PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY

If there are any special regulations for using 2.4GHz radio systems at your ﬂ ying site, please obey all regulations.

2.4GHz is very different than frequencies of the past. Please keep the model in sight at all times as large objects can block the RF signal. Also keep in mind that objects such as wire fences and wire mesh might also cause signal loss.

NEVER grip or shroud the transmitter antenna when ﬂ ying as this degrades RF quality and could cause loss of control.

CHANGING TRANSMITTING PROTOCOL OF YOUR TX-610 TRANSMITTER

Your TX-610 is capable of using Tactic brand receivers. In doing so one must simply change protocols from R-0 to R-1 in the transmitters programing.

1. With the transmitter off, place the HOLD switch in the on position.

2. While holding the trainer switch forward and pressing down on the MODE button turn the transmitter on.

3. You will see R-0 or R-1 ﬂ ash in in the LCD screen. R-0 allows you to ﬂ y products not supported with a Tactic brand receiver and R-1 allows you to ﬂ y products using a Tactic Receiver.

4. Use the D/R switch to toggle between the two selections.

5. Turn the HOLD switch off to begin operation.

TURNING THE TRANSMITTER ON

When turning your TX610 on, make sure the switches located near and at the top of the transmitter are switched into the “back” position. Also make sure the transmitters throttle stick is in the low position or a safety warning alarm will sound and a T-H will appear on the LCD screen. Lowering the stick will turn the alarm off. If you hear a warning beep and see the icons either 3D or T-H on the LCD screen, you have the UP-1 switch or HOLD switches activated. Please turn them off (back).

Your TX610 has two different setup modes, system setup and model setup. These menus change slightly between airplane and helicopter model types so we will outline the two types individually.
