dling of the product.
You are solely responsible for the safe operation of your remote control and your model!
4. Product Description
The 5-channel remote control system "HT-5" is a radio control system that is mainly ideal for controlling model planes.
If necessary, the remote control can also be used to control model vehicles, model ships or simple 4-channel model
helicopters (speed-controlled).
The ve proportional control channels can be used to remote-control the different control functions independently of
each other. The ergonomic casing ts comfortably into your hand and allows for easy and safe operation of the model
and the transmitter.
For operation, 4 AA/mignon batteries (e.g. Conrad item no.: 652507, pack of 4, order 1x) are required for the transmit-
ter.
Where no ight controller or speed controller with BEC switch is used, you also need 4 AA/mignon batteries for the
receiver (e.g. item no. 652507, order 1x) or 4 AA/mignon rechargeable batteries with the corresponding battery holder.
Alternatively, 4- or 5-cell NiMH receiver batteries (rated voltage 4.8 - 6.0 V) can also be used with the switch cable. The
receiver may also be operated with a 2-cell LiPo battery (rated voltage 7.4 V), but in this case the connected servos
also must be high-voltage-capable.

a) General Information
• The unauthorized conversion and/or modication of the product is inadmissible for safety and approval reasons
(CE).
• This product is not a toy and not suitable for children under 14 years of age.
• The product must not become damp or wet.
• Taking out private liability insurance is recommended. If you already have one, get some information on whether or
not the operation of a radio-operated model is covered by your insurance.
• Do not connect the drive motor to electric models before the receiver system has been installed completely. This
ensures that the drive motor does not start unintentionally.
• Do not leave the packaging material lying around carelessly as it can become a dangerous toy for children.

• Please check the functional safety of your model and of the remote control system each time before you use the
model. Watch out for any visible damage such as defective plug connections or damaged cables. All movable parts
on the model have to be running smoothly. However, there must be no tolerance or 'play' in the bearing.
• The operation and handling of remote controlled models must be learned! If you have never controlled such a
model, start especially carefully to get used to how it responds to the remote commands. Do be patient!
• Should any questions arise that are not answered with the help of this operating manual, please contact our "Techni-
cal Advisory Service" (contact information see chapter 1) or another expert.
b) Operation
• If you do not yet have sufcient knowledge on how to deal with remote-controlled models, please contact an expe-
rienced model sportsman or a model construction club.
• When putting the device into operation, always turn on the transmitter rst. Then switch on the receiver in the model.
Otherwise, the model might show unpredictable responses! Avoid directing the tip of the aerial directly towards your
eyes.
• Before operating the model, check whether the stationary model reacts as expected to the commands of the remote
control.
• When you operate the model, always make sure that no parts of your body, other people or objects come within the
dangerous range of the motors or any other rotating drive parts.
• Improper operation may cause serious injury and property damage! Always make sure that the model is in your line
of sight and do not operate it at night.
• Only operate your model if your ability to respond is unrestricted. Fatigue or the inuence of alcohol or medication
can lead to wrong responses.
• Operate your model in an area where you do nor endanger any persons, animals or objects. Only operate it on
private sites or in places which are specically designated for this purpose.
• In case of a fault stop operating your model straight away and remove the cause of malfunction before you continue
to use the model.
• Do not operate your RC system during thunderstorms, beneath high-voltage power lines or in the proximity of radio
masts.
• Never switch off the remote control (transmitter) while the model is in use. To switch off the model, always switch off
the motor rst, then switch off the receiver. Only then may the remote control be switched off.
• Protect the remote control from dampness and heavy dirt.
• Do not expose the remote control to direct sunlight or excessive heat for a long period of time.
• If the batteries in the remote control are low, the range decreases. If the receiver batteries or rechargeable battery
in the receiver are low, the model will not respond correctly to the remote control.
If this is the case, stop driving immediately. Replace the batteries with new ones or recharge the receiver's recharge-
able battery.
• Do not take any risks when operating the product! Your own safety and that of your environment depends completely
on your responsible use of the model.

7. Battery and Rechargeable Battery Notes
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed
by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into re. There is a danger
of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin. Wear suitable protective
gloves when handling them.
• Do not recharge normal batteries. There is a risk of re and explosion! Charge only rechargeable batteries intended
for this; use suitable chargers.
• Always observe correct polarity (positive/+ and negative/-) when inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries.
• If the device is not used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries/rechargeable
batteries from the remote control and the car to avoid damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries.
• Recharge the rechargeable batteries about every 3 months. Otherwise, so-called deep discharge may result, ren-
dering the rechargeable batteries useless.
• Always replace the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries. Never mix fully charged batteries/rechargeable
batteries with partially discharged ones. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same type and manu-
facturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries!
• For reasons of operational safety, only use batteries and rechargeable batteries for the remote control transmitter.
8. Charging Rechargeable Batteries
If you use NiMH rechargeable batteries for power supply of the receiver, they are usually at at delivery and must be
charged.
Please note:
Before a NiMH rechargeable battery reaches maximum capacity, several complete discharge and charge
cycles are necessary.
Always discharge the rechargeable battery at regular intervals, since charging a "half-full" rechargeable bat-
tery several times can cause a so-called lazy battery effect. This means that the rechargeable battery loses
capacity. It no longer provides all of its stored energy, and the operating time of the model is reduced.
If you use several rechargeable batteries, purchasing a high-quality charger may be worthwhile. Such a
charger usually has a quick-charging feature.

10. Setting up the Transmitter
In the further course of these instructions, gures in the text always refer to the adjacent gure or the gures
within the section. References to other gures are indicated with the corresponding gure number.
a) Inserting the Batteries
For the power supply of the transmitter you will need 4
alkaline batteries (e.g. item no. 652507, pack of 4, order 1)
of the size AA/mignon.
Proceed as follows to insert the batteries:
The battery compartment lid (1) is located on the back of
the transmitter. Press the corrugated area (2) and push off
the lid downwards.
Ensure that the polarity is correct when inserting the 4 bat-
teries. A corresponding note (3) is located on the bottom
of the battery compartment.
Then slide the lid of the battery compartment back on from
the bottom until the locking mechanism engages.
b) Switching on the Transmitter
When new batteries are inserted, switch on the transmitter
with the function switch (see gure 1, item 8) for test pur-
poses. For this, slide the operating switch from the bottom
(off) to the top (on).
The transmitter emits a short signal sound and the LED
display (also see gure 1, item 7) lights up green perma-
nently.
If the voltage supply drops below 5.0 V, the LED display
switches from green to orange to red and thus indicates
threatening undersupply of the transmitter. The model
should then no longer be operated. When the voltage
drops below approx. 4.0 V, the LED display starts ashing
red and the transmitter emits acoustic warning sounds at
regular intervals. In this case, operation of the model must
be ceased as quickly as possible. Insert new batteries for
further operation of the transmitter.
After you have veried the correct function of your trans-
mitter, switch it off again.

c) Setting the Control Lever Length
You can adjust the length of the control levers, depending
on your steering habits.
To do so simply hold the bottom part of the grip (1) and
turn the upper part (2) up anti-clockwise.
You can now set the length of the control lever by turning
the bottom part of the grip.
Finally, tighten the upper part of the grip back up.
