• Ifyou'reusinganalogservos,DONOTuseSHRorSSRServoModesforthatchannel,otherwisetheservosand/orreceivercanbedamaged.
• DonotpluganydeviceotherthatanSSLcompatibledeviceoraswitchharnessw/receiverbatteryintotheBATT/SSLport.
• Theantennaconsistsofacoaxialcableandareceptionwire(thethintipattheendofthecoaxialcable).Whenyou
mounttheantenna,donotbendthereceptionwire.Receptionperformancedecreasesifthereceptionwireisbent.The
coaxialcablecanbebentintogentlecurves,however,donotbendthecoaxialcableacutely,orrepeatedlybendit,or
theantennacorecanbedamaged.
• Theantennashouldbeinstalledintoaverticalplastictubeperyourparticularmodel'sassemblyinstructions.Seediagram.
Keeptheantennaasfarawayfromthemotor,batteryandESCaspossible.Theantennashouldnotcomeintocontact
withanycarbonormetalchassiscomponents.
• Thereceiverissusceptibletovibration,shockandmoisture.Takeappropriatemeasurestoprotectagainstvibrationand
moisture.Wesuggestwrappingthereceiverinshock-absorbingfoamwheninstallingitintoyourmodel.
• Theantennaisdelicate,therefore,handleitwithcare.Donotpullontheantennawithforce.Donotcutthecoaxialcableortheantennareception
wire.Donotalterthelengthofeitherthecoaxialcableortheantennareceptionwire.
• Thereisadangerofrunawayoperationifconnectorsloosenduringuse.Makesurethatallconnectorsaresecurelyfitted.

• Thisreceiveroperatesonthe2.4GHzfrequencyband.The2.4GHzconnectionisdeterminedbythetransmitterandreceiver pair. Unlike
ordinarycrystal-basedsystems,yourmodelcanbeusedwithoutfrequencycontrol.
• Duetodifferencesintheimplementationof2.4GHztechnologyamongdifferentmanufacturers,thisreceiverisnotcompatiblewithanyother
transmitterbrands.
• The2.4GHzfrequencybandmaybeusedbyotherdevices,orotherdevicesintheimmediateareamaycauseinterferenceonthesame
frequencyband.Alwaysbeforeuse,conductabenchtesttoensurethattheservosoperateproperly.Also,conductcheckswiththetransmitter
asdistantaspossiblefromyourmodel.
• Theresponsespeedofthereceivercanbeaffectedifusedwheremultiple2.4GHztransmittersarebeingused,therefore,carefullycheckthe
areabeforeuse.Also,ifresponseseemsslowduringuse,stopyourmodelimmediatelyanddiscontinueuse.
• Ifthe2.4GHzfrequencybandissaturated(toomanytransmittersonatonce),asasafetyprecaution,thetransmitterandreceivermaynotbind.
Thisensuresthatyourradiocontrolsystemdoesnotgethitbyinterference.Oncethefrequencieshavebeencleared,orthesaturationlevel
hasdropped,yourtransmitterandreceivershouldbeabletobindwithoutanyproblems.
• Wesuggestbindingthetransmitterandreceiverandmakingallreceiverconnectionstocheckforcorrectoperationpriortomountingthe
receiverinyourmodel.Seethe BindingtheTransmitterandReceiver sectiononthereverseside.
