4. Operating Instructions

The KO Propo 2.4GHz Antenna Support is a passive component. Once correctly installed, it requires no further operational input. Its function is to provide continuous physical support and protection to the antenna during the normal operation of your radio control system. Ensure the support remains securely in place before each use of your transmitter.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the antenna support.

• Inspection: Periodically inspect the antenna support for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Ensure it remains firmly attached to the antenna.
• Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the support with a clean, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these may damage the material.
• Storage: When not in use, store your transmitter in a clean, dry environment to protect all components, including the antenna support, from environmental damage.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with the antenna support, consider the following:

• Loose Fit: If the antenna support feels loose, re-check its position. Ensure it is pushed fully onto the antenna. If it consistently remains loose, it may indicate wear or incompatibility.
• Damage: If the support is cracked or broken, it should be replaced immediately to ensure proper antenna protection. Continued use of a damaged support may compromise antenna integrity.
• Antenna Interference: The antenna support is designed not to interfere with signal transmission. If you experience unexpected signal issues after installation, verify the support is correctly installed and not obstructing any critical antenna elements.
