Note: read THE MANUAL thoroughly before using, and keep it in a safe
place for the future reference.
User Manual of DEVO-8 transmitter
Part one: General information
1.0 General information
![](/img.php?id=1536033&img=bg8.png)
DEVO-8 Page no. Page 8 of 363
1.1 Foreword
DEVO-8 takes 2.4GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
technology, features automatic ID binding, automatic ID assignment,
and also features CUSTOMIZED fixed ID setup. The usage of wireless
copy function keeps you away from the trouble in wire link-up. Three
mode types of Helicopter, Airplane, and Glider are available to meet
your requirements for different models. Touch screen with wide area is
used and it offers you convenient operation. USB Online update
technology ensures one transmitter in hand forever not to be out of date
and makes it full of vigor.
1.2 Important statements
1) The transmitter is suitable for experienced radio controlled aircraft
modelers beyond 14 years old.
2) Flying the model aircraft in approved ground is a must.
3) We are not responsible for any safety caused by operation, usage
orcontrolassoonasthetransmitterissoldout.
4) We consign our distributors to offer technical support and service
after sale. Please contact the local distributors for problem
solutions caused by usage, operation, maintenance, etc.
![](/img.php?id=1536033&img=bg9.png)
DEVO-8 Page no. Page 9 of 363
1.3Safetyneedingattention
1) Far away from obstacle and people.
RC aircraft in flights is uncertai n of flight speed and status, which
potential risk exists in when flying. Please keep your radio controlled
aircraft far away from people, high buildings, high-tension line, etc, and
avoid operating in rain, storms, thunder and lightening.
2) Away from HUMID environment
Radio controlled aircraft should be kept away from humidity and vapor
because it is composed of complicated precise electronic elements and
MECHANICAL parts.
3) Proper operation
Use original spare parts to upgrade, modify or maintain your equipment
in order to assure its safety. Please operate your equipment within the
range of functions permitted. It is forbidden to use out of the safety laws
or regulations.
4) Safety operation
Operate your equipment according to your body status and flight skills.
Fatigue, listlessness and mis-operation will increase the possibilities of
accidental hazard.
5) Away from heat sources
The inside of the transmitter is composed of precise electronic
![](/img.php?id=1536033&img=bga.png)
DEVO-8 Page no. Page 10 of 363
components and mechanical parts. Keep it far away form heat sources
and sunshine to avoid distortion, or even damage caused by high
temperature.
6) Correct charging method
Use the assorted charger to charge the battery for your DEVO-8. The
usage of the charger should be within the range of rated voltage.
![](/img.php?id=1536033&img=bgb.png)
DEVO-8 Page no. Page 11 of 363
1.4 Attention before flight
1) Ensure the battery packs of both transmitter and receiver are fully
saturated.
2) Ensure both the throttle stick and the throttle trim of your DEVO-8
stay at the lowest positions before operation.
3) Strictly obey the order of TURN-ON and TURN-OFF before
operation. When starting yo ur flight, turn on your DEVO-8 first, and
connect the battery to the aircraft last. When turning off the aircraft,
disconnect the battery first, and turn off your DEVO-8 last. An upset
in the order may cause your aircraft out of control. Cultivate a
correct habit of turn-on and turn-off.
4) Ensure whether the directions and actions of all the servos in your
RC aircraft are correct when executing commands of the
transmitter. Using broken servos will result in unforeseen dangers.

9.0 Training function
Two DEVO-8s working together can execute the training function to
meet t he requirements for the begi nners. T he setti ng met hod is shown
as below:
1) Data copy
Using the wireless copy function of two DEVO-8 equipments, the model
data saved in the trainer’s one can be transmitted to the trainee’s to
ensure that the model parameters are exactly same. Regarding the
copying method, refer to “2.4 Model Wireless Copy” at “Part Two:
Helicopter”. Then follow the steps below:
2) Linkage

2.1) Treatment of trainee’s DEVO-8
Insert one end of the signal wire into DSC socket at the rear face of the
trainee’s DEVO-8, and then turn on the power. A linkage icon will be
shown on the boot screen. Find out the trainee’s model data at its
DEVO-8.

fly it normally. Then turn off the power.
Insert the other end of the digital signal wire into the trainer’s DEVO-8,
and then turn on its power. A linkage icon will be shown as below:

During flight, if the trainer pushes Right Trim once, the lingkage icon will
be shown as ĀĜ” that means the control right is moved to the trainee
from Trainer. If trainer pushes Right Trim once again, the linkage icon
will be shown as “X” that means the trainer takes back the control right

11.0 Installation requirement for receiver
It is important to correctly mount your remote control system in your
model. Below are some advices on how to install your equipments.
1) Wrap the receiver with 10mm thick foam and soundly fix it with a
rubber or magic string on your aircraft model. It helps protect the
receiver from damage.
2) It is necessary to use rubber grommets and copper sleeves to
isolate the vibrations from the main body of aircraft model. The
mounting screws cannot be over-tightened. Otherwise the rubber
grommets will be distorted and decrease the vibration absorption
effect.
3) When mounting the servos, make sure the servos’ bellcranks can
move freely over their whole travel range and ensure the control
linkages don’t touch or impede the movement of these servos.
4) If installing various switches, keep them far away from the engine
tuned pipe and high vibration sources. Ensure all the switches
move freely over their whole travel range.
5) Don’t make the receiver antennas wrapped or parallel.
