You may change the length ofthe control sticks tomake your transmitter more comfortable to
hold and operate.To lengthen or shorten yout transmitter's sticks,first unlock the stick tip
by holding locking screw В and urning stick tip A counterclockwise. Next, move thelocking screw
В upor down(to lengthen or shroten). Whenthe length feels comfortable, lock the position by
turninglocking screw В counterclockwise.
You may adjustthetension of yout sticks
to provide the feel that you prefer for

3^ charging indicator
RX:Receiver charging
indicator
Totransmitter
charging jack
Receiver Ni-Cd battery
The transmitter and receiver batteries includedwith you
AV-TH9B systemare rechargeable, Ni~Cd batteries.Ni-Cd
batteries require special care and charging.
NOTE:The batteries are partially charged,but will require
a full, overnightchargebeforethe model maybe flown.
1. Connect the transmitter chargingcord coming from the
A/C wall charger tothe charge jack inthe right side of
the transmitter case. The receiver chargingcord maybe
connected tothe batteries two different ways:The charge
cord maybe connected directly tothe battery pack, orto
thevacantchargeconnector(Hack) coming from the on/off
switch inthe model. Charging"throughthe switch'is preferred
as there will beno need disconnectthebattery.
2.Plug theA/C wall charger into a wall outlet. Note:If the wall outlet canbe turned
off bya switch intheromm,be certain the switchremains on after leaving the room.
Otherwise,the batteries will notbe charged!
3. The LEDs(1ight-emittingdiodes)should light red, indicating thatcurrent is flowing
and the batteries are beingcharged.Discharged batteries will take about 15 hours to
fully charge.Ifusing an aftermarket fast charger,be certain to followthemanufacturer's
instructions providedwith the charger soyoudonot overcharge the batteries.NEVER
chargethe batteries ata rate higherthan 1000mA.The batteries should also be discharged
periodically to periodically to prevent a conditioncalled'memory".If,for example,
only two flights aremode eachtime yougo flying,the batteries will not have"reached
"very far down into their full capacity. Afterdoing this several times the batteries
will"remember*'and eventually"think"they can supplyonly enougt power fortwo fights.
After two flights the batteries maynot provide enough power to operate the system,
thuscausing a crash. To erase any potential memory,cycle the batteries by discharging,
thencharging them with a commercial battery cycler,or leave the system onand exercise
theservos by moving the transmitter sticks until the even during the winter or periods
of long storage.If using a cycler with a readout,note the cajpacity after the batteries
have been cycled. Ifthere isa noticeable drop in capacity the batteries should be
replaced.
NOTE:charging your batteries with the included A/IONlxA/C batterychargerisalways
safe. However, fast-chargingwith an aftermarketcharger is acceptable as long asyou
know howto properlyoperate the charger,NEVER charge ata rate higherthan 1000mA. If
not done correctly, fast-charging can damage the batteries.
5. 3Range Testing YourR/C System ^
Please note that different systems demonstrate different range checks andthesame system will
range check differently in different conditions. Also,the receiver antenna's installationaffects
the range test—exiting thetopofthemodelis ideal. This isa brief explanation of range test.
For more in-depth specifics onreceiver antenna mounting, additional checks if unsatisfactroy rage
is demonstrated,range checking with gasoline powered engines, etc,please seeour F. A.Q.page at
www. f lyskychina. com.
. Leave the transmitter's antenna retracted andbe sure both batteries are fully charged.
.Plsition the aircraft away from wires, other transmitters,etc.
Test one-engine/motor off, minimum of 100 ft. range:
. Havea friend view themodelbutnot hold it, engine off. (People conduct signals,too!)
.Walkaway from the model,working all controls constantly.Stop whenthe servos jitter
significantly(a jitter here and there is normal),control movement stops(PCM),or you lose
control altogether.
.Measure the distance. If greater than 100feet, great!Proceed to Test 2. Less than 100feet of
range check meansyou need more information to determine if your system is safe to fly. Please
see outweb site or call support for additional tests to perform before flying your system.
.Repeat with friend holding the model. Noteany differences.

/MONiX ДУ-ТН9В
Test two-engine/motor on:
. Repeat the test with the model's enginerunning and with someone holding the model.If a
decrease ofmore than10%is noted, research and resolve the cause of interference prior to
flying your model.
