make the radio controller ( R/C ) out of control. Make sure moving direction of all servos be same with the operating direction. If not, please adjusting direction first. The shutdown sequence must be to first disconnect the receiver battery then to switch off the transmitter. If the transmitter is switched off while the receiver is still powered, it may lead to uncontrolled movement or engine start and may cause an accident. In particular, the 2.4G R/C FHSS system will affect the plane or the car nearby after you turn on the transmitter. Be sure to set the Fail Safe function on working situation, after finish F/S every time, please following turn off the transmitter, Don't turn on the transmitter halfway. Do not operate outdoors on rainy days, run through puddles of water or use when visibility is limited. Should any type of moisture (water or snow) enter any component of the system, erratic operation and loss of control may occur. Do not operate in the following places. -Near other sites where other radio control activity may occur. -Near people or roads.on any pond when passenger boats are present. -Near high tension power lines or communication broadcasting antennas. Interference could cause loss of control. Improper installation of your Radio Control System in your model could result in serious injury. Do not operate this R/C system when you are tired, not feeling well or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.your judgment is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury to yourself as well as others. Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of the model that will generate heat while the model is operating or immediately after its use. These parts may be very hot and can cause serious empyrosis. Always perform a operating range check prior to using. Problems with the radio control system as well as improper installation in a model could cause loss of control.(simple range test method) Have a friend hold the model, or clamp it down or place it where the wheels or prop cannot come in contact with any object. Walk away and check to see if the servos follow the movement of the controls on the transmitter. Should you notice any abnormal operation, and do not operate the model. Also check to be sure the model memory matches the model in use. Before turn on the power: Always checking the throttle trigger on the transmitter at the neutral position and TH trim too. When making adjustments to the model, do so with the engine not running or the motor disconnected. You may unexpectedly lose control and create a dangerous situation. The 2.4GHz radio band has a completely different behavior than previously used lower frequency bands. Keep always your model in sight as a large object can block the RF signal and lead to loss of control. The 2.4GHz RF signal propagates in straight lines and cannot get around objects on its path. Never grip the transmitter antenna when operating a model as it degrades significantly the RF signal quality and strength and may cause loss of control and danger Always turn on the transmitter first then the receiver. When turning off the system, always turn off the receiver first then the transmitter. This is to avoid having the receiver on itself as it may pick a wrong signal and lead to erratic servo movements. This is particularly important for electric powered models as it may unexpectedly turn on the motor and lead to injuries or death. 5. Transmitter Specifications 2 www.berrc.com www.berrc.com 3
