d) Switching the Transmitter On/Off
Attention!
The flight control system in the model is equipped with an effective protective circuit
which later prevents the unintentional start-up of the drive motor.
However, before each operation of the transmitter, you must ensure that the control stick
for the motor rotation speed (see figure 2, Pos.10) is in the Motor Off position.
For this purpose, the control stick has to be pushed down completely or pulled towards
you as far as possible. Since unlike with the control functions of the rudder, there is no
reset spring for the stick function for the motor rotation speed, the control stick always
remains in the previously set position.
When the rechargeable batteries are charged or when new batteries are inserted, pull out the antenna
of the transmitter all the way and, for test purposes, switch the transmitter on via the function switch
(see figure 2, Pos. 6). The LED display (see figure 2, pos. 7) glows green and signals an adequate
power supply to the transmitter.
If the power supply does not suffice for the transmitter to work properly (lower than 8V) the LED changes
from green to red. In this case, you should stop operating your model as quickly as possible.
For further operation of the transmitter the rechargeable batteries are to be recharged or new batter-
ies must be inserted.
Take note of chapter 9.c) when charging the rechargeable batteries in the transmitter.
