User manual FUTABA 3PL-2.4G

[. . . ] 3PL-2. 4G 3-channel, FHSS Radio control system for Cars INSTRUCTION MANUAL 1M23N23002 R Digital Proportional R/C System Thank you for purchasing a Futaba FHSS 3PL 2. 4GHz system. This system is based on the combination of the newly developed 2. 4GHz transmitter and its corresponding receiver. Before using your 3PL 2. 4GHz system, read this manual carefully and use your R/C set safely. After reading this manual, store it in a safe place. [. . . ] Press the Select button to select the desired function screen. Steering Wheel Turn model to left or right. Channel 3 Switch Turn channel 3 servo to left or right. Throttle Trigger Control the speed of the model and movement forward and backward. Steering Dual Rate Lever (D/R) Grip Handle Adjust the vehicle's steering sensitivity across the entire range. (*1) (*1) Digital trim DT1, DT2, and D/R operation Push the lever to the left or right (up or down). The current position is displayed on the LCD screen for about two seconds. When the trim exceeds the maximum trim adjustment range, the beep tone will change and the servo will not move any further. Remember, the trims are digital so the position of each trim is remembered for each model separately. WARNING Do not cover/hold the built-in antenna part of T3PL-2. 4G transmitter by your hand during running. Do not put any conductive plate/sticker on the antenna part. Otherwise, the operating range may become shorter. Before Operation 9 Battery Replacement Method (4 AA size batteries) CAUTION A l w ay s b e s u r e y o u r e i n s e r t t h e batteries in the correct polarity order. If the batteries are loaded incorrectly , the transmitter may be damaged. When the transmitter will not be used for any short or long period of time, always remove the batteries. If the batteries do happen to leak , clean the battery case and contacts thoroughly. Make sure the contacts are free of corrosion. 1 2 3 4 Remove the battery cover from the transmitter by sliding it in the direction of the arrow in the figure. Pay very close attention to the polarity markings and reinser t accordingly. Slide the battery cover back onto the case. Check: Turn the power switch on the transmitter to the ON position. Check the battery voltage display on the LCD screen. If the voltage is low, check the batteries for insufficient contact in the case or incorrect battery polarity. Low Battery Alarm: If the transmitter battery voltage drops below 4. 2V an alarm will sound and "LOW" will be displayed on the LCD screen. The low battery alarm is meant to be a safety feature only. Always shut your radio off as soon as possible after the low battery warning tone to avoid loss of control. 10 Before Operation E. S. C. MC230CR / MC330CR Applicable motors (Number of turns is criteria. ) ·Use the MC230CR with a motor with 20T or more turns. ·Use the MC330CR with a motor with 13T or more turns. *If a motor with a number of turns smaller than the above is used, the heat protector and overcurrent protection circuit may operate. The number of turns of the motor is one criteria only. Depending on the running conditions, the protection circuit may operate even if the condition above is satisfied.
