HANDLING
INSTRUCTION
*Remove the
battery
cover
in
the direction of the arrow while pushing the rear of the cover lightly downward.
Then replace the six penlight batteries, paying careful
attention
to +
and
-polarities. Insert the batteries
from the
"-"
side (spring side) of the holder.
*Extend the antenna fully
and
set the power
switch
to the
ON
position. The pointer of the level meter will de-
flect
to
within
the green area
and
radio waves will
be
radiated.
If
the pointer of the level
meter
fails to def-
lects
very
lit
tie, check for
faulty
battery contact, incorrect
battery
polarity,
or
for faulty batteries.
*Since the
transmitting
range will become extremely short
if
the pointer of the level meter
deflects
to
within
the
red
range,
replace the
batteries
as quickly as possible.
*The dual neutral position switch is used for engine control fine adjustment
depend
on
the type of model. This
switch
is
used
for
proper engine control neutral adjustment
and
operating posture
after
the mechanism section
r,l,3
been installed. However, adjustment should
be
performed
with
the load adjuster, etc.
after
test
running
and
0~,"ration
performed
with
the trim lever, set to the neutral position as possible,
;.'
- I uxample, when used
with
a racing car, buggy, etc., the
throttle

can
be
easily per-
, ';]'(.

KO-V2
is
a 2-channel transmitter, but
its
radio wave output is the
same
as that of the digital proporti-
urlal control used
with
large air

are
radiated over a range of more than

PRECAUTION
WHEN
MOUNTING
IN
MODEL
*Set the pushrod of each servo horn
and
then confirm the operations of the
transmitter
and
the operating
direction of each rudder.
Further, operate each servo horn over
its
entire operating range
and
check the pushrods
for
sticking
and
loos-
eness. Excessive force applies to the servo horns are not only harmful to the servos, but also accelerates
battery
consumption. Always make the operating
width
of each rudder larger than the full stroke (including the
trim component) of the servo horn
and
adjust so
that
each servo horn is operated smoothly even when the
trim lever
and
stick
lever are operated simultaneously
in
the same derection.
*Pay caref
ul
at
tent
ion
to
noise.
Metal
contac~ing
due to engine vibration
will
generate noise which
will
cause
the
Metal
contacting for
rece-
iver servo to operate erroneously.
*
Install
the
switch
harness so that t
he
ON-OFF operation is performed positively
by
making the rectangula hole
somewhat larger than the full stroke of the
switch
knob.
This
also applies
to
the
switch
mounting
boad
when
the
sw itch is mounted inside body of t
he
model
and
is
turned
on
and
off
from the outside
by
means of piano wire, etc.
Install
the
switch
harness at a point where it
will
not come
in
direct contact
with
engine oil, dust etc.
*Although the antenna wire of the KR-V2 is long,
do
not cut or bundle it.
*When used
in
a boat, car
or
other similar models,
be
sure
to
waterpoof
and
dustproof the mechanism
After
use,
open
the mechanism unit to prevent evaporation.
*
After
all the part s have been correctly mounted
and
checked, retract the antenna of the t
shortest length, extend the antenna of the receiver
fully
and
test
operate
at
a
distance:
ion
is
normal
if
each servo
is
operated positively.
PRECAUTION
WHEN
MOUNTING
IN
MODEL
* Pack the receiver in sponge rubber
and
wrap
with
rubber bands.
Mount the receiver
so
that
it
is
not
directly
subjected
to
engine vibrations
and
does not .directly contact the
body
and
frame
and
cannot move.
*When
the receiver is mounted
in
a boat, seaplane, etc.
it
may unexpectedly land
in
the
water
in rivers, lakes,
etc.
in
an
emergency. Therefore, waterproof the receiver
by
placing
it
in
a vinyl bag etc.
and
close the opening
of
the
bag
tightly
with
a rubber
band.
After
use, immediately remove the receiver form the bag to prevent
evaporation.
* Pack the receiver
and
its
battery
in
sponge rubber. When mounted
in
an
aircraft
the center of gravity will
change
according to the position of the battery.
After
the correct mounting position have
been
decided, securely mount the receiver
so
that it cannot move
or
rattle.
*
Use
the rubbr bands wrapped around the receiver
to
secure the servo lead wires
and
switch
lead wires.
*
The
crystal can
be
replaced
without
opening the case. Insert the crystal securely into the socket.
If
inserted
insufficiently, vibration will cause erroneous operation.
Always confirm that the
crystal
is a pair
with
the
transmitter
crystal when replacing the
crystal
of the
receiv'>r.
The DIGIACE PAIR
CRYSTAL
SET
can
be
used
with
any DIGIACE transmitter
and
receiver.
Uf
accordance
with
the application.
