Setup
Battery Installation
The MinimumRC Cassiopeia transmitter does not include batteries. You will need to supply your own. Ensure you use appropriate batteries for RC transmitters and install them according to the polarity markings inside the battery compartment (not shown in provided images, typical for RC transmitters).
Binding the Transmitter and Receiver
To establish a connection between your transmitter and micro receiver, follow these steps:
- Power off the transmitter.
- Power on the receiver and wait approximately 10 seconds until its LED starts flashing rapidly.
- Hold down the 'LB' button on the transmitter, then power on the transmitter. Release the 'LB' button.
- The indicator light on the receiver should now go solid, indicating a successful bind.
- Power off and then power on the receiver again to confirm the binding is complete.
Operating Instructions
Channel Reverse
To reverse the direction of any channel:
- Simultaneously hold down both the 'LB' and 'RB' buttons on the transmitter.
- To reverse a specific channel, press its corresponding trim button.
Mode Switching
The transmitter supports different flight modes. To switch between modes:
- Power off the transmitter.
- Hold down the 'RB' button, then power on the transmitter. Release the 'RB' button.
The indicator light will show the current mode:
- Red: Normal mode

Channel Trim
To adjust the neutral point of a channel:
- Toggle the desired channel's trim button several times.
- When the trim value is cleared, the LED will flash red and yellow several times as confirmation.
Throttle Safety Feature
Upon powering on the transmitter, if the throttle lever is not at its lowest (idle) position, the LED will flash red and yellow. This safety feature prevents accidental throttle engagement. Move the throttle lever to its lowest point to clear the warning and enable normal operation.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Receiver LED continues to flash rapidly after binding attempt. | Binding failed or interrupted. | Ensure the transmitter and receiver are close, and repeat the binding procedure carefully. Check for interference. |
| Transmitter LED flashes red and yellow upon power-on. | Throttle lever is not at its lowest position. | Move the throttle lever to the lowest position to engage the throttle safety. |
| Transmitter LED flashes yellow during operation. | Low battery voltage (below 3.8V). | Replace the transmitter batteries immediately. |
| Controls are reversed. | Channel direction is incorrect. | Use the Channel Reverse function as described in the Operating Instructions. |
| Erratic control or short range. | Interference, low battery, or damaged antenna. | Check battery levels, ensure no strong interference sources nearby, inspect antennas for damage. |
