CHARGE THE NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERY BEFORE USING
•Connect theTX jack of the FBC-2(F)
charger
to
the
charging
jack of the transmitter and the RX jack of the charger to
the receiver/servo nickel-cadmium battery and connect the
Charger to an AC 117V (220V, 240V) socket.
The TX and RX LE D of the charger will be lighted to indicate
that the battery is being charged.
•Charging time is normally about 15 hours. When the battery
has not been used for some time, charge it for about 20 hours.
•The
transmitter
and receiver nickel-cadmium batteries can
be charged simultaneously or separately.
•The
usable
time
is
normally
about 10 times at a rate
of
10
minutes/time.
•Be sure that the batteries are connected to the proper charging jacks of the FBC-2(F) charger. If the receiver/servo nickelcadmium battery (NR-4E) is connected to the TX jack, the
battery
will
be
rapidly charged and a large
current
will
flow
and the battery and charger will be damaged.

Adjust knob
•Unlocked
•Set the length by turning the
entire knob and then lock
•Refer to Fig.2 for the operation of each channel and the name of
each part.
•When the power switch is set to ON, the pointer of the level meter
will deflect. Since this indicates the antenna output, it should deflect
to graduation 7. Since this indication is different when the antenna
is contracted and when it is extended fully, check the indication
when the antenna is extended fully. (The indication will also be different when the antenna is held in your hand and when free )
•Next,
push the battery check switch. The
level
meter
will
indicate
the battery voltage at this time.
The battery is OK if the meter pointer deflects to the green zone.
Charge the battery when the pointer deflects to the boundary between the green and red zones.
•Using dual travel
When the dual travel switch is set to ON, the steering angle can be
made small within the range of the hatched lines of Fig.3. The steering angle is variable within the range maximum, 90% of total operating angle, minimum 40%.
•The dual travel aileron switch should normally be set to OFF Set this
switch to ON when desiring to make the aileron steering angle small such
as slow roll, etc Then set the steering angle with the trimmer
*The dual travel elevator switch should normally be set to OFF But when
desiring a large steering angle such as spins, etc , set the switch to ON and
adjust the steering angle with the horn adjuster trimmer for level flight.
Kick-up will occur and the elevator steering angle will become large when
the switch is OFF
•The
receiver
channel order
is
shown
in
Fig-.5.
Since each lead wire of the connectors is color coded, connect the
servos in accordance with these colors. Attaching the accessory channel tabs is convenient.

•The antenna wire is color coded by frequency (band).
•The connector wiring order is shown in Fig.6.
•Pack the entire receiver in sponge and mount so that the
antenna wire is as straight as possible.
•Refer to Fig.4 when mounting the servo.
