1. Disclaimer
Thank you for purchasing the T40 portable remote-control station. Please use it
in accordance with local radio control regulations and read this statement
carefully before using it. Once used, it shall be deemed to endorse and accept all
contents of this statement. Please strictly follow this instruction to install and use
the product. The supplier will not bear any legal liability for any result or loss
caused by improper use, installation, final assembly or modification of the
product.
2. Product Precautions
1) T40 ground terminal is matched with airborne unit to use together.
2) T40 can be matched with 3 different airborne units: V21, V30, V40. Frequency
800MHz, 1.4GHz and 2.4GHz for choice. Default: 1.4GHz.
Frequency
Range
800M
806 – 826MHz
1.4G
1427.9 – 1447.9MHz
2.4G
2401.5 – 2481.5MHz
3) The ground unit is with built-in 16.8v battery(4S lithium battery); the
airborne unit needs external power input DC7.4-24v(2S-6S lithium battery).
Please power the system in strict accordance with specifications.
4) With improper operation, the aircraft may cause a certain degree of injury and
damage to human and the system, please be sure to pay attention to safety during
use.
5) In order to better serve customers, our R&D team has been upgrading and
optimizing the product. The software and firmware are being upgraded
frequently. There may be incompatibilities between different firmware versions.
Please pay attention to asking the supplier for the latest software firmware and
technical support.
6) Software and firmware version example:

www.chinowing.com
5
Parameters Setting Software: HZY Remote-controller configuration software 1.0.2
Ground unit firmware: TTx40-1.2.3-1.0
Airborne unit V21 firmware: V21RX-1.2.3-1.00
Airborne unit V30 firmware: V30RX-1.2.3-1.0
7) The software, firmware, drivers and port conversion tools covered in this
manual will be updated from time to time on our website, so please visit our
website to download them, or contact us directly.
8) If you encounter any problem that cannot be solved during installation or use
of the product, please contact us.
2.1 Installation Note
1) Be sure to use the spare parts provided by our company.
2) Be sure to install the antennas before power-on to avoid damage to the circuit.
3) Try to make the receiver antenna without obstruction, and the end part of the
antenna is vertically downward without bending, so as to avoid shortening the
communication distance or even failing to communicate due to obstruction.
4) Do not disassemble or refit without permission. If you encounter any problem
that cannot be solved during installation, please contact us directly.
5) During installation, keep proper distance between electronic devices to
minimize electromagnetic interference.
2.2 Precautions for Use
1) Before use, please make sure that all connection wires are fastened reliably
and all components work normally.
2) Please open the <RC Configuration Software> and check whether the
channels are normal.

3) Please check the surrounding environment to ensure that there is no
interference from other devices, otherwise T40 data transmission performance
will be seriously affected.
4) Ensure that the antennas are free from obstacles and bends during use, and
stay away from large metal structural parts as far as possible to avoid
communication obstruction
5) Check the power of the remote control before use. If the <Parameter Setting
Software> shows that power is low, please charge the remote control timely. If
the remote control is turned off, the receiver has entered the state of out-of-
control protection. Stop using it when the battery is too low. Don't rely on the
device's low-power alarm, which is only a precaution and tells you when to
charge. It takes about 2.5hs to be fully charged.
3. Product Introduction
T40 is all-in-one hand-held GCS that integrates remote control, data transmission
module, video transmission module and industrial computer. High integration,
dual screens display, dual SBUS output, easy operation. There are 20 physical
channels and 7 virtual channels to map to any channel of SBUS. Multiple
frequencies for choice, 800MHz, 1.4GHz and 2.4GHz. It can be used widely in
commercial unmanned applications for remote control and data transmission.
