switchlocatednearthetopofthecontrolselectsbetweenthefocusandirisfunction.

AnFM50typeLi‐IonBattery(11)powersboththeRadiomodule.Toremovethebattery,
slidetheBatteryRelease(12)towardstherearofthemodulewhilepushingthebattery

(6)tothechannelofthereceivingunit.
5. Selectthedesiredmode–focusoriris:

IfanMDR3orMDR2isbeingcontrolled,theModeswitch
determineswhichmotor(focusoriris)willrespondtothecontrol
knob.
