Transmitter/Receiver Binding

Binding is the process that links the transmitter and receiver. Typically, they are supplied pre-bound.

To bind the transmitter and receiver:

1. Push down the throttle stick (Left Stick, MODE 2) to the end and switch on the transmitter.
2. Switch on the receiver by its battery box power button.
3. Press and hold the “BIND” button on the receiver until its red LED flashes, then release. A solid green LED on the receiver indicates successful binding.

Note: For effective binding, the transmitter and receiver should be within one meter of each other, and no other similar devices should be within 10 meters.

Preparations for Sailing

Before sailing your DF65/95 for the first time:

• Always turn the transmitter on before the receiver, and turn the receiver off before the transmitter.
• Ensure all sails, rigging, rings, and fittings are properly installed and adjusted.
• Switch the “MXMD” button to the OFF position, as the DF65/95 does not require mix control.

Checking Radio and Sailboat Function (MODE 2):

• The DF65/95 RTR uses a 2.4GHz 4CH radio system, but only 2CH are needed for sailing.
• Sail Control: The sail control stick adjusts the main boom and jib boom. If the sail movement is reversed, use the sail servo reverse switch. Sail servo neutral can be adjusted using the sail neutral position trim button.
• Rudder Control: Pushing the rudder control stick left turns the rudder left, and right turns it right. If the rudder movement is reversed, use the rudder servo reverse switch. Rudder neutral can be adjusted using the rudder neutral position trim button.
• Dual Rate Adjustment: Use the supplied plastic screwdriver to adjust the rudder dual rate (rudder throw angle) and throttle dual rate (winch line travel distance). Refer to your DF65/95 boat manual for specific details.

Transmitter Mode Switching

The J4C05 transmitter is supplied in MODE 2. To switch to MODE 1:

1. Open the battery cover and switch the MODE button to MODE 1.
2. Secure the up-left screw.
3. Partially tighten the down-left screw to adjust the throttle stick (right stick) spring tension.
4. Completely unscrew the down-right screw.
5. Partially unscrew the up-right screw to adjust the elevator stick (left stick) spring tension.

To switch back to MODE 2, reverse the process, ensuring the correct screws are adjusted for throttle and elevator stick tension.

Charging (For Rechargeable Batteries)

The J4C05 transmitter has a charge jack for rechargeable AA cells (not included). Use a suitable battery charger with an output of 6V, Max 100mA.

• Caution: Never attempt to charge dry cell batteries, as they may leak or explode.
• Caution: Do not leave the radio/charger unattended while charging.
• Caution: Disconnect the battery charger from the power supply when not in use to prevent accidents.

Note: Depleted rechargeable batteries should be taken to a designated recycling center for disposal.
