[. . . ] All instructions, warranties and other collateral documents are subject to change at the sole discretion of Horizon Hobby, Inc. MEAnInG Of SPEcIAl lAnGUAGE: The following terms are used throughout the product literature to indicate various levels of potential harm when operating this product: nOTIcE: Procedures, which if not properly followed, create a possibility of physical property damage AND a little or no possibility of injury. CAUTIOn: Procedures, which if not properly followed, create the probability of physical property damage AND a possibility of serious injury. WARnInG: Procedures, which if not properly followed, create the probability of property damage, collateral damage, and serious injury OR create a high probability of superficial injury. [. . . ] After you've set up your model, it's important to rebind the system so the true low throttle is programmed. When the HI/LO rate switch is in the "HI" position, 100% travel is achieved on the aileron, elevator and rudder channels. When the switch is in the "LO" position a reduced travel of 70% is achieved on the aileron, elevator and rudder channels. This is useful allowing the aircraft to have a high control rate (switch in the "HI" position) for aggressive maneuvers and a low control rate (switch in "LO" position) for smooth, precise maneuvers. Afterthesystemmakesaconnection, iflossofsignal occurs, the AR600 Smartsafe drives the throttle servo only to its preset Smartsafe position (low throttle) that was set during binding. Consequently, if your system draws more than three amps continuous or five amps for short durations, a single battery pack with a single switch harness plugged into the receiver for power will be inadequate. It will be necessary to use multiple packs with multiple switches and multiple leads plugged into the receiver. If using a regulator, it's important the above tests are done for an extended period of 5 minutes. This heat causes the regulator to increase resistance, which in turn causes even more heat to build up (thermal runaway). While a regulator may provide adequate power for a short duration, it's important to test its ability over time as the regulator may not be able to maintain voltage at significant power levels. For really large aircraft or complex models (for example 35% and larger or jets), multiple battery packs with multiple switch harnesses are necessary or in many cases one of the commercially available power boxes/ busses is recommended. No matter what power systems you choose, always carry out test #1 above making sure that the receiver is constantly provided with 4. The latest generation of Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries incorporates a new chemistry mandated to be more environmentally friendly. These batteries, when charged with peak detection fast chargers, have a tendency to false peak (not fully charge) repeatedly. If using NiMH packs be especially cautious when charging making absolutely sure that the battery is fully charged. It is recommended to use a charger that can display total charge capacity. Note the number of mAh put into a discharged pack to verify it has been charged to full capacity. Q: After I've bound the receiver to my transmitter, which do I turn on first when I want to fly?A: Either one, unless you are using a Smart Bind receiver such as the AR6400 or AR6400L. With a Smart Bind receiver, the transmitter must be turned on approximately 5 seconds before the receiver. Q: Sometimes the system takes longer to connect or doesn't connect at all. A: In order for a DSM system to connect, the receiver must receive a large number of uninterrupted signal packets from the transmitter.
