog or on the web at www.
