### 15 According to the description of the battery to be used and its exclusive charger, please use it after carrying out full charge. We recommend charging the batteries with the charger supplied with your system. Note that the use of a fast charger may damage the batteries by overheating and dramatically reduce their lifetime. When HT5F1700B is chosen, HBC-3A (4) is recommended. When charging FT2F2100B, Please make sure to remove the battery from the system to charge it. Charger for this battery is recommended to use LBC-4E5. CHARGING THE BATTERIES (When the rechargeable battery option is used) Charging Your System’s Batteries 1. Connect the transmitter charging jack and batteries to the transmitter and receiver connectors of the charger. 2. Plug the charger into a wall socket. 3. Check that the charger LED lights.

These are included to serve only as general guidelines, and are not intended to replace or supersede the information provided by the battery and/or charger manufacturer. For complete information, please refer to the instructions that are included with the battery pack(s) and/or chargers that accompany the products purchased.  Do not allow children to charge battery packs without adult supervision.  Do not charge battery packs that have been damaged in any way. We strongly suggest frequent inspection

of the battery packs to ensure that no damage has occurred.  Do not to allow batteries to overheat! If overheated, disconnect the battery from the charger immediately

and allow to cool.  
	Y	
!		
	
		  Do not deep cycle NiMH batteries as permanent damage could result.  Never charge batteries on a surface that may become hot, or may be impacted by the heat.  Immediately end the charging procedure if either the batteries or charger itself become overly hot.  NiMH cells do not exhibit the “memory effect” like NiCd cells, so little cycling is needed. Store NiMH

packs with some voltage remaining on the cells (refer to battery supplier).  NiMH cells have a self-discharge rate of approximately 20-25% (compared to 15% for NiCd batteries). It is

important to recharge NiMH batteries immediately prior to use.  Never connect the battery in reverse. Reverse connection will cause the battery to overheat or will damage

the inside of the charger.  Do not add an additional charge after charging.  Never charge with a current exceeding the nominal capacity (lC) of the rechargeable battery.  If a battery is charged with a current exceeding 1C, the battery will overheat and deteriorate.  Do not connect two battery packs or more to one output terminal.  Avoid extremely cold and hot places and the direct sunlight when you charge batteries.  It is recommended to perform charging within the 10 ~ 30°C (50-85°F) range. Otherwise, it may cause

abnormal charging and overheat.

During this mode, the RF power is reduced in order to test the operational range of the T8J. To activate the Power Down Mode and Perform A Range Check: 1) To activate the “Power Down Mode” please hold down the JOG KEY and then turn the transmitter switch on. A power mode screen comes out. JOG KEY is pushed where Power Down is chosen. When this mode is active the Purple LED on the Lighting front of the transmitter will provide users with an audible and visual indication that the transmitter is in the “Power Down Mode”.

Audibly, the transmitter will beep one time every three seconds. Visually, the LCD screen will display

“POWER DOWN MODE”. The words “POWER DOWN MODE” will blink as an additional reminder that the transmitter is in the “Power Down Mode”. 2) With the “Power Down Mode” activated, walk away from the model while simultaneously operating the

It is also a good idea to waterproof the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and securing the open end of the bag with a rubber band before wrapping it with foam rubber. If you accidentally get moisture or fuel inside the receiver, you may experience intermittent operation or a crash. If in doubt, return the receiver to our service center for service. *The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other. *The main purpose of the photo demonstrates how the antenna should be placed.

**Off Solid** No signal reception **Solid Off** Receiving signals **Blink Off** Receiving signals but ID is unmatched **Alternate blink** Unrecoverable error (Memory, etc.) 

### Please refer the table below for LED status vs receiver's condition. 

### LINK PROCEDURE (T8J transmitter/R2008SB): Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start operation, the receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter with which it is being paired. Once the link is made, the ID code is stored in the receiver and no further linking is necessary unless the receiver is to be used with another transmitter. When you purchase additional R2008SB receivers, this procedure is necessary; otherwise the receiver will not work. 1. Bring the transmitter and the receiver close to each other, within 20 inches (half meter). 2. Turn on the transmitter. 3. Turn on the receiver. 4. Press and hold the Link switch more than two (2) seconds. When the link is complete, the LED in the

receiver changes to solid green. When the ID cannot be read due to the surrounding environment, try reading it with the transmitter and receiver touched.

transmitter. In this case, even if the receiver's LED stays solid green, unfortunately the receiver might have established a link to one of other transmitters. This is very dangerous if you do not notice this situation. In order to avoid the problem, we strongly recommend you to doublecheck whether your receiver is really under control by your transmitter by giving the stick input and then checking the servo response.

WARNING After the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check if the receiver to be linked is really

under the control by the transmitter to be linked. Do not perform the linking procedure with motor's main wire connected or with the engine operating as

it may result in serious injury.

### 22 S.BUS INSTALLATION This set uses the S.BUS system. The wiring is as simplified and clean mounting as possible, even with models that use a large number of servos. In addition, the wings can be quicklyinstalled to the fuselage without any erroneous wiring by the use of only one simple wire, even when there are a large number of servos used.£"	;~];

	!		 Do not insert or remove the servo connector while the receiver power is ON. Since the S.BUS servo switches the operation mode automatically according to the type of signal (S.BUS signal/PWM signal) from the receiver, if the connector is inserted or removed while the power is ON, an S.BUS connected servo will be erroneously recognized and may stop.

### 24 WARNING & ERROR DISPLAYS An alarm or error indication may appear on the display of your transmitter for a number of reasons, including when the transmitter power switch is turned on, when the battery voltage is low, and several others. Each display has a unique sound associated with it, as described below. LOW BATTERY ERROR:Warning sound: Continuous beep until transmitter is powered off. The LOW BATTERY warning is displayed when the transmitter battery voltage drops below 4.1V. (5CELL mode 4.9V)
Land your model as soon as possible before loss of control due to a dead battery.
MIXING ALERT WARNING: Warning sound: Several times of beeps (repeated until problem resolved or overridden) The MIXING ALERTwarning is displayed to alert you whenever you turn on the transmitter with any of the mixing switches active. This warning will disappear when the offending switch or control is deactivated. Switches for which warnings will be issued at power-up are listed below. Throttle cut, idle-down, snap roll, airbrake, throttle-stick and condition. If turning a switch OFF does not stop the mixing warning: When the warning does not stop even when the mixing switch indicated by the warning display on the screen is turned off, the functions described previously probably use the same switch and the OFF direction setting is reversed. In short, one of the mixings described above is not in the OFF state. In this case, reset the warning display by pressing both + /

- KEY at the same time. Next, change one of the switch settings of the duplicated mixings. *If "ESC mode" is chosen by "THR.CUT", a THR CUT will not start warning. BACKUP ERROR:Warning sound: Several times of beeps (repeated continuously) The BACKUP ERROR warning occurs when the transmitter memory is lost for any reason. If this occurs, all of the data will be reset when the power is turned on again. #
