2.6 Range check
Regular range checks are necessary for ensuring the reliable functioning of the
radio control system and for timely detection of changes in transmission properties.
Always perform a range check after:
installing, modifying or rearranging components in the model,
reusing components in the model that were involved in a crash,
observing irregularities when operating the model.
The transmitting power can be significantly reduced for the range check, enabling
short distances between transmitter and model.
While the range check is active the status displays #2 to #8 show the flashing
message: RANGE! with the annular ring flashing red. A warning is announced every
minute to alert the operator. The warning is only announced when your are not
navigating in menus so as not to disturb you when performing configurations.
Recommended minimum distance: 40m to 100m, depending on receiver type.
Refer to the receiver operating instructions for detailed information.
Always perform a range check before starting up the model.
A second person must always be present for the range check to secure and
observe the model.
Large metal objects within or in close proximity to the checking range (wire fences,
cars) affect the result of the range check.
