Operating Instructions

Safety Notes

!
These operating instructions are an essential
part of the product, and contain important informa-
tion and safety notes. Store them where you can
refer to them at any time. Be sure to pass them on
to the new owner if you dispose of the product.
!
Read and observe the safety notes!
Please read these instructions carefully.
Do not attempt to use the system until you have
read right through these operating instructions and
the additional safety notes (part of the instructions
or supplied separately).
!
On no account make technical modifications to
this radio control system. Use genuine accessories
and replacement parts exclusively - especially
transmitter batteries, crystals and aerials.
!
If you intend to use the transmitter in conjunc-
tion with products of other makes, ensure that they
are of good quality and in proper condition. Any
new or changed arrangement should be tested
carefully before use, and a range check carried out.
Don't use the system if a problem is apparent; seek
out the problem and eliminate it first.
!
Warning!
Radio-controlled models are not toys in the usual
sense of the term. Building them, installing the RC
system and operating them safely require technical
expertise, care and a responsible, safety-conscious
attitude. Errors or neglect can result in serious
damage. However, since neither the manufacturer
nor the retailer has control over the way you build
and operate your models, we are unable to accept
liability for your actions. All we can do is expressly
point out these hazards.
!
A model aircraft flying out of control is capable
of causing serious damage to property and per-
sonal injury. It is fundamentally essential that you
take out suitable third party liability insurance to
cover your modelling activities.
!
Always keep to the correct sequence when
switching your RC system on and off, otherwise
your motor may burst into life unexpectedly:
1. When switching on:
first switch the transmitter ON,
then switch the receiver ON,
connect the flight battery, or switch power ON
2. When switching off:
first disconnect the flight battery, or switch power
OFF
receiver OFF
transmitter OFF
!
Have your system - especially the transmitter
and receiver - checked at regular intervals (every
two or three years) by an authorised MULTIPLEX
Service Centre.
!
Operate the transmitter only within the permis-
sible temperature range (
