[. . . ] This causes no problems during flight, but makes shading your model on the ground very important. Cover the canopy with a white towel; or better yet, park your airplanes in the shade. Tip: It is important to note that lighter covering colors will absorb less heat whereas darker colors will absorb more heat. We had to avoid mounting 72MHz receivers near anything that might produce RF noise. [. . . ] 3) Please do not grasp the transmitter module's antenna during flight. Doing so may degrade the quality of the radio frequency transmission. Range Check the Radio It is extremely important to range check your models prior to each flying session. This enables you to ensure that everything is functioning as it should and to obtain maximum enjoyment from your time flying. The TM-7 transmitter module incorporates a system that reduces its power output and allows you to perform such a range check. 1 2 Turn on the transmitter. you Please make sure thatflyingdo not push and hold the F/S, Range switch when as this reduces the power output of the transmitter and reduces the overall range of your transmitter. WARNING Instruction Manual Applicable systems: T7U, T8U, T9C and T9Z After the radio frequency link has been established (as indicated by either a solid green LED or a blinking green LED), press and hold the "F/S, Range" switch located on the rear of the TM-7 transmitter module. As indicated by the blinking red LED, the radio frequency power has been reduced to allow for the range check. *Note:Donotpressandholdthe"F/S, Range"switchpriortoturning onthetransmitter. ThiswillalterthestatusoftheF/Ssettingsas notedpreviously. Inordertoavoidthissituation, pleasewaitfora Other precautions When utilizing the trainer function of the transmitter as an instructor, please do not switch to the student's control unit until the RF is active after turning the transmitter on. Failure to adhere to this procedure may result in a malfunction.

CAUTION 2 3 With the transmitter on, and the green LED blinking, turn on the receiver. 6 If the fuselage is made of conductive materials such as metal and carbon, the antennas part MUST be positioned so that they exit the fuselage. Additionally, do not attach the antenna itself to this fuselage. *Forexample, therearemanytypesofgliderswhichusecarbonfuselage.

De-activating the F/S (Failsafe) As noted above, it is also possible to de-activate the failsafe setting of the receiver. Depress the F/S button on the rear of the transmitter while turning the transmitter's power on. Continue holding the button until the green LED begins to glow solidly and the red LED blinks. 1 2 3 Ensure that the transmitter is set to the PPM (pulse position modulation) mode. Please consult the respective owner's manual for your particular transmitter for information on how to do so.

WARNING 4 5 Solid Solid Solid Blink Blink If your model includes metal conductive items which may impact the receiver's ability to clearly receive the radio frequency signal, we suggest mounting the receiver so that the receiver antennas exit both sides of the model. This will allow the best radio frequency signal condition at any flying attitude. Ensure that the antennas are at least 1/2" away from any conductive materials such as metal and carbon. Please note: this is not applicable to the coaxial portion of the antenna. [. . . ]
