When changing the frequency, change the crystal. Use
the AM crystal (transmitter and receiver pair) sold by
Futabe. The transmitter crystal is marked TX and the
receiver crystal is marked RX.
You can not change from one band to another (27
MHz to 75 MHz) simply by chansing crystals.

e Remove the battery cover at the bottom and insert eight
penlight batteries in the correct polarity.
Remove the cover
by pushing here and
sliding down.
Load the eight pen-
light batteries while
paying careful at-
tention to their-
polarity.
è Level meter
When the power switch is turned on, the meter pointer
should move to the silver zone. If the pointer ap-
proaches the boundary between the silver and red zones,
the battery voltage is low and the signal range will
become shorter. When the meter pointer stops at the
boundary between the silver and red zones, change the
batteries.
© Battery cover
When loading or changing the eight penlight batteries,
remove this cover as shown in the figure.
© The antenna
The antenna is 95 cm long. Install it as shown in the
figure.

The level meter pointer should deflect to the silver zone.
If the pointer does not move, or moves very little, check
for poor battery contact, incorrect battery polarity, or
faulty batteries.

and screw in.
- If the pointer of the level meter deflects to the red zone,
the range of the radio waves will become short. When
the pointer drops to the boundary between the silver
and red zones, change the batteries.

e The trim knobs are used to fine adjust the steering
angle. They are used to adjust the neutral position and
for correcting the running posture after the mechanism
is mounted. After test running, make corrections with
the rod adjuster, etc. and operate the set with the trim
knobs in the neutral position as much as possibile.
