5.3 Receiver Binding (Frequency Matching)

To establish communication between the transmitter and receiver, frequency matching (binding) is required:

  1. Assegureu-vos que el receptor estigui encès.
  2. Press the touch button on the receiver.
  3. Turn on the power switch of the remote control (transmitter).
  4. The frequency matching should now be successful, indicated by a solid light on the receiver.

6. Funcionament

6.1 Controls bàsics

Refer to Figure 1 for the location of all controls. The main control sticks (rockers) control the primary movements of your model. Trim buttons are used for fine adjustments to ensure stable flight/movement.

6.2 Bloqueig de tecles

The Key Lock feature prevents accidental input. When activated, the keys become invalid to prevent misoperation.
