Range Check
A pre-flight range check should be done before each flying session. Reflections from nearby metal fences, concrete
buildings or trees can cause loss of signal during range check and flight.
Normally , the RSSI is about 45-50 at 150m
in range check mode.
1. Place the model at least 60cm (two feet) above non-metal contaminated ground (e.g. on a wooden bench). The
receiver antenna should be in vertical position.
2. Turn on the transmitter and the receiver, go to MODEL SETUP—External RF—Mode R9MLP ACCESS—Range.
More information please refer to the introduction manual for transmitter.
How to Set Failsafe mode (on the transmitter)
There are 3 failsafe modes: No Pulse, Hold, Custom
• No Pulse: on loss of signal the receiver produces no pulses on any channel. To apply this type, select it in the
menu and wait 9 seconds for the failsafe to take effect.
• Hold: the model will hold the last position after signal lost. To apply this type, select it in the menu and wait 9
seconds for failsafe to take effect.
• Custom: the customized position of each individual channel. The model will move to the preset position after
signal lost. Move the cursor to “Set” and press ENTER, you will see FAILSAFE SETTING screen below. Move the
cursor to the channel you want to set failsafe on, and press ENTER. When moving the corresponding sticks or
switches, you will see the channel bar moving. Move the channel bar to the place you want for failsafe and long
press ENTER to finish the setting. Wait 9 seconds before failsafe taking effect.
Note: If failsafe is not set, the model will hold the last position after signal is lost, thus it may fly away
or cause injury.
Note: You can set the RF power: Go to the External RF-Options [set].
