SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION
Step 1 – Removing the stock RF module
Lay your transmitter face down on a towel or something similar to protect it.
Using a thin object like an X-acto blade or flat-tipped screw driver, gently
pry one side of the back cover upwards. Each side of the cover has plastic
tangs the full height of the cover, so it will take some effort to remove the
cover. See Figure 1. Set the cover aside. It is no longer needed. Pull-up
on the entire RF module just enough so that it becomes unplugged from the
transmitter. See Figure 2. Locate the stock RF antenna connector and
carefully remove the connector from the stock RF board by pulling straight
up – not at an angle! DO NOT pull on the coax cable going into the gold the
connector! Remove the entire RF assembly. See Figures 3 through 5 for
details.

Step 2 – Installing the XtremeLink
®
RF Module
Place the XtremeLink®module's plastic case into the empty RF module
location and pass the antenna connector through the hole in the case. See
Figure 6.
Take the XtremeLink®RF module and place it at an angle into the plastic
case. Firmly push the antenna connector on to the XtremeLink®RF module's
antenna connector port. MAKE SURE that you press this connector straight
down, not at an angle! There should be a definite “snap” feeling when a
proper connection is made. Orient the cable as shown. See Figure 7.
