Attention：
1. Please use this in the provided venues, juveniles are asked to be accompanied by a
guardian to use.
2. Any electronic may lose control, please set up failsafe correctly to avoid or reduce
losses.
3. Range is affected by the environment .Please test range in the open away from
any obstacles.
4. As a result of receiver sensitivity's enhancement, will cause certain jamming
situation between some receivers and the transmitters (on usual,the distance between
receiver and transmitter is3cm). This does not affect the normal use.
5. Because IS-4R0 is a ultra light receiver , the bind is not the same as others, please
read the manul of “Bind receivers＂
6. Once bind success,use for ever and never bind again!
7. Please note the positive and negative charges on the voltage protector, don＇t
make mistake
8. Do not fly unless it is safe to do so. Consider the safety of others at all times when
flying.
FD 2.4GHz V3 radio control system
FD 2.4GHz works with the standard of Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum
(FHSS), it changes frequency quickly throughout the 2.4 GHz band, utilizing 19
separate frequencies in order to reduce interference from other unwanted signals.
This ensures safe, stable operation over a wide range of conditions likely to be
encountered at any flying field.
FD 2.4GHz V3 radio control system＇s features
◆Long range and more Stability
◆More small and more ultra light
◆Failsafe. You can set the receiver to default to a pre-set position on all channels in
the unlikely event of signal loss.
◆Automatic frequency scan when turning on the transmitter and receiver ensures no
frequency clash and maximum safety.
◆Bind once, use forever!
◆Range test. Convenient method to check the performance of the system which
means you won＇t need to walk kilometers away.
◆Ultra-low-power design. Low power consumption by Transmitter modules and
Receivers.

Range checking
For safety, we suggest you conduct a range test before each flying session.
1).Haveafriendholdthemodelforyou.Positionthemodelatleasttwo

3).Movejoysticksinthetransmitterandverifythatthemodelis
respondingnormally.Moveawaythetransmitterfromthemodelupto
10m(IS6R,IS8R)or8m(IS4R)or4m(IS‐4R0).Ifthecontrolsurfaces


DuringtherangetesttheTransmittermodulewillhavearangeof
approx10m(IS6R,IS8R)and8m(IS4R).Innormalpowermode,range
