P
REREQUISITES
● R1 receiver
● X100 with powered F22 transmitter which is stored in the memory of the R1 receiver
If the X100 has landed/crashed somewhere in the field and you are not able to visually locate
it, you can track it down with the R1 receiver.
1 Hold down the On/off button for three seconds to switch on the R1 receiver.
2 Press the MENU/OK button to enter the menu.
3 Select the transmitter you want to track down with the Scan button. Press the MENU/OK
button to confirm.
4 Fold out the four antennas on the R1 receiver and place the R1 receiver on the palm of
your hand without touching the antennas.
5 Increase the gain as much as possible and scan with the R1 receiver held flat and turning
360° to pick up the first signal pulses.
● Make sure the internal antenna is selected.
● The range of the R1 receiver is wider if you track from an elevation.
● Always hold the R1 receiver in front of you so that the receiver can distinguish
incoming signals from the front and the back.

:
Each received signal pulse and its strength are shown on the transmitter
bar/received signal strength and indicated with an audible signal.
6 Scan the area to determine the direction with the highest signal strength. If the signal
strength is the same in all directions, reduce the gain with the Increase/decrease gain but-
tons until the received signal strength is half the transmitter bar and repeat the scan.
7 Follow the determined direction and repeat the scan to verify the followed direction.
N
OTE: When you experience difficulties finding the X100 following one direction, it may
help doing the scan from a different location and locating the cross-section between the
new and previously found direction.
