PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY
If there are any special regulations for using 2.4GHz radio systems at your flying site,
please obey all regulations.
2.4GHz is very different than frequencies of the past. Please keep the model in sight at
all times as large objects can block the RF signal. Also keep in mind that objects such
as wire fences and wire mesh might also cause signal loss.
NEVER grip or shroud the transmitter antenna when flying as this degrades RF quality
and could cause loss of control.

CHANGING TRANSMITTING PROTOCOL OF YOUR
TX-610 TRANSMITTER
Your TX-610 is capable of using Tactic brand receivers. In doing so one must simply
change protocols from R-0 to R-1 in the transmitters programing.
1. With the transmitter off, place the HOLD switch in the on position.
2. While holding the trainer switch forward and pressing down on the MODE button turn
the transmitter on.
3. You will see R-0 or R-1 flash in in the LCD screen. R-0 allows you to fly products
not supported with a Tactic brand receiver and R-1 allows you to fly products using a
Tactic Receiver.
4. Use the D/R switch to toggle between the two selections.
5. Turn the HOLD switch off to begin operation.
TURNING THE TRANSMITTER ON
When turning your TX610 on, make sure the switches located near and at the top of
the transmitter are switched into the “back” position. Also make sure the transmitters
throttle stick is in the low position or a safety warning alarm will sound and a T-H will
appear on the LCD screen. Lowering the stick will turn the alarm off. If you hear a
warning beep and see the icons either 3D or T-H on the LCD screen, you have the UP-1
switch or HOLD switches activated. Please turn them off (back).
Your TX610 has two different setup modes, system setup and model setup. These
menus change slightly between airplane and helicopter model types so we will outline
the two types individually.

MODE 1 VS. MODE 2
Below are the two major differences between mode 1 and mode 2.
Mode 1 has the Throttle and Aileron on the right stick. The Elevator and Rudder are
on the left stick.
Mode 2 has the Aileron and Elevator, the two main controls, on the right stick. The
Throttle and Rudder are on the left stick. This is how your TX610 comes delivered
from the factory.
To change from Mode 2 to Mode 1, simply remove the small center cover from the back
of the transmitter and position the switch to your liking. Replace the cover. You will note
the throttle stick reverts to the right side of the transmitter in mode one.
