User manual FUTABA TM-8 RF

[. . . ] Unlike 72MHz equipment, they're not as vulnerable to vibration. Using less foam lets them operate cooler -- which is a plus for all electronics. Tip: To keep the receiver cooler use small foam blocks (like standoffs) so that there is an air channel around the receiver. Shade your model from sunlight when not flying. [. . . ] In order to avoid this situation, please wait for a 1 2 Turn on the transmitter. Instruction Manual T7U, T8U, T9C and T9Z Other precautions When utilizing the trainer function of the transmitter as an instructor, please do not switch to the student's control unit until the RF is active after turning the transmitter on. Failure to adhere to this procedure may result in a malfunction. 1) Prior to utilizing any radio control system, it is strongly recommended that you read and abide by the Safety Code created by the Academy of Model Aeronautics as well as any site specific rules and regulations that might exist. Doing so will greatly increase your enjoyment of the hobby. 2) In order to maintain complete control of your aircraft it is important that it remains visible at all times. Flying behind large objects such as buildings, grain bins, etc. Doing so may result in the reduction of the quality of the radio frequency link to the model. 3) Please do not grasp the transmitter module's antenna during flight. Doing so may degrade the quality of the radio frequency transmission.
