ETB62A-2.4GHz is a 6 channel full-scale 2.4GHZ RC device. It adopts the technology of
direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS), FDMA, CDMA and frequency hopping to have
good anti-interference, stability and reliability.
It can be used for all ordinary aeroplanes, delta wing aeroplanes, gliders, coaxial
helicopters, general helicopter and CCPM helicopter models, and so on. It has 6 channel
output and simulator signal interface. It also has such functions as Dual Rate(D/R), Mode
I and Mode II exchange and low voltage alarm.
The most characteristic feature of ETB62A-2.4GHz RC device is the cordless trainer
function. It means flight instruction can be realized without the trouble of cord
connection and this makes learning easier for green hand.
PRECAUTIONS FOR KEEPING

Always 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.

RUDDER OPERATION
When the rudder stick is moved to the right, the
rudder moves to the right and the nose points to the
right, relative to the direction of flight. 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 OPERATION
When 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 OPERATION
When 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 OPERATION
When 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).

The process of frequency bind for 2.4GHz R/C system
Place 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.

Before 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.

The operating direction, neutral position, and steering angle of each servo are
adjusted.
ADJUSTMENTS
5. 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 PROCEDURE
Before 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.
