This will have put the receiver into Fail Safe setting mode. To set any the value for any function that function must be moved through it’s full range
(to facilitate this, the Servo Travel value must be set at more than 60% on the transmitter) and then moved to the desired position. If the jumper is
then removed before the receiver is switched off, the value will be stored.
Fail Safe will be activated for all functions which have been moved before the jumper is removed and the last position of any sticks, knobs or sliders
will be stored by the receiver. Any functions which have not been moved to activate the Fail Safe function will default to the middle (neutral) position.
The Fail Safe settings are only saved within the receiver if the jumper is removed before the receiver is switched off, if the receiver is switched off before
the jumper is removed the previous settings will be retained.
7.2.5 Range Testing
Before you can conduct a range test the transmitter module must have been bonded to the 2.4 Dual FHSS receiver, see Para. 8.2.2.
• The first Step in conducting a range test is to put the transmitter module into range test mode which will reduce the transmitter’s output to
10 mW which is 1/10 of the normal output. To access to this mode switch the transmitter on and wait until the yellow “TEST“ LED goes
out indicating that the self test is complete “Button 1” (the right hand button) should then be pressed for at least 5 seconds.
• The yellow LED (“TEST“) will then begin to flash slowly at regular intervals indicating that the transmitter module is in range test mode.
For safety reasons, the transmitter module will only remain in range test mode for 60 seconds, after which time it will revert to normal mode
and the output return to full strength.
• Once 1 minute has expired if you have not completed the range test but wish to continue with it, the system must be switched off before
switching it back on prior to carrying out the steps detailed above once again. This will put the module back into range test mode for a
further 60 seconds.
• Walk away from the model with the transmitter and operate all of the controls for a distance of 80-100 steps. Keep the transmitter pointed
at the model and all of the controls must work perfectly.
If the range check fails, do not attempt to operate your model under any circumstances!! If the receiver fails to receive a
‘clean’ signal, the red “ERROR“ LED on the transmitter will flash. If the range check has failed, carefully check the model’s
installation including all cables, the receiver battery, the receiver switch as well as all plugs and sockets. The transmitter
battery should also be checked for sufficient power.
When conducting the range test, the return signal from the receiver will also be tested. This signal is transmitted from the
left hand antenna and for this reason if the left antenna is located in a poor position relative to the transmitter, a lack of
range may be indicated by the transmitter module. This situation will be amplified if the model is placed on wet grass.
7.2.6 Setting the country code
There are 2 country code settings:
• World: the complete frequency band from 2,401 to 2,4835 GHz will be used
• France: 2,401 – 2,453 GHz will be used
The factory setting is 2,401 to 2,4835 GHz (world).
To change the country code switch on the transmitter and wait until the self test is finished and press both buttons on the transmitter module si-
multaneously for 5 seconds. The module will now be in change country code mode which will be indicated by all 3 LEDs flashing together.
Slow rhythmical single flashes: World
Slow rhythmical double flashes: France
Pressing both buttons again will change the country code
A further method of changing the country code is outlined in Para 10.2
7.3 Dual 2.4 Dual FHSS micro receiver with Gyro
A 2.4 Dual FHSS Micro Gyro receiver must be configured using the GigaControl software. Please install the Software in accordance with Para 9.4.
