Synthesized receivers get rid o f the inconvenience of using a crystal. Receivers with a crystal still use the technology of the 1970 ’ s where
the user has to change the crystal to switch to a different frequency. Users are either stuck to one frequency or have to bring more
(expensive) crystals to the flying field. In addition, every time the crystal is changed there is a chance of damaging the receiver.
With a synthesized receiver, all you need to do is push the button to switch to any channel you are transmitting at.
With Corona ’ s technology in developing and manufacturing of R/C products, the RP6 D1 6 CH Dual conversion receiver becomes the
smallest in the world. But do not only focus on its small size. Its high performance will also surprise you!

Features
1. You can switch the frequency freely with the RP 6 D1 6 CH dual conversion synthesized receiver.
2. The 'one button' function makes it extremely easy to change frequency .
3. Despite the small size, the receiving range reaches as far as 1 mile!
4. The dual ceramic IF filters ensure ultra narrow selectivity, and can r eject adjacent channel interference effectively.
5 . The RP6D1 can identify the shift polarity of the transmitter (FUTABA, JR) automatically.
6. DSP technology filters noise intelligently and eliminates glitches effectively.
7. Failsafe function to put servos in a predetermined position in case of lost signal reception.

Failsafe ensures that the servos and/or ESC are set to a predetermined position within 0.5 s after a loss of reception. Without failsafe servos
will respond erratically resulting in a loss of aircraft control in case reception is lost.

1. T urn on tra n smi tte r with the antenna extended
2. Power up the receiver. The receiver LED will flash 2 times quickly
3. Press the scan button on the receiver for 2 seconds
4. The LED will fl a sh 3 times meaning the receiver is ready for the set up process (should it blink 2 times, then press the button again for 2
seconds)
Keep a careful eye on the L ED . The receiver will cycle through 3 mode s suc c essively. It may be helpful to do the setup in a dark environment
so you can better see the LED flashing.

1. Turn on the transmitter with the antenna extended.
2. Turn on the receiver. The LED will blink 2 times . If the LED remains lit then the receiver is receiving correct commands from a transmitter.
If the LED goes out then the receiver is not receiving any correct commands, in which case you should set it up again...
3. To set it up, press the scan button for 2 seconds, then release it. The LED blinks 3 times now (should it blink 2 times, then press the

, press the button shortly. If the LED begins to blink quickly it means that the receiver is
searching for a valid signal. Wait for 2-3 seconds for the search to complete.
Once the receiver is locked to the transmitter, the LED will flash 2 times and then remain lit. If the LED goes out again, check the
transmitter.
4. A fter the receiver has locked, if you don ’ t change frequency, the receiver will work when ever you connect it to the power. N o need to
relock.

3. A djust the sticks and switch es on the transmitter to the position that you feel will best protect your aircraft in the event of a loss of signal .
Typically the throttle is decreased and a slight elevator input is require d to maintain a controlled glide slope. You should notice as you
set the sticks and switches that the receiver is responding indicating the transmitter and receiver are synchronized.
4. To set it up, press the scan button for 2 seconds, then release it. The LED blinks 3 times now (should it blink 2 times, then press the
button again for 2 seconds). While in mode III, press the button shortly to start the failsafe enabling process.
5. The L ED will flash 2 times and then remain lit . The tra n smitter now does not control the receiver and the failsafe has been enabled. You
must now restart the receiver.
During this setting step do not turn off the transmitter . Otherwise the receiver will not record the pos i tion of sticks and s witch es and it will
not retain a failsafe setting. Should this occur you will notice the LED flashing twice and then going dark indicating that you will have to start
the process over.

2 . If not using an ESC with a built in battery eliminator circuit (BEC), plug a 4.8V battery/switch harness into any unused channel. If you are
using all the channels for servos, use a Y harness to connect the battery and servo to 1 channel.
3 . Wrap the receiver in foam to isolate it from vibration and secure it in the aircraft with for instance a rubber band.
4. Unwind the antenna fully. Do not coil or cut the antenna.
