PWM is an acronym that stands for Pulse Width Modulaon. PWM is how tradional receivers send a signal to the servo to command the servo
move to a parcular posion. In short, PWM in regards to the Cessna requires the use of male to male servo extensions to connect each channel
from your receiver, to each port in the Aura. Due to the aps and the ight modes in the Aura, a minimum of a 6-channel receiver and transmier is
required to maximize the funconality of the Cessna 170. A 7+ channel receiver and transmier is recommended.
Depending on your parcular radio and PWM setup, some addional items to purchase are required:

Aura Polarity
NOTICE
VERIFY PROPER POLARITY OF ALL CABLE CONNECTIONS PRIOR TO ADDING POWER TO THE SYSTEM
IMPORTANT
All four PWM male-to-male connecons must be connected AND connected in the proper polarity for the
Aura to acvate servo outputs. (Aileron-S1, Elevator-S2, Rudder-S3, Gear/Ch.5-S4)

Bind your receiver to your transmier by following the instrucons included with your radio and/or receiver. Verify it is bound by connecng a
spare servo to your receiver, and that it responds to transmier inputs.
With the transmier and receiver powered OFF, connect your receiver to the Aura using the diagram below. Note the throle AND both aps are
plugged directly into the receiver. Important: all four (4) PWM male-to-male leads must be properly connected for the Aura to acvate servo
outputs!
With the propeller removed and ALL connecons made between the Aura and the receiver (and in the proper polarity), power on your
transmier, and power on the airplane with the ight baery, and keep the airplane staonary. Aer a few seconds, the LEDs on the Aura will
sweep back and forth as the Aura searches for a valid control signal. Once found, you will see a solid orange (Aura running) and solid green (Aura
is receiving a valid signal from the receiver) LED. Aer the source is found, apply transmier right rudder to assist Aura in determining your
radio type, then you will have control of the model.
