illustration on the previous page) and the receiver should be mounted as high as possible in your model.
• The receiver can be mounted inside a receiver box, however, when mounting inside a receiver box, the antenna position
will be lower and the reception distance may be shorter.
• The receiver should be mounted securely to your model using a piece of double-sided foam tape to help minimize vibration.
It's okay to wrap the receiver in protective foam rubber, if desired. Doing so will not affect the reception distance.
• Dototheinternalantennaposition,this receiver is not suitable for use in an R/C boat. It should be used in R/C cars and
trucks only.
