[. . . ] ATV-L This trimmer adjusts the rudder travel in left direction when the rudder reverse switch is in the NORM position. Adjustment range is the same as that of aileron ATV Transmitter module The frequency, frequency band and modulation method can be changed by changing this module. Trimmer panel This panel is removed by sliding it in the direction of the OPEN arrow. · USING THE TRANSMITTER Before using the transmitter, charge the NiCd battery. ·Connect the DIN connector of the FBC-2L charger to the charging jack of the transmitter and the 3P connector to the receiver servo NiCd battery (NR-4H), and plug the charger into an AC110V outlet as shown in Fig. The Tx, Rx charging indicator LED illuminate to indicate that the battery is being charged. But if the battery has not be used for some time, charge it for about 20 hours. (If the battery is left in the discharged state for a long time, its capacity and life will be adversely affected. ) ·The transmitter and receiver NiCd batteries can be charged simultaneously, or independently. ·The battery can usually be used about 10 times at a rate of about 10 minutes/time. Pull the first stage of the antenna up and turn it counterclockwise until it locks as shown in Fig. ·If the antenna is not locked, it will not be connected to the internal circuitry. When it is set to ON while pulling it forward, the level meter pointer will deflect, indicating the antenna output. The transmitter is OK if the pointer deflects to graduation 7 with the antenna extended fully. The pointer indication is different when the antenna is contracted and when it is extended fully. [The pointer indication will also be different when the antenna is grasped with your hand and when it is not grasped. ) When the antenna is contracted, the transmitter does not deliver an output even though the level meter pointer deflects. The level meter pointer will indicate the battery voltage at this time. The battery is OK if the meter pointer deflects to within the green zone. If the pointer deflects to near the boundary between the green and red zones, recharge the battery. function The servos can be operated without transmitting by connecting the D. S. C. This allows adjustment of the aircraft while awaiting your turn to fly. (Use this function with the power switch of the transmitter set to the OFF position. Function will be operative when the power switch is set to ON, it will be meaningless. ) ·Using dual travel (DR --aileron, DR --elevator) When the dual travel switch is set to ON, the steering angle becomes small (within the range indicated by the hatched lines in Fig. The steering angle can be varied from 40% (minimum) to 100% (maximum) of the total steering angle by adjusting the trimmer on the trimmer panel for channel 8) next to the switch with a screwdriver. However when desiring to make the spin and other steering angles large, set it to ON and adjust the horn, adjusters, and trimmers for level flight. [. . . ] Connect the intermediate cord with lug to terminal C and fastening it to the side of the fuselage as shown in Fig. ·All the servos, except the landing gear servo, are designed and manufactured to the same standards and can be used at any channel. This set is especially resistant to noise, but is not completely noise-free. ·When used in seaplanes and boats, pay careful attention to waterproofing. [. . . ]
