Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Commander advanced 2.4GHz spread spectrum radio control system. This system was specifically-designed with the latest wireless and Thunder Tiger advanced-programming technology to meet R/C model requirements. With spread spectrum and smart frequency-hopping system, the Commander radio system delivers precision & reliability control without any interference risks.

Features

■

2.4GHz Frequency hopping spread spectrum wireless system

Built with advanced frequency hopping program on the spread spectrum base to deliver system safety and reliability without interference risks.

Security ID binding link

A binding feature is included with the Commander 2.4 GHz spread spectrum system ensuring transmitter and receiver only recognize each other to prevent interferences from other controllers.

Range checking function

A range checking button on the transmitter reduces transmitter signal for pre-flight range check. It is recommended to perform range check before every flight.

Antenna Flight Mode Switch:

(1) Take Off Mode: When the GPS antenna receives 7 signals from the satellite, it will switch to the

GPS mode automatically.

(2) Landing Assist: The Landing Assist will automatically decelerate and stabilize the drone when in

landing, the function will be activated when drone is within 2M from the ground.

(3) Return Home: The Return Home feature will autopilot the drone back to the original take off point

and proceed the landing automatically.

IOC (Intelligent Orientation Control):

(1) IOC OFF: When IOC switches to the “OFF” mode, the IOC function will be dismissed. (2) IOC ON: When IOC switches to the “ON” mode, the drone will be heading locked intelligently and

oriented to its original take off point

Radio installation

Before installing your radio into your model, connect the receiver, servos, and switch harness/battery pack as shown. In addition to checking for proper operation, this "bench test" helps you become familiar with the operation of your radio. Begin by turning on the transmitter, and then turn on the receiver switch. Make sure that all servos and trims levers are operating, and take a few moments to "play" with your system. After completion of your bench testing, turn off the receiver, followed by the transmitter.

CAUTION

To prevent loss of radio range do not kink or cut the gray wire, do not bend or cut the metal tip, and do not bend or cut the white wire at the end of the metal tip.

HELPFUL HINT

1. The two antennas must be kept as straight as possible. Otherwise it will reduce the effective range.

2. The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other.

Functions

The Commander transmitter was specifically-designed to operate air models. Basic functions for this transmitter are listed below.

NOTE

Binding process may take 2~4 seconds to execute. If binding fails, the LED light on the receiver will turn red. Please turn off power and repeat the above steps from a) ~ e).

1. Power On

a) Turn On/Off

After installing the transmitter batteries, turn on the transmitter power by sliding up the switch located on the front middle position of the transmitter. The LED light turns “GREEN”. To turn off the power, slide down the switch, the LED indicator light will turn off.

b) Low Battery Power Warning

If the transmitter battery power is too low, a “Bi--Bi--” warning tone will be emitted and the LED indicator will flash “GREEN”. It’s very dangerous to fly the model with low battery transmitter. Please change the batteries immediately.

2. Binding process

A binding feature is included in the Commander 2.4 GHz spread spectrum system to ensure the transmitter and receiver bind properly and prevent interference from other controllers. To bind Tx/Rx, please proceed as per the following:

a) Press and hold “Binding SW” button located on the

transmitter. b) Simultaneously, turn on the power. c) Release the “Binding SW” button. The binding LED

will blink Green / Red, indicating the transmitter is

binding. d) Press and hold the BINDING push button on the

Receiver, plug the battery power connector on the

receiver to turn power on. Then release the

BINDING button.

e) Successful binding is confirmed by the binding LED

changing from Green / Red to a Green flash on the

transmitter. The LED will turn green on the receiver. Upon confirmation, turn off power of

the receiver and transmitter and launch normal start-up procedures.

3. Range-Check

A built-in range-check function on the transmitter reduces signal strength for pre-flight rangecheck. When this function is activated, signal strength is weak. Use the weak signal strength for pre-flight range-check to confirm operation of wireless radio control system is normal. It is recommended to perform a complete range-check before every flight.

NOTE

Never push the “Binding SW” button during flight. Flying under weak signal strength will result in signal loss and model crash.

Range-Checking” procedure: a) Turn both transmitter and model power on and ensure the system is functioning properly. b) Take the transmitter to a distance of about 20~30m from the model. c) Press and hold the “Binding SW” button. Signal strength is now weak. The transmitter buzzer

will signal with a “Bi - - Bi” warning tone. Please do not release “Binding SW” at this stage. d) Operate both left and right sticks to drive movement on the servos.Visually confirm that all

movements are accurate and signal is interference-free. e) Release “Binding SW” button. Signal reverses back to full strength and warning tone stops.

And the warning tone also will stop in the same time. f) Model is ready to fly.
