[. . . ] This causes no problems during flight, but makes shading your model on the ground very important. Cover the canopy with a white towel; or better yet, park your airplanes in the shade. Tip: It is important to note that lighter covering colors will absorb less heat whereas darker colors will absorb more heat. We had to avoid mounting 72MHz receivers near anything that might produce RF noise.

If not, power down the transmitter and turn it on once again. Ensure that the two receiver antennas are kept as straight as possible. This will allow you to obtain the maximum effective range from your model. 2 3 R6014FS LED indication Green Off Solid Blink Red Solid Off Off No signal received Signal received, normal operation Reciever is receiving signals but the ID is unmatched Unrecoverable error (EEPROM, etc. ) Status 1 Prior to attaching the module to the transmitter, it is important that the transmitter's software is updated accordingly. To obtain the software update, please follow the instructions that accompanied your respective transmitter. Additionally, this update will also include written instructions on the operation and use of the TM-14 module and R6014FS receiver. As such, we strongly suggest that you read them carefully before proceeding. While it is unlikely that the existing transmitter antenna will interfere with the radio frequency transmission of the TM-14, we suggest not installing it in the transmitter as a precautionary measure. Next, with the transmitter's power off, remove the existing transmitter module and install the TM-14 module with care so that the connector pins of the transmitter won't be damaged. Turn on the transmitter's power and switch the RF b a n d t o 2 . To d o s o, please follow the instructions that were included in the software update. With the receiver on, the LED on the receiver start green blinking. This means the receiver is detecting the TM14's RF signal but the ID code is not linked yet. Press and hold the Easy Link button, located on the top of the receiver, for approximately two seconds and release it. When the linking process has been completed, the LED on the receiver will change to a solid green and the linking is established. 2 3 4 W i t h t h e t ra n s m i t t e r o n , a n d t h e gr e e n L E D illuminated, turn on the receiver.

Please note: This is not a critical figure, however, the most important thing is to keep the antennas away from each other as much as possible. Alternate blink F/S (Fail Safe) setting The TM-14 allows the modeler to adjust the Fail Safe settings via the transmitter. There are two different operational RF modes offered by the TM-14: "MULTI-CH" and "7-CH mode". [. . . ] If moisture should enter the receiver, intermittent operation or failure may result. To prevent this from occurring, we suggest wrapping the receiver in a plastic bag or similar protective covering. This will also protect the receiver from any fuel or exhaust residue which can work its way into the fuselage. 1 After the TM-14 module has been installed into the transmitter, using the aforementioned steps, turn on the transmitter and activate the RF transmission according to the transmitter's instruction manual. The LED, located on the rear of the TM-14 transmitter module, 1 If everything operates correctly, return to the model. [. . . ]
