User Manual of DEVO-12 transmitter
Part one: General information
1.0 General information
1.1 Foreword
DEVO-12 takes 2.4GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology,
features automatic ID binding, automatic ID assignment, and also features
customizedly 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ensures one transmitter in hand forever not to be out of date and makes it full of vigor.
User Manual for DEVO-12

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 or control as
soon as the transmitter is sold out.
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.
1.3 Safety needing attention
1)
Far away from obstacle and people.
RC aircraft in flights is uncertain 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 humidity environment
Radio controlled aircraft should be kept away from humidity and vapor because it is
composed of complicated precise electronic elements and mechanic 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 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-12. The usage of the
charger should be within the range of rated voltage.
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-12 stay at the
lowest positions before operation.
3)
Strictly obey the order of TURN-ON and TURN-OFF before operation. When
starting your flight, turn on your DEVO-12 first, and connect the battery to the
aircraft last. When turning off the aircraft, disconnect the battery first, and turn off
your DEVO-12 last. An upset in the order may cause your aircraft out of control.
User Manual for DEVO-12
Page 6 of 238
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.

11.0 Installation requirements for receiver
It is important to correctly mount your transmitter 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.
