• Once the battery is connected or the
motor is running, always maintain a
safe distance from the hazard area
posed by the propulsion system!
• Disconnect the fuel supply or drive
battery beforehand programming the
transmitter to prevent an accidental
motor start.
Notices
• Protect all equipment from dust, dirt, mois-
ture, vibration and excessive heat or cold. The
models may only be operated remotely in nor-
mal outside temperatures ranging from 14° to
130°F (-10°C to 55°C).
• To avoid electrical shock, check the model
regularly for damages to the housings and
cables, especially after a crash. Discontinue
using any electronic components that have
become wet; short-circuiting and shock risk
is still prevalent even after components have
dried.
• Only use Graupner approved and recom-
mended components and accessories. Al-
ways use matching, original plug-in connec-
tions of the same design and material.
• Make sure routed cables are not under ten-
sion, excessively kinked or broken. Sharp
edges can damage the insulation.
• Make sure that all of the plug-in connections
are tight. When disconnecting the plug-in
connections, do not pull the cables.
• The devices must not be modified in any way.
Modifications will void insurance coverage
and warranties. For assistance and repairs,
contact the Graupner USA Service Center.
Range and function test
Before every use, check the range and functioning.
Firmly secure the model and make sure that no one
is nearby.
Perform at least one complete function test on the
ground, and run through an entire flight simulation to
determine if there are any problems with the system
or the programming of the model. Always follow the
instructions under Range Test (page 71).
WARNING
Always perform a complete and consci-
entious range and function test as well as
the flight simulation. Malfunctions and
reception issues can occur if a range, function test
and flight simulation are not performed. Models
may crash and cause major property damage and/
or personal injury.

Installation instructions
Servo Noise Filters for Extension Cables
No. 1040
A servo noise filter is required when using long servo
extension cables. The filter is connected directly to
the receiver output. In severe cases, a second filter
may be attached to the server.
Electrical Ignitions
Gas engine ignition systems also generate interfer-
ence that can impair remote control functioning.
Electrical ignition systems should always obtain pow-
er from a separate source.
Only use interference-suppressed spark plugs and
spark plug connectors and shielded ignition cables.
The receiver should be at a sufficient distance from
the ignition system.
Model Function
WARNING
• Never fly the model over observers or
other pilots. Never endanger people or
animals, fly close to power lines, oper-
ate the model close to waterways or
open nautical traffic, near open roads,
highways, paths, public walkways,
etc.
• Never turn off the transmitter while
operating the model! If this happens,
wait three seconds for the display to
go dark, then turn the transmitter on
again. The transmitter may freeze if
turned on before the screen goes dark.
