INSTRUCTION

MANUAL

The AnyLink SLT 2.4GHz Radio
Adapter allows nearly any R/C transmitter

(Tx) to bind with Tactic’s ultra-small, lightweight,
and inexpensive 2.4GHz receivers (Rx). Futaba® and
Hitec® brand transmitters must have a trainer jack. JR® and Spektrum®
transmitters must have a charge jack and trainer/D.S.C. jack. See page

15 for a Tx compatibility chart. Such transmitters can originally be

designed for use on 72MHz, 2.4GHz, FM, PCM, etc. The acceptable
flying range with AnyLink and a Tactic receiver is 1000 feet.

Read this manual in its entirety before use!
Damage resulting from misuse or modifi cation will
void your warranty.

MOUNTING ANYLINK

Mount AnyLink high on the rear of the Tx, and extend its antenna to
point upwards from the top of the Tx as much as possible. Rotate
the antenna as shown above. Two strips of hard locking fasteners
are included for attaching AnyLink to the rear of the host Tx.

INPUT POWER AND TRANSMITTER CONNECTIONS

Cables are included for attaching AnyLink to Futaba radios having
a square trainer jack, and compatible JR/Spektrum radios. Other
cables are available separately (see page 9). The cable with two
connectors is for Futaba. The cable with three connectors is for JR
and Spektrum. Using the appropriate cable, connect AnyLink to
the Tx as explained below.

Input Power Connection: AnyLink
requires power to be taken from
the host Tx through the appropriate
cable. Insert the cable’s universal­style servo plug into AnyLink’s INPUT
jack. Make sure the Tx battery is fully
charged prior to operation. Replace
weak alkaline batteries, or fully charge rechargeable batteries before
attempting a flight.

Futaba and Hitec Transmitters: Connect the cable’s trainer plug
to the Tx trainer jack. This connection will provide both power and
signal from the Tx to AnyLink.

An optional cable is required
to connect Hitec’s

Tx module pins

Aurora Tx to AnyLink
(see page 9). Remove
the antenna and module
from the Aurora Tx.Once
connected to AnyLink, attach
the cable’s second connector to the three
left-most module pins on the rear of the Tx,

Hitec Aurora Tx

as shown. Make SURE the metal terminals on
the cable face upwards when connecting to the Tx.

WARNING: Failure to insert the cable connector properly
can damage the AnyLink and the transmitter!

JR and Spektrum Transmitters: Connect the cable’s “Signal

Plug” to the transmitter’s trainer/D.S.C. jack, as shown below. This
should cause the Tx logic circuit to turn on automatically, which is
normal, and create the signal connection from the Tx to AnyLink.
Do NOT connect the remaining power plug to the Tx at this time.

IMPORTANT! Make sure all connections between

AnyLink and the host Tx are solid physically and cannot
easily become dislodged at any time. Otherwise, power or
signal loss could occur resulting in a loss of control of the
aircraft. Never operate a model with weak Tx batteries as loss
of control could result!

ANYLINK OPERATION

IMPORTANT! Remove the propeller from the airplane

prior to operating AnyLink with the radio system.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury if the motor
unexpectedly turns during setup.

1. Remove the Rf module or crystal from the host Tx if possible.
Leave the Tx’s own antenna in a retracted or folded position.

AnyLink’s own antenna will transmit the signal to the Tactic Rx.

2. Make sure 72MHz computer radios are set to PPM mode.

3. Move the Tx throttle stick to the minimum position.

4. Futaba and Hitec transmitters:
the option to transmit a signal when Tx power is turned ON, make
sure “YES” is selected. Turning the Tx power switch ON will supply
power to the Tx and AnyLink simultaneously. Listen for AnyLink to
beep ONCE when power is applied to confirm it’s configured for
Futaba/Hitec transmitters. Turn the Tx power switch ON and listen for
tones from AnyLink. If AnyLink beeped twice, skip to the CHANNEL
MAPPING section below. Otherwise, skip to step 6.

5. JR and Spektrum transmitters: With the cable’s “Signal Plug”
connected to the Tx trainer/D.S.C. jack, connecting the cable’s

“Power Plug” to the Tx charge jack will automatically turn on

AnyLink. Listen for AnyLink to beep TWICE when power is applied

to confirm it’s configured for JR/Spektrum transmitters.

IMPORTANT! Do NOT turn the JR or Spektrum Tx

power switch to the ON position at any time! This will
cause AnyLink to stop sending a signal to the Tactic Rx,
resulting in a loss of control of the model. The JR/Spektrum Tx
power switch should ALWAYS remain in the OFF position when
controlling a model with AnyLink.

Connect the “Power Plug” to the Tx charge jack and listen for tones
from AnyLink. If AnyLink beeped once, skip to the CHANNEL
MAPPING section. Otherwise continue to step 6.

6. Confirm that AnyLink’s LED is now on. Apply power to the Rx and
servos. Move the Tx sticks to determine if all controls in the model
are mapped correctly as shown in this table. If mapped correctly, skip
to the TACTIC RECEIVER section on page 6. If some channels are
NOT mapped properly, go to the CHANNEL MAPPING section below.

CHANNEL MAPPING

AnyLink includes two channel mapping sequences: one is for both

Futaba and Hitec radios, and another is used for both JR and
Spektrum radios. To manually set AnyLink’s channel mapping to
properly match the Tx being used:

1. Remove power from the Rx and servos in the model.

2. Center the Tx rudder trim.

3. Turn the Futaba or Hitec Tx power switch OFF. For JR or
Spektrum radios, only disconnect AnyLink’s “Power Plug” from the

Tx charge jack.

4. Move the Tx rudder (left) stick to the right-bottom or left-bottom
corner and HOLD IN THIS POSITION.

5. Turn the Futaba or Hitec Tx power switch ON. For JR or
Spektrum radios, re-connect the “Power Plug” to the Tx charge
jack. AnyLink’s LED will turn on.

6. Wait 5 seconds for AnyLink’s LED to flash three times ● ● ●
with tones to indicate the CHANNEL MAPPING mode has been
entered.
