Open the battery dooron the rear side of AnyLink2 and remove the battery. 2. Connect the included TCtO USB charger to a personal computer’s USB port, and turn the computer on. 3. Connect the LiPo battery to the jack on the opposite end of the charger 4. The charger's red LED will turn on to confirm charge is being delivered. 5. When the charger automatically detects full charge is achieved, the red LED Will flash slowly. The battery can be removed atthis time and is ready for use. Note: Rapid flashing of the LED indicates an error occurred. The battery should be disconnected from the charger and placed in a fireproof location. Contact Hobby SerVices. 6. If the battery was successfully charged, attach it to the connector inside AnyLink2 Carefully insert the battery inside AnyLink2 and close the door, making sure not to pinch the wires in the door. AnyLink2 turns on automatically when connected to a host transmitter and a signal is present at the trainer jack. Otherwise, AnyLinkZ’s power will remain off. Tones Will sound from AnyLink2 if its battery voltage drops to an unsafe level (3 25V). Land the aircraft immediately to avoid loss of control and possible destruction of the model. Fully re-charge the battery before further use. AN INK2 MOD ETUP IMPORTANT! Remove the airplane’s propeller prior to setting up AnyLink2 to Work With theflight system Failure to do so could result in personal injury if the motor turns unexpectedly. Make sure all batteries are fully charged prior to operation. Make sure all connections are solid physically and cannot easily become dislodged at any time. AnyLink2 must be used with a Tx having a throttle stickthat does NOT automatically spring back to center. 7 , w 1. Create a new model memory in the host transmitter before starting to configure AnyLink2. 2. Mount AnyLink2 to the host Tx, by either clipping the mounting grip onto the handle of the host Tx, or using the two hard locking mounting strips included. Extend AnyLinkZ‘s antenna upwards from the top of the Tx as much as possible TACJZDDS lnstrindd 2 3 Remove the Rf module or crystal from the host Tx if possible, or disable its Rf function. 4 Leave the transmitters own antenna in a retracted orfolded position. 5 For computer radios make sure the modulation is set to PPM mode. For transmitters having the option to transmit a signal when Tx power is turned ON, make sure “YES" is selected. *Futaba 12FG, 122, 14MZ, and 18MZ transmitters must be mapped for Futaba channel order betore use. 6 Move the throttle stickto minimum; leave all other sticks at center. 7 Connect the appropriate cable to the Tx trainer jack. if the transmitter's logic turns on automatically do NOT turn the Tx's power much on as it could cause AnyLink2 to not Iunction Otherwise, if the transmitters logic circuitry does NOT turn on automatically, turn the Tx power switch ON. 8 AnyLink2 should beep when a signal is received from the Tx and a red LED should illuminate at thistime. Identify the letter printed next to the illuminated LED from the folloWing list: Futaba JR (also Works for Graupner) Spektrum Hitec Airtronics (also Works for Walkera) Custom If the LED illuminates next to the proper letter for the connected radio, skip to the next section. o)>:r:mL-n lfthe proper LED is not illuminated, insert a small screwdriver into the hole next to “MODE" and press the button repeatedly until the LED illuminates next to the properTx brand letter. The LED will flash. Disconnect the cable from AnyLink2, and re-connect. The LED should now stay on constantly next to this selected radio setting. AnyLink2 should now be configured for the Tx and Will retain this setting even after power is removed. Resetting AnyLinkZ's radio setting will only be necessary when a different brand Tx Will be connected. TUP If using a radio brand not listed above, AnyLink2 can be custom configured foryour radio. 1 Create a new model memory in the host transmitter before starting to configure AnyLink2 2 Move the Tx throttle stick and throttle trim to minimum position. Leave all other sticks and trims at center position. 3 Connect the proper cable to the host transmitter’s trainer iack. If the transmitters logic doesn't turn on automatically, turn the Tx power switch ON. 4 Connect the cable to AnyLink2, which should power up automatically if a trainer signal is present. 5 Press AnyLinkZ's MODE button and hold until the LED next to “C" begins to flash. 6 Move the throttle trim to center position, then move the throttle stick to center position. A tone should sound to indicate the throttle channel is at center 7 Determine which stickWill be used forailercn control Move that stickto the far-right position, then to the far-left position, then return to center. 8 Determine which stickwill be used for elevator control. Move that stick to the farrup position, then to the farrdown position, then return to center. 9 Determine which stick Will be used for throttle control. Move that stick to the far-up position, then far-down position, then return to center 10. Determine which stick Will be used for rudder control. Move that stick to the far-right position, then far-left position, then return to center. 