9. Initial Operation of the Transmitter

In these operating instructions, the numbers in the text always refer to the figure opposite or the figures within the section. Cross references to other
figures are indicated with the respective figure number.

a) Attaching the Antenna to the Transmitter

If necessary, the transmitter antenna should be fully inserted into the circular opening at the front/top of the transmitter housing (see figure 2, pos. 2) and then
turned tight like a screw. Only hand-tighten the antenna. Do not use excessive force or tools to tighten it.
b) Inserting Batteries/Rechargeable Batteries
To operate the transmitter you require 8 alkaline batteries (e.g. Conrad order no. 652507, 4 Pack, order x2) or mignon rechargeable batteries (AA). For both
financial and ecological reasons, it is definitely recommended that you use rechargeable batteries, as they can be recharged whilst in the transmitter using the
in-built charger plug.
Please proceed as follows when inserting batteries:
The battery compartment lid (1) is situated on the back of the transmitter.
Press down on the riffled surface (2) and slide the lid downwards to
remove.
Now place 8 batteries or rechargeable batteries into the battery
compartment.
Observe the correct polarity of the individual cells. A corresponding note
(3) is located on the bottom of the battery compartment.
Afterwards slide the lid of the battery compartment back on from the
bottom and let the locking mechanism click into place.
c) Charging Rechargeable Batteries in the Transmitter
When using rechargeable batteries, you can attach a charging cable to the charging jack (fig. 3, pos 4) to charge the rechargeable batteries in the transmitter.
The transmitter has to be switched off to charge the batteries. It is also very important that you pay attention to the correct polarity of the connector plug. The
inner contact of the charge socket has to be connected to the plus connection (+) and the outside contact to the minus connection (-) of the charger. The charging
current should be approx. 1/10 of the capacity value of the inserted rechargeable batteries. For rechargeable batteries with a capacity of 2000 mAh this
corresponds to a charging current of approx. 200 mA and charging time takes approx. 14 h. In order to avoid damage to the internal circuit paths and connections,
please don't use fast chargers.
As there is a safety diode integrated into the charge current circuitry of the transmitter, no chargers can be used that intermittently interrupt the
charge current in order to measure the actual rechargeable battery voltage. In this case, the rechargeable batteries should be removed from the
transmitter to be recharged.
Connect the charger only if the rechargeable batteries (1.2V/cell) have been inserted in the transmitter. Never try to recharge batteries (1.5V/cells)
with a charger.
Warning!
The flight control system in the model is equipped with an effective protective circuit which later prevents the unintentional startup 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. The control stick must be moved all the way to the bottom or right towards the body in order to do this. Contrary to the
control stick for the rudders, which always jumps back into the central position independently, the motor rotation speed control has no return spring
and always remains in the last set position.
When the rechargeable batteries are charged or when new batteries are inserted, pull out the transmitter antenna 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 indicates a sufficient supply of power to the
transmitter.
