PRECAUTIONS

To

use

your

R/C

set

safely,

please

observe

the

following

pre-

Cautions:

(operating

precautions)

When

powering

up

the

system,

first

turn

on the

transmitter

power,

then

turn

on

receiver

power.

When

powering

down

the

system,

first

turn

off

the

receiver

power,

then

turn

off

the

transmitter

power.

If

the

power

is

turned

on

or

off

in

the

re-

verse

order

the

control

servos

may

move

erratically

causing

engines

or

electric

motors

to

race

unexpectedly

and

possibly

resulting

in

serious

injury

to

the

user

or

bystanders.

Before

turning

on

the

power,

set

the

throttle

stick

to

the

maximum

slow

position.

||

Extend

the

transmitter

antenna

to

its

full

length.

If

the

antenna

is

not

extended

fully,

the

transmitter

output

will

drop

and

the

range

of

receivable

transmission

will

be

shortened.

||

Never

fly

two

or

more

models

on

the

same

frequency

at

the

same

time.

Before

flight,

use

a

frequency

monitor

or

other

device

to

check

that

the

frequency

is

not

in

use.

Simulta-

neous

flight

on

the

same

band

is

extremely

dangerous

be-

cause

it

will

cause

interference

and

loss

of

control.

Differ-

ences

in

modulation

method

or

signal

format

(AM,

FM,

PCM,

etc.)

does

not

mean

that

flights

can

be

made

on

the

same

band.

|

Do

not

forget

to

recharge

the

Nicd

battery

before

each

flight.

Needless

to

say,

a

dead

battery

will

cause

loss

of

control

and

a

crash.

Always

check

the

discharge

time

on

the

ground

and

provide

a

margin

of

safety

when

determining

the

remaining

flight

time.

When

recharging

the

Nicd

battery,

observe

the

charging

current

and

charging

time

specified

on

the

battery.

Charging

the

battery

at

a

current

and

time

exceeding

the

specified

values

will

not

only

damage

the

battery

by

over-

charging,

but

will

also

cause

overheating

and

other

danger-

ous

conditions.

Do

not

fly

on

rainy

days.

Even

in

a

drizzle,

water

can

enter

the

transmitter

through

the

antenna

and

sticks

and

cause

faulty

operation.

The

resulting

loss

of

control

may

cause

a

crash

or

the

engine

to

race

and

is

very

dangerous.

[|

When

placing

the

transmitter

on

the

ground

during

flight

preparations,

make

certain

that

the

transmitter

cannot

be

easily

toppled

by

the

wind

or

other

means.

If

it

tips

over

while

the

engine

is

running

and

the

throttle

stick

is

inadvertently

moved

to

the

high

position

as

result,

serious

injury

to

the

op-

erator

or

others

could

result.

[

Always

test

your

digital

proportional

R/C

set

before

flight.

As

a

simple

test

method,

before

starting

the

engine,

retract

the

transmitter

antenna

fully

and

operate

each

servo

from

a

dis-

tance

of

about

5m

and

check

if

the

servos

follow

the

move-

ment

of

their

control

sticks.

If

a

servo

does

not

follow

the

movement

of

its

control

stick,

extend

the

transmitter

antenna

to

its

full

length,

increase

the

distance

on

the

ground,

and

repeat

the

test.

If

the

receiving

range

is

still

short,

discontinue

flight

and

check

the

set.

In

general,

when

a

model

is

flown

at

high

speed

and

/

or

the

flying

range

is

large,

even

more

caution

is

necessary.

A

safe

method

is

to

fly

at

an

exclusive

flying

field

belonging

to

a

club,

etc.

However,

the

presence

of

spectators,

wind

direction,

etc.

must

be

constantly

monitored.

In

areas

near

high

tension

lines,

high

buildings,

and

communication

facilities,

consider-

ation

must

be

given

not

only

to

normal

flight

dangers,

but

also

to

possible

loss

of

control

caused

by

radio

wave

interference.

Because

R/C

radio

waves

have

a

fairly

long

range,

a

location

at

least

3

km

/

2

miles

from

other

R/C

flying

fields

and R/C

control

circuits

is

necessary.

(Installation

precautions)

When

installing

the

receiver,

servos,

and

other

parts

to

the

fuselage,

observe

the

following

precautions:

Servo

travel

Operate

each

servo

horn

over

its

full

travel

and

check

that

the

pushrod

does

not

bind

and

or

is

not

too

loose.

Unreasonable

force

applied

to

the

servo

horn

will

adversely

affect

the

servo

and

drain

the

battery

pack

very

quickly.

Make

sure

that

the

free

travel

range

of

each

control

surface

or

mechanism

somewhat

larger

than

the

full

control

travel

(including

trim)

of

the

servo

horn.

Adjust

the

servo

horns

so

that

they

move

smoothly

even

when

the

trim

lever

and

stick

are

operated

si-

multaneously

in

the

same

direction.

Servo

so

that

to

Also

install

the

switch

where

it

will

not

be

exposed

to

or

dust

and

dirt.

Generally,

install

the

receiver

switch

on

the

opposite

side

of

Receiver

antenna

Although

the

receiver

antenna

may

appear

to

be

too

long,

do

not

cut

it

or

fold

it

back.

Changing

the

length

of

the

receiver

antenna

will

lower

the

receiving

sensitivity

and

shorten

the

flight

range.

Also

fasten

the

receiver

antenna

wire

by

passing

it

through

a

vinyl

tube

as

far

away

from

the

metal

frame

as

possible.

Receiver

vibration

and

water

proofing

The

receiver

contains

precision

electronic

parts.

Besides

be-

ing

susceptible

to

vibration

and

shock,

the

entry

of

water

will

also

cause

erroneous

and

dangerous

results

and

has

been

associated

with

crashes

and

other

accidents.

Wrap

the

re-

ceiver

in

foam

rubber

or

take

other

vibration

countermea-

sures.

Also

waterproof

the

receiver

by

placing

it

in

a

plastic

bag

and

securing

the

open

end

of

the

bag

with

a

rubber

band.

Do

the

same

with

the

receiver

and

servo

battery.

Processing

of

cord

Be

sure

that

the

cords

do

not

touch

the

corners

of

the

metal

parts

of

the

model.

The

wire

may

be

broken

by

vibration

and

is

very

dangerous.

Servo

Spare

hornes

are

supplied.

Use

them

as

needed.

increases.

When

the

is

controlled

by

the

When

precaution

*

When

the

gyro

power

switch

is

turned

the

stops,

but

the

Therefore,

When