11. Move the throttle stickto minimum position, which should be followed by a beep and the LED should illuminate next to “C" to indicate Custom mode is set. AnyLink2 will save this custom data and exit this setting mode 12. Remove powerfrom AnyLink2, and then re-apply. AnyLink2 should be configured to work With this Tx. Once power is removed from AnyLink2 it will not be necessary to reset Custom mode. LINKINGT A ACTIC RX To use AnyLink2 with a Micro Tx-R airplane skip to the next section. Otherwise, to link to a Tactic brand Rx or Select Scale Tx-R aircraft, refer to the instructions included With the receiver, or go to www.tacticrc.com/ receivers/index html to find an instruction sheet as needed. Remember to set the tailsafe on the Tactic receiver NOTE: Tactic receiver TR1424 does not include a failsafe function. Tactic receiver TR424 includes a non-adjustable failsate where the throttle position is automatically established based on the maximum or minimum position of the throttle stick (CH3) each time the TR424 is linked to a Tx. All other channels Will hold their last position. For all other Tactic receivers, the factory default is that CH3 deflects to 0% (minimum) which should stop motor function if the Rx loses signal, and all other channels Will hold their last position. The throttle deflection position can be changed manually if desired IMPORTANT! Confirm the Tx servo reversing settings are in the correct position forthe application. To manually set the throttle failsafe: A. Make sure the model's ESC is NOT armed. If using a combustion engine make sure it's NOT running. B. Move the Tx throttle stickto the desired tailsafe position. C. Press and hold the Rx “LINK" button until the Rx LED blinks twice. D. Release the LINK button. The Rx LED should stay illuminated to indicate the Rx is now linked, With the throttlefailsafe in the new position as set above. E. Skip to the SYSTEM CHECK AND OPERATION section. AUTO-LINKING ANYLINK2 TD MICRO TX—R AIRCRAFT When power is originally applied to a Micro Tx-R aircraft the built-in Rx will automatically search for the strongest signal being emitted from any Tactic 2.4GHz Tx (including TTX402, 403, AnyLink2, etc), or other brand Tx which is currently emitting the SLT protocol, and link to that signal. There are no link buttons to press to establish this link. A link is established when the red LED on the board illuminates. Later, if power is rerapplied to the same Micro TxrR aircraft while multiple Tactic transmitters are operating simultaneously , including the original transmitter “A" — the Micro Tx-R aircraft will attempt to re-link with transmitter ”".A However, if power is rerapplied to the Micro TxVR aircraft While a Signal is being emitted from a different Tactic transmitter, the Micro Tx-R aircratt Will now automatically link to the new transmitter (Tx “8"). To re-establish the link with Tx “",A repeat this process but apply power only to Tx “A" before applying power to the Micro TxrR aircraft. Try these tips if the Micro Tx-R aircraft has difficulty linking with AnyLink2 when multiple Tactic signals are present: 1. Prerlink your AnyLink2 and Micro TxrR aircraft before arriVing at the flying Site. 2. Turn on theTx/AnyLink2 before applying powerto the Micro Tx-R aircraft. 3. Wait for other pilots flying Tactic to remove power from their Tx/ AnyLink2 before attempting to link. 4. Move further away from other Tactic transmitters before powering your equipment. SYSTEM CHECK AND OPERATI Check the general operation of the system and all flight equipment before attempting a flight. A WARNING! With the aircraft on the ground, make sure the throttle stick remains at the minimum position and is not accidentally moved. NOTE: Micro TxrR aircraft have a throttle arming procedure which does require movement of the throttle channel during setup (see instructions included with the Micro Tx-R aircraft) Range Check: Determine the safe operating distance from the Tx to the Rx. Place the aircraft on the ground and walk 100 feet (30m) away from the model. Confirm that smooth, interferencerfree control of all surfaces exists. Failsale Check: If using the tailsafe feature, test for proper operation: 1. Prepare a way to quickly disconnect the battery/ESC connection if power needs to be out immediately. 2. Have an assistant hold the aircraft in place on a test stand, with hands away from the motor. 3. Apply powerto the system and test the motorand flight gearfor general operation. 4. Remove power from the Tx/AnyLinkZ. . Observe the model’s surfaces to ensure they move to the preViously set failsate positions. 6. If tailsafe operation is correct, re-connect power to the system as explained earlier and prepare forflight. if the failsafe function does not operate correctly, rercheck the LINKING TO A TACTIC Rx and SYSTEM CHECK AND OPERATION sections and re-try. 7. After the flight is complete. remove power from the flight system as soon as possible, then the transmitter and AnyLink2 INACTIVITY ALARM AND REMOVING POWER if no Tx controls are moved for 5 minutes, AnyLink2 Will flash all LEDs simultaneously and tones Will sound to alert that power is still ON and AnyLink2 is still transmitting a signal. After power has safely been removed from the model, power must be removed from AnyLink2 by disconnecting it from the transmitters trainer Jack or turning off power to the Tx (depending on Tx type).
