completely new software.
But we’ve kept what was good
and - wherever possible and necessary - improved it
That was our constant aim during the development of
the PROF! moon, You will find merry features which
have already proved their word-l in the PROFI me
3000. These features include the basic method of
operating die transmitter, so you will find “changing
horses" very easy.

About this manual
Manuals are necessary!
For getting started, tor reference, and simply for
information.
For golfing mmdbeceuee a‘written guide eases
the first stage of the testing process substantially (In
other words: the trial and error period), and helps you
avoid mistakes.
' The manual" ls necessary as a reference bookior
those times when you want to study and absorb the
iniormation thoroughly, or when you have not used a
particular tunctlon tor a while. However, the clear
menu system, in your own language, with its
unambiguous text information, makes us oonlidem -
that you will hardly ever need the manual once you
have got started (unfortunately - in the view of the
author).
An excellent source of information is the appendix, in
which we pass on notes and tips which ochre from our
own experience as well as many picked up through
direct contact with our customers - i.e. with you. But
our development section, our service department and
the many active modellers in our company have all
made important contributions.
The structure of this manual is based largely on these
considerations.

Legal matters
Even though we now pay no licence lee In the U.K. for
operating radio-controlled models, that does not mean
that we don‘t have legal responsibilities.
The frequency bands available in the United Kingdom
tor radio-controlled models are shown below:
Frequency In “H: Use
2636 to 27.28 General
34.995 to 35.255 Air
40.655 to 40.955 Surface
458.5 to 4595 General
Please note that the 40 MHz band is dedicated solely
to surface models, and 34/35 MHz is dedicated solely
to model aircraft. Model car and boat operators must
not use the 35 MHz band, and model aircraft must not
be flown on the 40 MHz band.
systems on the 35 MHz hand may only be used to
cullth model aircraft!
it you make any modifications to the HO system

Please note that you must not modiiy your radio

We strongly recommend that you join a model club.

body of your branch of model soon. Club membership
generally includes Insurance. However, we also
recommend that you take out your own mm
insurance policy to cover your particular
circumstances.
As a club member you will also find assistance and
answers to all your modelling problems within its
membership, as many of your fellow members will
already have tackled those problems and overcome
them.

The First Commandment:
9 Safety
As manulacturers we do everything technically
possible in order to keep the risks involved in
operating our radio control systems as small as
possible. This starts right at the development stage,
when the SAFETY aspect plays a crucially important
role in the design at new components.
However, the most Important contribution to “safe
model sport” is made by each model pilot himself.
Radio-controlled models are not piaytlrlngai
Even quite small models are capable of causing injury
to persons or damage to property. The following notes
are provided as well-Imentioned suggestions, and are
not intended to spoil your tun in our mutual hobby.
Please read (and above all observe) these points. By
this simple means you can save yourself and others
much money and frustration.
’ Insurance
Even if you take the greatest possible care. operating
models (especially model aircraft) necessarily
involves risks which you have to cover with your own
insurance. Your own individual public liability
insurance is one possibility. A second option is to ioin
a modal club which will usually be altlllated to the
national governing body oi your branch oi modelling.
Club membership usually includes a minimum level of
insurance. Your club colleagues will also be able to
offer sensible guidance on the matter oi insurance.
Before every flight ask yourself the questions
In the following check list. -
Safety notes
1. Are my batteries sutflcientty charged?
2. I: my channel tree?
The power-on check carried out by your
PRaFl me 4000 is a valuable aid here. but it
does not relieve you of the responsibility of
checking the frequencies in use with your llying
colleagues.
3. Have I checked the range of the system and
the model’s control functions?
Carry out a range check with the combination of
transmitter, receiving system, model and channel
which you are actually going to ueel
4. la "possible to fly solely at the moment?
No other models on the landing approach?
Is the take-off strip clear?
is the weather safe tor a tlight‘?
Only prepare your model tor a flight if you can
honestly answer “YES" to all these questions.
Preventative irreasures
1. Receiving system Installation
For model gliders we recommend the following basic
arrangement, starting from the fuselage nose: first the
receiver battery, then the servos, then the receiver.
These are the most important general rules:
a. Route the receiver aerial directly away from the
receiver, straight out of the model. and deploy it in
a straight line. Do not install the aerial parallel to
large metal parts (undercarriage, silencer). Keep
the aerial away from parts which could screen it
(metal parts, carbon libre reinforced components).
b. Do not position the receiver directly on top of the
drive battery or receiver battery. 2 cm clearance is
plenty to avoid interference due to magnetic fields.
c. Keep the receiver at least 2 cm away from the
servos.
2. Electric power system Installation
The most important rule:
Keep the power system and the receiving system as
far away from each other as possible inside the
model. '
3. Suppl-easing electrical ignition system:
Electronic and magnetic ignition systems can also
cause radio interference which can affect your
model's control system. The measures listed below
will usually eliminate any problems.
“a. Screen the ignition lead with a woven metal hm
(outer tubular screen from television aerial
cable), connected (aarthad) to the engine's
crankcase close to the ignition coil.
b. Use a screened spark plug cap.
c. M use the receiver battery as power source
for the spark ignition system. 3
