Install the receiver in your vehicle using double-sided Velcro. Velcro
will hold the receiver in place and help isolate it from vibrations.
Mount the antenna up and away from the vehicle in an antenna tube.
The higher up the antenna is, the better signal it will receive.
CAUTION: Do not cut the antenna.

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the
GUID (Globally Unique Identier) code of a single specic transmitter.
When a receiver is bound to a transmitter, the receiver will only
respond to that specific transmitter. If you need to rebind for any
reason, please follow these steps:
1. With the transmitter switched ON
2. Power on the receiver,then press the bind button in 3 seconds.
3. Loose the bind button and wait for about 5 seconds.
4. The receiver LED will keep ashing, means it is binding.
5. After the receiver LED stop ashing, it means the binding is done.

Failsafe Setting
The EX6 comes with the receiver failsafe set to NONE. In the event
of loss of signal the motor will stop and the vehicle will willdrift. If the
signal is regained normal function will return.
If you wish to program the failsafe to a custom setting, just follow
these simple steps:
1. While binding(LED ashing), keep sticks at position that you want
the vehicle to stay when failsafe
2. When binding done(LED stop ashing), the system will remember
the position you set for failsafe
Servos Reverse
The EX6 allows servo reversing of 1 to 4 channels.
Reverse swiches allow you to select direction of each channel. You
must be clear which direction of each channel you need for ight
before you put vehicle in the air.
DRONE Mode Switch
Servo Reverse Switches
Elevon Mixing
The EX6 comes with elevon mixing function(also called delta wing)
with a button switch.
Mixing combines the function of ailerons with the function of the
elevator to allow precise control of both roll and pitch for delta wing
aircraft.
To activate the elevon mix, move the mix switch to the on (upper)
position.

7 EXMITTER EX6 Digital Radio System
Auto Pilot Mode Logical Mixing
The EX6 allows mixing function in auto pilot mode. To achieve this
function, just simply follow below steps:
1. Switch DRONE to ON position
2. Six functions customizable to match your Auto Pilot System:
1) Dual Rate Function switcher at lower position, low/middle/high
position of Channel 5 for three different functions.
2) Dual Rate Function switcher at higher position, low/middle/high
position of Channel 5 for another three different functions.
Note: This function is designed for APM system, compatible to some
other auto pilot system,but not guaranteed.

The EX6 features digital trims. Each time a trimmer is moved the
servo output will change one step. If the trimmer is held, the output
will scroll in that direction until the trimmer is released or the output
reaches its end.

If the controlling performs not perfectly as you expected, try to
recalibrate it manually by following below steps:
1. Hold the elevator trim&throttle trim at upper position while power on
the transmitter to enter manual calibration mode.
2. Move all stickers to max position on each direction.
3. After nished, push elevator trin&throttle trim to upper position to
exit back to normal mode.
Retreatable Antenna
The EX6 comes with a retreatable antenna. When transporting, you
can rotate it down at rear place to save space.

Perform Range Check
As a precaution, an operational ground range check should be
performed before the rst ight each time out.
Performing a range check is a good way to detect problems that could
cause loss of control such as low batteries , defective or damaged
radio components or radio interference. This usually requires an
assistant and should be done at actual ying site you will be using.
Firstly, turn on the transmitter. Then install the fully charged battery in
to the vehicle and hold it in place with hook-and-loop strap. Connect
the battery and install the hatch.
Remember, carefully not to "bump" the throttle stick. Otherwise the
propeller will rotate and possibly cause damage or injury.
With the antenna on the transmitter collapsed(not extended),begin
walking away from the model operating the controls in a predictable
pattern(for example, turn elevator up, and then down. Turn aileron and
rudder right, and then left). While moving the control surfaces, also
vary motor rpm.
Remind your assistant to alert you if the controls fail to respond or
if they move suddenly or erratically. You should be able to matain
control up to a distance of approximately 100 feets(30 meters).
If the controls respond erratically or if anything else seems wrong,
make certain all the servo wires are securely connected to the receiver
and that the transmitter and receiver batteries are fully charged. If
you can not find a mechanical problem with the model, it is slightly
possible that there is radio interference somewhere in the area.One
option would be to try another range check at an alternate ying site.
After the range check, fully extend the anternna.
FHSS Radio Control System
FHSS is an advanced radio control system with better performance of
anti-interference.
EX6 comes with FHSS system, its faster frequence prevents
interference signal from catching up. Therefore using this system
allows the radio to work in a more stable environment.

The system is not
connected
Your transmitter and receiver are too
close
Take transmitter 1 to 3 meters away from
receiver
You are around metal objects Try in an area with less metal around
The model selected is not the model

Check the selected model and ensure you
are bound to the specic one
The model is not the bound one Rebind your transmitter and receiver
The receiver not
responding during
operation
