How to change quartz from transmitter/ receiver & identify frequency quartz
It’s simple to change frequency of the new SAGA1-L12 series. The system’s frequency can be changed simply by replacing
correspondent frequency quartz in both the TX and RX.
Note: For replacing the new quartz, there are 2 types of frequency are available (VHF & UHF). Do not replace the VHF
crystal unit into UHF PC Board. The indication of frequency type (VHF or UHF) is shown on the PC Board with a check
mark “v”
Instructions:
(1). Pry up the crystal unit with a flat screwdriver
(2). Remove the crystal unit from the system.
(3). Use a needle nose pliers to straighten both pins of the new crystal unit.
(4). Insert the new crystal unit vertically into the PC board.
(5). Press the new crystal down into the socket.
Note: the frequency will be different when plugging the same crystal into the TX or RX, for example,
ID Code Remote Setting
ID Code Remote setting allows you to overwrite the receiver ID code if Receiver or Transmitter is damaged. Before remote
setting, one must make sure both TX and RX are in same frequency channel. By using remote setting, receiver ID code will
be overwriting by the transmitter.
Prior to remote setting, please follow the instruction below,
(a) Make sure both TX and RX are same model and in the same frequency channel.
(b) To avoid interference during remote setting, place the transmitter to RX as close as possible.
(c) Turn off RX power completely (MAIN SWITCH) for 20 seconds and turn it on again.
(d) Complete the remote setting within 4 minutes after turning on the RX. The RX will NOT accept the remote setting
signal after 4 minutes.
Instructions:
(1) Depress the TX Emergency Stop (For those systems without a Mushroom style stop button that stays depressed,
please hold down the “STOP” pushbutton)
(2) Press UP pushbutton and hold it.
