9. Operation of the Transmitter
In the operating instructions, the numbers in the text always refer to the figure opposite or the figures within the section. Cross-references to other
figures will be indicated by the corresponding figure number. Upon delivery, the transmitter is set to mode II. In this mode, the left control stick
controls the rudder and motor speed, and the right control stick controls the aileron and elevator.
Upon delivery, the transmitter is set to mode II. In this mode, the left control stick controls the nose landing gear and motor speed, and the right control stick
controls the aileron and elevator.
a) Transmitter Aerial
The transmitter aerial has a small folding joint. For operating the transmitter with best performance, the transmitter aerial should always be angled slightly
upwards. Never point the transmitter aerial directly at the model. This decreases the range.

b) Inserting the Batteries/Rechargeable Batteries

The transmitter is supplied with power by 8 AA alkaline batteries (e.g. Conrad item no.: 652507, pack of 4, order 2) or rechargeable batteries. For ecological and
economical reasons it is recommended to use rechargeable batteries, since they can be recharged in the transmitter through the built-in charging socket.
To insert the batteries or rechargeable batteries, please proceed as
follows:
The battery compartment lid (1) is on the back of the transmitter.
Push down the corrugated area (2) and push off the lid downwards.
Now insert 8 batteries or rechargeable batteries into the battery compartment.
Observe the correct polarity of the individual cells. The polarity is indicated (3)
at the bottom of the battery compartment.
Then slide the lid of the battery compartment back on from the bottom until the
locking mechanism engages.
The socket (trainer) on the back of the casing has no function in
this transmitter.
c) Charging Rechargeable Batteries in the Transmitter
When using rechargeable batteries, you can attach a charging cable to the charging socket (see fig. 2, item 9) and charge the rechargeable batteries in the
transmitter. The transmitter must be switched off. Make sure the polarity of the connector plug is correct. The inner contact of the charging socket must be
connected to the positive terminal (+) and the outer contact to the negative terminal (-) of the charger. The charging current should correspond to approximately
1/10 of the capacity value of the inserted rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable batteries with a capacity of 2000 mAh require a charging current of approx. 200
mA, the charging time being approx. 14 hours. In order to avoid damage to the internal conductor paths and connections, please do not use any quick chargers.
Connect the charger only if the rechargeable batteries (1.2V/cell) have been inserted in the transmitter. Never try to recharge batteries (1.5 V/cells)
with a charger. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
Since a protective diode is integrated in the transmitter, no chargers can be used that briefly interrupt the charging current in order to measure the
voltage of the rechargeable battery. In this case, the rechargeable batteries must be charged outside the transmitter.
Attention!
The speed controller in the model is equipped with an effective protective circuit which prevents the drive motor from starting unintentionally.
Nevertheless, before using the transmitter, always make sure that the motor speed control stick (see fig. 2, item. 3) is in the „motor off" position.
For this purpose, the control stick must be pushed down completely or pulled towards you as far as possible. As opposed to the control functions
of the rudder, the motor speed control stick is not equipped with a return spring, so it keeps its position.
