Please don't ceaselessly turn and off the switch in 2 seconds,
if you do this way, the circuit board will be heated.
Thank you very much for purchasing our TRCM optional electric retract set,
all our products were passed strict QC before they shipped out to the customers.
In order to avoid probably trouble happen, we still would like you to follow the steps
below before you assemble our electric retracts to your plane.
1. Connecting the circuit board to the battery and receiver.
2. Turn on the radio control to check the lights
on the circuit board, if the lights turn on green
or turn on red orderly，0.5 second after each
from the right to the left and all the lights will
turn off after 15 seconds, then the circuit will
work normally. Otherwise the circuit will be a
defective one if you make sure the setting on
your radio control are correct, please don't use
it but contact with your supplier in time.
3. Link the electric retract units to the
circuit boards after the above two
steps, check again the electric retracts
to see if they can work normally or not.
