CHAPTER 1: Transmitter Controls continued
For proper DSC hook-up and operation:
1.  Leave the transmitter power switch off. The 
transmitter will not transmit any radio 
frequency (RF) in this position.
2.  Plug the optional DSC cord (JRPA132) into 
the DSC port in the rear of the transmitter.
3.  The encoder section of the transmitter will now 
be operational and the LCD display will be lit.
4.  Plug the other end of the DSC cord into 
the receiver charge receptacle. Turn on the 
switch harness.
Note: When installing the optional charging 
jack (JRPA024), be sure to hook the charging jack 
receptacle securely into the switch harness 
charge cord.
Why you should use the DSC function:
1.  The DSC enables you to check the control 
surfaces of your airplane without drawing the 
fully operational 200mAh from your transmitter 
battery pack. Instead, you will only draw 70mAh 
when using the DSC function.
Note: You will need to purchase (separately) 
both the DSC cord (JRPA132) and the JR Deluxe 
Switch Harness (JRPA001) to make use of the 
XF631 DSC function.
2.  The DSC function allows you to make final 
adjustments to your airplane without 
transmitting any radio signals. Therefore, if 
another pilot is flying on your frequency, you 
can still adjust your aircraft and not interfere 
with the other aircraft.
Note: Under no circumstances should you 
attempt to fly your aircraft with the DSC cord 
plugged in! This feature is for bench checking 
your aircraft only.
There is an eye hook on the front of the transmitter
for attaching an optional neck strap (JRPA023). The
eye hook is precisely positioned (see Section 1.1)
so that the transmitter will be perfectly balanced when
a neck strap is used.
