this and hold the aerial at an angle, the wiper 
contacts in the aerial guide sleeve could be 
damaged. 
3.  Deploy the connecting lead from the RF module 
and the aerial unit inside the transmitter: 
The connecting lead must pass under the HFM4 
M-LINK 2.4 GHz RF module and also to one side 
of the MULTIPLEX multi-function socket: 
   
4.  Pull the 2.4 GHz aerial unit upwards out of the 
aerial guide sleeve to the point where the aerial 
joint is visible; you will feel a distinct mechanical 
resistance at this point: 
     
 Close the transmitter case 
1.  Carefully offer up the case back panel to the 
transmitter, inserting the retaining lugs at the bot-
tom edge, and ensure that both lugs engage prop-
erly (arrows in the picture below): 
     
2.  Carefully close the transmitter back panel: 
  Ensure that no cables are trapped or jammed. It 
should be possible to fold the case back into posi-
tion without requiring force. 
1.  Push the sliders up as far as they will go (away 
from the “OPEN” marking): 
   
9.4.3.  Ideal Transmitter Aarial Orientation When 
Using the Transmitter 
When installed, the 2.4 GHz transmitter aerial can be 
rotated to either side and swivelled upwards. 
Before using the transmitter, the aerial should be an-
gled approximately at right-angles at the swivel joint, 
then  swivelled  either  to  left  or  right in  the  horizontal 
plane (see illustrations): 
 
For applications where the model is not operated di-
rectly above or below the transmitter, the optimum ae-
rial  orientation  is  vertically  upwards;  this  applies  in 
particular to model cars and boats. 
 
! Important: 
Never  point  the  aerial  directly  at  the  model.  For 
physical reasons the signal radiated from the aerial is 
at its weakest in an imaginary line extending straight out 
from the aerial. 
9.4.4.  Replacing the transmitter battery 
a.  Switch the transmitter OFF! 
b.  Locate the snap-catches of the two plastic battery 
retainers, pull both of them back in the direction of 
the battery, then fold them up ( Fig. 9.4.4.1.). 
c.  Remove the battery and withdraw the battery con-
nector and lead from the socket on the main circuit 
board ( Fig. 9.4.4.2.).

Opening / closing the retainers Connecting the battery 
When installing the battery ensure that the connecting 
lead is neatly deployed, so that it cannot become trapped 
when you close the transmitter back.
