Note: Use a DSC cord to disable the transmitter's RF section to avoid radio interference. If you do not have your transmitter or a DSC cord, disconnect servo from receiver and lift vehicle's wheels into the air until D·LINK is connected. Note: Motor will be disabled as soon as D·LINK harness is connected. 3. Connect the DataLink's D·LINK harness to your Cyclone's DataLink socket located on the top of the speed control. The D·LINK connector will only clear the transistors of the speed control if the "D·LINK" lettering is right side up. If you have external heat sinks installed, be sure that they do not extend beyond the front edge of the transistors, as they may have to be repositioned to gain access to the connector. At this time the Cyclone's LED should be illuminated solid red.
