2.4GHz 6CH Radio Control System
No.8610
Congratulations on your purchase of the Innovator TS6+ advanced 6
Channel 2.4GHz spread spectrum radio control system. This system was
specifically designed with the latest wireless and TT
advanced-programming technology (iFHSS+) to meet R/C helicopters
requirements. With spread spectrum and smart frequency-hopping
system, the Innovator TS6+ radio system delivers precision & reliability in
control without any interference risks.
This transmitter is exclusive for controlling the Innovator R/C helicopter;
no receiver is included in this package since the receiver is built-in in the
helicopter ICS control unit. So don’t need extra receiver. If you like to use
this transmitter to operate other models, you will need to acquire a
matching receiver.

Safety Power Cut-Off protecting function
To prevent accidental shutting-off the transmitter, a unique feature
guarantees the transmitter can not be turned off while the helicopter
power is on.
Auto Cut-off Function
In the event the transmitter power is let on after flight, the transmitter
will automatically cut-off power after a pre-set period of time to save
battery power.
Range checking function
A range checking button on the transmitter reduces transmitter
radiation power for doing range check before flight. It is
recommended to do this checking before each flight.

Installation
Functions
NOTE:
a)
b)
c)
d)
Use only same brand, fresh, alkaline cells.
Ensure all contacts in the battery holder are clean by using a pencil eraser
to gently remove any corrosion or dirt that may accumulate. It is
recommended to do this each time you install fresh cells into your
transmitter.
If using rechargeable 9.6V battery-pack. Remove the battery holder by
pulling out the connector from the transmitter. Then plug-in the
battery-pack connector to the transmitter.
When rechargeable batteries are installed in the transmitter, these can be
charged through the external charging jack located on the transmitter.
CAUTION:
a)
b)
c)
d)
Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries, they may explode!!
When charging rechargeable batteries, turn off the power switch before
charging. The charger plug must be of the correct type (“+” inside and
“-“ outside, type TAMIYA N-3U or equivalent). Incorrect charger plug
type may provoke an explosion, causing personal injuries and
damages.
Always ensure batteries are loaded in the correct polarity. If the
batteries are loaded incorrectly, the transmitter may be damaged.
When the transmitter is not used for any short / long period of time,
always remove the batteries from the transmitter.
The Innovator TS6+ transmitter was specifically-designed to operate with
the Innovator R/C helicopter. Basic functions for this transmitter are
indicated below.
1.Power On
1.1 Turn On/Off
After installing the transmitter batteries,
turn on the transmitter power by
pressing the “PWR” switch button
located on the front of the transmitter.
Release upon hearing a short “Beep”
tone confirming power is “On”. The LED
indicator will also turn red. To turn power
off, press the “PWR” button and release
upon hearing a long ‘Beep” tone,
confirming power is “Off’. The LED
indicator will also turn off.

1.2“Power Off Protection” function
Before operating the radio control model, always turn on first the
transmitter, then power on the model. After flight, always turn off the
model power first, followed by the transmitter. A built-in protecting
function in the Innovator TS6 prevents you from accidentally turning
off the transmitter while the model / helicopter power is still on.
1.3Auto Power-off
If the transmitter power is left on for 3 minutes after flight without
transmitting stick movement signals, the transmitter will
automatically cut-off to save battery power.
If the transmitter battery power is too low, a short “Bi-Bi-Bi…” warning
tone will buzz and the LED indicator will also flash. It’s very
dangerous to fly the model with a low battery transmitter. Land
immediately and change batteries.
1.4Low Battery Power warning
2.Stick Controls
3.Fly Mode Control Switch
4.Auto Rotation/CH6 Control Switch
5.Fly Mode POS Switch
This switch drives the 6th channel
control. On some models, it drives
the “Auto Rotation” function.
Both the left and right sticks are designed to drive the 4 channels on
the receiver/helicopter. Both Mode1 and Mode2 are available for the
Innovator TS6 transmitter. Control functions are indicated below:
Positions for both “Fly Mode” and “Auto
Rotation/CH6” control switches can be
interchanged. Default position is “R” with “Fly
Mode” switch located on the right-up position /
“Auto Rotation/CH6” switch is then located on
the left-up position. Both positions can be
reversed, with “Fly Mode” switch set on “L”
(left-up position), and “Auto Rotation/CH6”
switch set on “R” (right-up position).
2 additional “Fly Mode” and “Auto
Rotation/6CH” stickers are included in the
package for modifying original markings
indicated on the transmitter.
2 types of flying mode can be set up
with different flying parameters on
the Innovator control unit. Toggle
Mode switch between modes. The
switch is located on the upper right
position. You also can use the “Fly
Mode POS Switch” on the left side to
toggle changes.

NOTE:
Binding process may take 3~10 seconds to execute. If binding fails, the LED
light on the receiver will turn red. Please turn off power and repeat the above
steps from a) ~ e).

c)
d)
e)
Press and hold “Binding SW” button located on the right lower side
of the transmitter.
Simultaneously, turn on the power by pressing the ‘PWR” button
until a short ‘Bi” tone confirms power is on.
Release “Binding SW”. The binding LED will blink rapidly, indicating
the transmitter is binding.
To perform binding process from the Innovator R/C helicopter,
press and hold the push button on the Innovator helicopter, slide in
the battery pack to turn on the helicopter/receiver power. Binding
process will then start automatically.
Successful binding is confirmed by the binding LED changing from
a rapid blink to a slow flash on the transmitter. The LED will turn
green on the receiver. Upon confirmation, turn off power on the
helicopter and transmitter and launch normal start-up procedures.
7.Range-Check
Note:
Never push the “Binding SW” button during flight. Flying under weak signal
strength will result in signal loss and model crash.
6.Binding Process
A binding feature is included in the Innovator 2.4 GHz
spread spectrum system to ensure the transmitter and
receiver bind properly and prevent interference from
other controllers. With the Super Combo package, full
binding procedure has been completed at the factory
prior to shipping. To manually bind Tx/Rx, please
proceed as per the following steps:
A built-in range-check function on the transmitter reduces signal
strength for pre-flight. When this function is activated, signal strength is
weak. Use the weak signal strength for pre-flight range-check to
confirm the operation of the radio control system is normal. It is
recommended to perform a complete range-check procedure before
every flight.
step of “Range-Check” procedure:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
Turn both transmitter and helicopter power on and ensure the
system is functioning properly.
Take the transmitter to a distance of about 20~30m from the model
/ helicopter.
Press and hold the “Binding SW” button. Signal strength is now
weak. The transmitter buzzer will signal with a short “Bi-Bi-Bi”
warning tone and green LED blink. Please do not release “Binding
SW” button at this stage.
While still holding “”Binding SW” button, operate both left and right
sticks to drive movements on the helicopter’s control linkages.
Confirm that all movements are accurate and signal is
interference-free.
Release “Binding SW” button. Signal reverses back to full strength
and warning tone stops.
Helicopter is ready to fly.
8.Flying the Simulator
Use a suitable interface device to connect the mini USB port (located
on the back of the transmitter) to a personal computer and directly fly
the Innovator on the simulator (simulator software sold separately).

9.Training Course
Use a suitable “buddy” cable to plug into the
transmitter mini USB port and connect 2
transmitters (instructor and trainer) for flying
lessons. The instructor can give full control to the
trainer by holding down the “Trainer” button located
on the top-left side of the transmitter. When
released, full control is instantly returned to the
Instructor.
