It is the most delicate radio component on-board the model and should be protected from vibration, shock and temperature extremes. Attachment of the Module Link and F/S position setting Procedure * If moisture enters the receiver, intermittent operation or a failure may result. Wrapping the receiver in a plastic bag also protects it from fuel and exhaust residue which, in some models, can work its way into the fuselage. CAUTION sure to turn off the power of the transmitter before Be you install or replace the module. stick to the predetermined position, after which you’ll have about 30 seconds of throttle control before the battery function reactivates. *The main purpose of the photo demonstrates how the antenna should be placed. For actual installation the receiver must be wrapped with a sponge or placed with floating material to protect it from vibration. Area select Install the module with care so that the connector pins of the transmitter won't be damaged. Normally please set at "GENERAL". In case of in France, please set at "FRANCE" WARNING If using this system in France, always use it to set the switch to "FRANCE". As to F/S position, the throttle position of the transimitter is stored in the receiver while linking as a F/S position. So please set the throttle stick at desired F/S position. * In other countries, both "GENERAL" and "FRANCE" are available. Note: This is not a critical figure, but the most important thing is to keep the antennas away from each other as much as possible. Note: Larger models can have large metal objects that can attenuate the RF signal.In this case the antennas should be placed at both sides of the model. Then the best RF signal condition is obtained at any flying attitude. antennas must be kept away from conductive ma The terials, such as metal and carbon by at least a half inch. * The coaxial part of the antennas does not need to follow these guidelines, but do not bend it in a small radius. Receiver's Antenna Installation The R607FS has two antennas. These antennas have a diversity function to decrease the chance of a receiving error. Since the wavelength of the 2.4GHz is much shorter than that of the conventional frequencies 27MHz and 72MHz, it is very susceptible to loss of signal which results in a receiving error. In order to avoid this phenomenon, the R607FS adopted a diversity antenna system. Keep the antennas away from the motor, ESC, and other noise sources as much as possible. Operation of the TM7 Set the transmitter's modulation as "PPM" LED indication Red solid solid Initializing(When power-up) Status alternate blink Check RF condition nearby --- solid off RF power on off solid blink RF power on(Power downed for ground range check) off blink off RF power on on blink blink RF power on(Power downed for ground range check) on F/S --- When the linking is complete, the LED in the receiver will change to solid green. Please confirm that the servos will now operate by your transmitter. Normally using the F/S function is recommended for safety reason. In case of, however, not using the F/S, TM-7 can cancel the F/S operation. In order to change the opertion status, please follow the procedure shown below; R607FS Receiver Antenna To obtain the best results of the diversity function, please refer to the following instructions: The two antennas must be kept as straight as possible. Turn off the transmitter and check if the throttle servo move to the predetermined F/S position. * Otherwise it will reduce the effective range. Antenna If the F/S position need to be changed, please perform the linking procedure again. Please refer to the table below for the LED status of the receiver's condition. Press and hold the function switch on the TM-7 while turning on the power. Battery F/S function -2- *The F/S status is changed from previous status. Unless performing this procedure, the TM-7 keep same status of the F/S operation. WARNING two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to The each other. Turn on the receiver. *Provided that the TM-7's F/S operation status is ON. Coaxial cable *Must be kept as straight as possible. Turn on the transmitter. (The throttle stick must be set at desired F/S position) Press down the "Easy Link" switch for more than one second, and release the switch. The receiver starts the linking operation. F/S operation Antenna Place the transmitter and the receiver close to each other within one (1) meter Check the LED that is placed on the TM-7 to see if the RF signal is active. When the green LED is ON solid, the RF signal is being sent. Note: When changing from "PCM", the power must be cycled in order the change to be effective. Green Each TM-7 has an individually assigned unique ID code. In order to start operation, the receiver must bind with the TM7's ID code. Once the bind is done, the ID code is stored in the receiver and the re-bind is not necessary unless the receiver is to be used with another TM-7. (For flight set of TM-7 and R607FS, the bind is already done at factory. For the reason of F/S setting that is mentioned below, however, please perform the linking again to confirm if the F/S operatin is OK.) When you purchased another R607FS, this procedure is necessary; otherwise the receiver will not work. Green Red off solid solid off Receiving signals blink off Receiving signals, but ID is unmatched. alternate blink Status No signal reception Unrecoverable failure (EEPROM, etc.) Antenna of TM-7 The F/S function also provide the Battery F/S function. When the voltage of the airborne battery down to approximately 3.8V, the throttle servo move to a predetermined position. If this happens, you should immediately land! If you need to increase throttle for your landing approach, you may temporarily reset the failsafe function by moving the throttle The antenna is adjustable so please make sure that the antenna is never pointed directly at the model when flying as this creates a weak signal for the receiver. -3- NEVER grip the antenna when flying as this degrades RF quality.
