Antenna installation:
R8SB receiver is made for high directivity consisting of two antenna, in order to maximize signal reception and
promote safe modelling has adopted a diversity antenna system. This allow the receiver to obtain RF signal on both
antennas and fly problem-free.
Be sure that the two antennas are placed at 90 degree to each other, and keep away from conductive materials to
avoid short circuit.
Linking to Transmitter
Step 1:
Set R8SB receiver in Binding mode FIRST and Select operate mode you want (Please reference below sheet ):
Connect battery to R8SB receiver while holing the F/S button on the receiver enter binding mode.
Mode select:
1. Set receiver in binding mode;
2. Each press of the F/S button advances the receiver to the next Mode, when you reach the mode that you wish to
operate in, short press the button.
3.Once locked into the correct mode the LED will flashing in corresponding times constantly.
