Remote Control Specifications and Parameters

Receiver Specifications and Parameters (MC8RE-V2)

Detailed Description

Power Supply:

The remote control operates on DC4-8.4V. It can be powered by four AA (No. 5) batteries or a 2S lithium battery inserted into the battery compartment. An external power supply can also be connected to the DC power socket on the right side of the remote control. When using an external power supply, remove the batteries from the compartment first.

Note: The DC port is not a charging port; it is for external power connection only, such as for simulator teaching.

First Use and Frequency Pairing

First Use:

Upon first use, compare the frequency between the transmitter and receiver. After successful frequency comparison, perform a short-distance test by holding the transmitter 10-15 meters away from the receiver and operating the transmitter's rocker. If the model responds correctly, the transmitter and receiver are working properly.

Frequency Pairing:

To pair the remote control and receiver:

1. Turn off the remote control and power on the receiver.
2. Press the frequency control button on the receiver. The indicator light will flash quickly, indicating it has entered frequency control mode.
3. Turn on the remote control. The receiver indicator light will turn on, signifying successful signal reception.

Low Voltage Alarm

A ticking sound and blinking power indicator on the remote control signal low battery. This occurs when the voltage of 4 x AA batteries drops below 4V or the voltage of 2 x Li-ion batteries drops below 7V. The remote control needs to be charged.

Suggestions for Safe Shutdown

To ensure safety:

1. After the model's motor stops running, first turn off the model's power supply.
2. Then, turn off the transmitter power.

Remote Calibration

Follow these steps for remote calibration:

1. Pull the left rocker to the upper right corner and the right rocker to the upper left corner.
2. Simultaneously, turn on the remote control's power to enter the joystick calibration state.
3. Pull both joysticks to their maximum extents: left, right, up, and down.
4. Return the rockers to the center position.
5. Finally, pull the D/R switch to complete the calibration.

Fine Adjustment Switch Configuration

The fine adjustment switches control different channels:

• Lower left trimming switch: Channel 4
• Right trimming switch: Channel 1
• Upper left fine adjustment switch (left mode): Channel 3
• Upper left fine adjustment switch (right arrow mode): Channel 2
• Upper right fine adjustment switch (left mode): Channel 2
• Upper right fine adjustment switch (right mode): Channel 3

The diagrams illustrate the left-hand and right-hand modes for these adjustments.

Matters Needing Attention

Safety Precautions:

1. This product is not a toy and is not suitable for children under 12. Keep out of reach of children.
2. Do not use in harsh weather conditions (thunderstorms, snow, etc.).
3. Avoid using in wet conditions, as water ingress can cause short circuits.
4. Be aware of signal interference sources: mobile phone towers, high-voltage power lines, communication antennas, military radar, and areas with complex wireless communication.
5. Do not operate when tired, unwell, or under the influence of substances.
6. Keep the model within your line of sight. Obstacles can block signals.
7. Ensure correct installation of the remote control and model, with all controls functioning in the same direction to prevent damage.
8. If the remote control distance is too far, control may be lost. Shorten the distance. Low battery voltage can also cause signal loss. Replace batteries promptly when the POWER indicator flashes and alarms.
9. When shutting down, always turn off the receiver's power supply first, then the remote control. Failure to do so may result in loss of control.
10. Improper use can lead to serious injury or death. Operate with care and follow instructions.
11. Microzone's 2.4G wireless transmission systems use paired remote controls and receivers. Other company's products are not compatible.
