MULTIPLEX
In this mode the control system must continue to
function up to a distance of about fifty metres.
6. Flying the model
These few steps are all you need to do before the
first flight. Be sure to keep to the correct se-
quence of switching on and off: always switch the
transmitter on first, and only then the receiving
system; reverse the sequence when switching off.
Before you launch and fly your model please read
through the manufacturer’s notes; those concern-
ing safety and other warnings are particularly im-
portant.

NTRODUCTION
These operating instructions are an integ-
ral part of the product, and contain im-

Please store them in a safe place, and be
sure to pass them on to the new owner if
you ever dispose of the equipment.
3.1 The SMART SX philosophy
The SMART SX M-LINK is a compact, intelligent six-
channel beginners’ radio control system with a
concept for the future!
The SMART SX intelligent beginners’ radio control
system is fully compatible with other MULTIPLEX sys-
tems, from the telemetry-capable COCKPIT SX right
up to the high-end PROFI TX system. The same ap-
plies to the small ID receiver supplied in the set, which
even works with the sophisticated PROFI TX transmit-
ter.
However, MULTIPLEX offers much more than this:
our range also includes a carefully considered, con-
sistent series of models. Our complete RTF (Ready-
to-Fly) packages contain the model, factory-assem-
bled and almost ready for the air, the SMART SX
transmitter, an RX-5 M-LINK ID receiver, dry cells, a
rechargeable flight battery and a 230 V battery
charger. Once you have unpacked the model, all you
have to do is attach the wings, charge the flight pack
and receiver battery (if used), and prepare the trans-
mitter. When these few procedures are out of the way,
there is nothing to stop you flying the model.
The presence of the M-LINK ID
receiver enables the SMART SX
to detect the specific model, and
automatically activate the as-
sociated settings from its enor-
mous reserve of model memo-
ries: fifty independent model
memories are available. All compatible MULTIPLEX
ELAPOR® models from RR+ to RTF are programmed
in the transmitter as standard. Many models from
other manufacturers can be fitted with an ID receiver, and
this makes it very simple for the intelligent SMART SX
transmitter to detect each ID receiver, and exploit its ad-
vantages. The overall concept of transmitter and model
expands with the demands of the model pilot. MULTIPLEX
offers a complete and consistent system whose compo-
nents are all compatible.
Once you have gained initial experience with an RTF mod-
el, and wish to own and fly another aircraft, we recommend
that you move on to a MULTIPLEX RR+ model. Our RR+
packages are just as complete as the RTF models, with the
exception of the SMART SX M-LINK transmitter and battery
charger, as you already own these two components from
your first RTF model. You can use them again, since the
transmitter and charger are fully compatible with the RR+
models. The transmitter detects all compatible RR+ models
which are currently available. When new models come onto
the market, you can load their settings into your transmitter
using the free MULTIPLEX Launcher software; this saves
you the task of making the adjustments yourself.
When your requirements have expanded to the point where
you are keen to invest even more time in the hobby of
model flying, you can easily upgrade to an even more pow-
erful MULTIPLEX transmitter, e.g. a COCKPIT SX system,
since all the receivers are compatible. This represents long-
term system compatibility, and saves you money.
3.2 Features of the SMART SX
The SMART SX M-LINK is a compact, intelligent six-chan-
nel beginners’ radio control system which includes ground-
breaking features, some of them patented.
• The transmitter exploits its intelligent patented model
identification system to assign a specific model (i.e. its
receiver) to a pre-programmed model memory. All
MULTIPLEX RR+ and RTF models are already prog-
rammed in separate model memories.
• The transmitter
is fitted with an
aerial incor-
porating the
newly patented
IOAT technolo-
gy. The opti-
mised direc-
tional charac-
teristics signifi-
cantly enhance
security, and take effective range far beyond the limits
of vision. The 2.4 GHz aerial integrated into the trans-
mitter case is always directed at the optimum angle,
and the radiated signal to the rear is minimal; all the ra-
diated power is effectively concentrated in the flying
sector.
• The small, light transmitter is very easy to handle, and
can be used for many types of model. Its ergonomically
efficient case is very comfortable to hold.
• Five fully proportional channels are available: elevator,
rudder and throttle plus two aileron channels. A
