Water will penetrate into the transmitter and cause faulty operation, or loss of control, and cause a crash.MEANING OF SPECIAL MARKINGSPRECAUTIONS DURING FLIGHT WARNINGwww.art-tech.comCAUTION Procedures where the possibility of serious injury to the user is small, but there is a danger of injury, or physical damage, if not carried out properly.Symbol: Prohibited MandatoryMARKDANGERWARNINGMEANINGProcedures which may lead to a dangerous condition and cause death or serious injury to theuser if not carried out properly. Procedures which may lead to dangerous condition or cause death or serious injury to the user if not carried out properly, or procedures where the probability of superficial injury or physical damage is high.WARNING!If there is a long time not for use, please take the battery out from the transmitter and keep it in the dry place.Forbid to wipe the radio system with the organic liquor such as thinner, acetone and chloroform.Do not throw away the using up batteries, please keep them in the metalloid container and transfer them to the environmental conservation institution.On purpose of environmental conservation and low using cost , we suggest you use the rechargeable Ni-MH battery.
5TRANSMITTERwww.art-tech.comAlways test the digital proportional R/C set before use. Any abnormality in the digital proportional R/C set, or model, may cause a crash. Before starting the engine, check that the direction of operation of each servo matches the operation of its control stick. If a servo does not move in the proper direction, or operation is abnormal, do not fly the plane.We offer Mode I and Mode II two types of transmitter for selection. Customers should choose one according to their individual needs. You will need 8 AA batteries for operating the transmitter.Please do not press the frequency bind switch when the Transmitter at work mode, or else your device will not work!If the indicator of the transmitter or the receiver flashing once every two seconds after turn on the power please bind the frequency of the transmitter and the receiver again. Low battery voltage alarm function. The transmitter will emit a high-pitched tone if the battery voltage gets too low. The transmitter can not work properly if the frequency bind button is pressed down neglectfully. In this case, The transmitter and the receiver must be bind again. More details , ease refer to the process of frequency bind for 2.4 GHz R/C system. Please do not turn on several RC devices and bind them at the same time, bind only one set of RC device at one time. The RC device should not be stay in bind state for a long time.Do not fly the plane near the house, road,electrical wire and airport.

When the rudder stick is moved to the left, the rudder moves to the left and the nose points to the left and the direction of travel of the plane changes.THROTTLE OPERATIONWhen the throttle stick is pulled back, the engine throttle lever arm moves to the SLOW (low speed) position. When the throttle stick is pushed forward, the throttle lever arm moves to the HIGH (high speed) position.TRANSMITTER OPERATION AND MOVEMENT OF EACH SERVO (Mode 1)Before making any adjustments, learn the operation of the transmitter and the movement of each servo. (In the following descriptions, the transmitter is assumed to be in the standby state.)AILERON OPERATIONWhen the aileron stick is moved to the right, the right aileron is raised and the left aileron is lowered, relative to the direction of flight, and the plane turns to the right. When the aileron stick is moved to the left, the ailerons move in the opposite direction. ELEVATOR OPERATIONWhen the elevator stick is pulled back, the tail elevator is raised and the tail of the plane is forced down, the airflow applied to the wings is changed, the lifting force is increased, and the plane climbs (UP operation). When the elevator stick is pushed forward, the elevator is lowered, the tail of the plane is forced up, the air flow applied to the wings is changed, the lifting force is decreased, and the plane dives (DOWN operation).mode I mode II
www.art-tech.com12The process of frequency bind for 2.4GHz R/C systemPlace the transmitter and the receiver close to each other within one (1) meter.If oil aircraft, please connect the power of receiver to other channel at first, and then plug it to BATT after frequency bind.1. plug the short- circuit plug into the Receiver in the position of BATT. Connect the ESC to receiver for electricity supply, which results to the indicator light glitters.2. Press the frequency bind button, then turn on the transmitter' s power. 6. The indicator light turns bright again, which means that the radio system can work normally now.3. the indicator light of the receiver will light, which indicates that the frequency bind is successful. 4. Unplug the short-circuit, the indicator light glitters.5. Press frequency bind button again to get it rebound. After the indicator light flashes for a few seconds, it turns green, the transmitter get into working mode.
www.art-tech.com 131 1Before using trainer function, you should first bind the frequency of the master(teacher) transmitter to the receiver, adjust the same aircraft to respectively.Before entering into the next step, please make sure the reverse switches and mode settings are set correctly. Make sure that the master transmitter and the receiver have been bound (frequency bind) The using of trainer function the binding process of the master transmitter and the slave transmitter 3. Wait Until the indicator of the master transmitter turns red and the slave transmitter turns green, which means the binding of the two transmitter has been completed,you can use the trainer function now.1. Press the frequency bind button of the master transmitter, turn on the power, the indicator flashes.2. Press the frequency bind button of the slave transmitter, put the slave near the master. turn on the power of the salve, the indicator flashes.Note: using the trainer function, the mater transmitter and the slave transmitter should be in the same mode. VA,VB is controlled by the master transmitter. Before flying, the reverse switches of the two transmitter must be correct,and then fine-tuning knob should be adjusted to achieve the effect that when switching control, there are no changing in servo positions. When holding the TRN switch of the master transmitter, the indicator of the salve transmitter flashes , the slave transmitter can now control the plane; If holding the TRN switch of the slave transmitter, the indicator of the master transmitter flashes , this is only used for the slave to send prompt signal to the master. using of trainer function212Red light on Green light on
www.art-tech.com14The operating direction, neutral position, and steering angle of each servo are adjusted.ADJUSTMENTS5. Fly the plane and trim each servo.4. After all the linkages have been connected, recheck the operating direction, throw, etc.*Before flight, adjust the aircraft in accordance with the kit and engine instruction manuals.3. Check the engine throttle (speed adjustment) linkage. Change the servo horn installation position and hole position so that the throttle is opened fully when the throttle stick is set to HIGH (forward) and is closed fully when the throttle stick and throttle trim are set for maximum slow (backward position and lower position, respectively).2. Check the aileron, elevator, and rudder neutral adjustment and left-right (up-down) throw. Check that when trimmed to the center, the servo horn is perpendicular to the servo and check the neutral position of the fuselage control surfaces (aileron, elevator, rudder, etc.). If the neutral position has changed, reset it by adjusting the length of the rod with the linkage rod adjuster.When the throw is unsuitable (different from steering angle specified by the kit instruction manual), adjust it by changing the servo horn and each control surface horn rod.ADJUSTMENT PROCEDUREBefore making any adjustments, set all the SERVO REVERSER switches on the front of the transmitter to the lower (NOR) position. (Switch the switches with a small screwdriver, etc.) Turn on the transmitter and receiver power switches and make the following adjustments:1. Check the direction of operation of each servo If a servo operates in the wrong direction, switch its SERVO REVERSER switch. (The direction of operation can be changed without changing the linkage.) * Note that the direction of the aileron servo is easily mistaken.The jack on the left side of the transmitter can be connected to the computer via a simulation cable , the beginner can practise flying on the computer. This learning process can make the green hand be familiar with the operation and reduce the damage, please refer to the specific CD-ROM for more information.The using of computer-controlled interface
