1. Safety
1.1 Safety Symbols
Pay close attention to the following symbols and their meanings. Failure to follow these warnings could
cause damage, injury or death.
Danger · Not following these instructions may lead to serious injuries or death.
Warning · Not following these instructions may lead to major injuries.
Attention · Not following these instructions may lead to minor injuries.
1.2 Safety Guide
Prohibited
Mandatory
· Do not use the product at night or in bad weather like rain or thunderstorm. It
can cause erratic operation or loss of control.
· Do not use the product when visibility is limited.
· Do not use the product on rain or snow days. Any exposure to moisture (water
or snow) may cause erratic operation or loss of control.
· Interference may cause loss of control. To ensure the safety of you and others,
do not operate in the following places:
• Near any site where other radio control activity may occur
• Near power lines or communication broadcasting antennas
• Near people or roads
• On any pond when passenger boats are present
· Do not use this product when you are tired, uncomfortable, or under the
influence of alcohol or drugs. Doing so may cause serious injury to yourself or
others.
· The 2.4GHz radio band is limited to line of sight. Always keep your model in
sight as a large object can block the RF signal and lead to loss of control.
· Never grip the transmitter antenna during operation. It significantly degrades
signal quality and strength and may cause loss of control.
· Do not touch any part of the model that may generate heat during operation, or
immediately after use. The engine, motor or speed control, may be very hot and
can cause serious burns.
· Misuse of this product may lead to serious injury or death. To ensure the safety
of you and your equipment, read this manual and follow the instructions.
· Make sure the product is properly installed in your model. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury.
· Make sure to disconnect the receiver battery before turning off the transmitter.
Failure to do so may lead to unintended operation and cause an accident.
· Ensure that all motors operate in the correct direction. If not, adjust the
direction first.
· Make sure the model flies within a certain distance. Otherwise, it would cause
loss of control.

2. Introduction
The TGY-i6S transmitter and TGY-iA6B receiver constitute a 10 channel 2.4GHz AFHDS 2A digital
proportional computerized R/C system. This system supports quadcopters.
2.1 System Features
The AFHDS 2A (Automatic Frequency Hopping Digital System Second Generation) is specially developed
for all radio control models. Offering superior protection against interference while maintaining lower
power consumption and high reliable receiver sensitivity, the AFHDS technology is considered to be one
of the leaders in the RC market today.
Bidirectional Communication
Capable of sending and receiving data, each transmitter is capable of receiving data
from temperature, altitude and many other types of sensors, servo calibration and i-BUS /
S-BUS Support.
Multi-channel Hopping Frequency
This systems bandwidth ranges from 2.408GHz to 2.475GHz. This band is divided in
135 channels. Each transmitter hops between 16 channels (32 for Japanese and Korean
versions) in order to reduce interference from other transmitters.
Omni-directional Gain Antenna
The high efficiency Omni-directional high gain antenna cuts down on interference, while
using less power and maintaining a strong reliable connection.
Low Power Consumption
The system is built using highly sensitive low power consumption components,
maintaining high receiver sensitivity, while consuming as little as one tenth the power of a
standard FM system, dramatically extending battery life.
Unique ID Recognition System
Each transmitter and receiver has it's own unique ID. Once the transmitter and receiver
have been paired, they will only communicate with each other, preventing other systems
accidentally connecting to or interfering with the systems operation.

2.2.1 Transmitter Antenna
Precautions:
• For best signal quality, make sure that the antenna is at about a 90 degree angle to the model. Do not
point the antenna directly at the receiver.
• Never grip the transmitter antenna during operation. It significantly degrades the RF signal quality
and strength and may cause loss of control.
2.2.2 Status Indicator
The status indicator is used to indicate the power and working status of the transmitter.
• Off: the transmitter is powered off.
• Blue light: the transmitter is on and working.
• Flashing: low battery or low signal alarm.

Attention
· For best signal quality, ensure that the receiver is mounted away from motors
or metal parts.
2.3.2 Status Indicator
The status indicator is used to indicate the power and working status of the receiver.
• Off: the power is not connected.
• Lit in red: the receiver is on and working.
• Flashing quickly: the receiver is binding.
• Flashing slowly: the bound transmitter is off or signal is lost.
2.3.3 Connectors
The connectors are used to connect the parts of model and the receiver.
• PPM/CH1: doubles as CH1 and a PPM output.
• CH2 to CH6: used to connect the servos, power or other parts.
• B/VCC: used to connect the bind cable for binding, and the power cable during normal operation.
• SERVO: used to connect i-Bus/S-BUS compatible module and extend channels.
• SENS: used to connect all kinds of sensors.
