4.2 Binding the Receiver

The binding process establishes a secure communication link between the transmitter and the receiver. Refer to your receiver's specific manual for detailed binding instructions, as procedures may vary slightly. Generally, the steps involve:

1. Ensure the transmitter is powered off.
2. Connect power to the receiver. The receiver's LED indicator will typically flash, indicating it is in binding mode or awaiting a binding signal.
3. While holding the bind button (if present) on the receiver, or following a specific power-on sequence, power on the transmitter.
4. Observe the receiver's LED. A solid light usually indicates successful binding.
5. Power off both the transmitter and receiver, then power them on again in the normal sequence (transmitter first, then receiver) to confirm the binding.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On/Off

• To Power On: Ensure batteries are correctly installed. Flip the power switch on the transmitter to the "ON" position. The power indicator LED will illuminate. Then, power on your model's receiver.
• To Power Off: First, power off your model's receiver. Then, flip the power switch on the transmitter to the "OFF" position.

5.2 Basic Controls

The MC6C transmitter features two primary control sticks (gimbals) and several switches for controlling your model. The specific functions of each channel and switch depend on your model's configuration.

• Gimbals: Control primary functions like throttle, aileron, elevator, and rudder.
• Switches: Used for auxiliary functions such as landing gear, flaps, flight modes, or channel 5 and 6 control.
• Trims: Small levers near the gimbals used to fine-tune the neutral position of control surfaces.

5.3 Low Voltage Alarm

The MC6C transmitter is equipped with a low voltage alarm system. When the battery voltage drops below a safe operating level, the LED indicator will flash, and a buzzer will sound. This indicates that the batteries need to be replaced or recharged immediately to prevent loss of control.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the transmitter. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the transmitter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
• Inspection: Periodically check all switches, gimbals, and connections for any signs of wear or damage.
• Battery Care: Always use fresh, high-quality AA batteries. If using rechargeable batteries, ensure they are fully charged before each use.

7. Troubleshooting

8. Safety Information

• Always operate your RC model in a safe and open area, away from people, animals, and property.
• Never operate your RC model near power lines, roads, or water bodies.
• Ensure the transmitter is powered on before the receiver, and powered off after the receiver, to prevent accidental activation.
• Regularly inspect your model and control system for any damage or loose connections.
• Do not operate the system if you are tired, under the influence of alcohol, or otherwise impaired.
• Keep the product out of reach of children when not in use.
