We recommend the following procedure to familiarize

yourself with the components of your system and as

preparation for installation in your model.

Remove the transmitter from the package box.

Affix frequency channel identifier plaques to

the transmitter a s shown in picture below.

Charge the receiver and transmitter batteries

as stated in the Installation and Guidelines

Manual. DO NOT QUICK CHARGE

BATTERIES AT ANY TIME.

Switch on the transmitter and note the LED

display meter indicating the unit is operatin g.

The LED display will light up and indicate the

state of charge of the internal NiCd battery

pack. Plug in the AC charger in the wall outlet

and connect the proper leads in the transmitter

and receiver battery and let charge for a full

24 hours for the first initial charge. After both

batteries are fully charged, note the LED

display to make sure that the FULL light is

operating properly. If the FULL LED will not

light up after a 24-hour charge, your

transmitter RF output maybe weak, this will

need to be sent to AIRTRONICS to be

checked.

Switch "off" the transmitter and remove all of

the other components from the foam packing

box containing your AIRTRONICS

VG400/VG600 FM radio control system.

Figure 2 shows how to connect the

components of your system together. Note the

servo and switch harness plugs are inserted in

the receiver. This will allow you to switch the

receiver battery on and or off. At this point,

your objective is to get the system operating

on your workbench. Once connected, you

must then refe r to the corresponding diagram

for your system (Figure 3), showing the

transmitter control stick's function.

WARNING: Do not attempt to use the transmitter if the

LED lights are not visible from MID to Full.

CAUTION: IF NO LIGHTS ARE VISIBLE WHEN

YOU TURN THE TRNSMITTER SWITCH ON, THE

BATTERY PACK WITHIN THE TRANSMITTER IS

MORE LIKELY DISCHARGED. CHARGE THE

BATTERIES AS OUTLINED UNDER SECTION IV

BATTERY CHARGING, IN THE INSTALLATION

AND GUIDELINES MANUAL.

REMEMBER THAT IF A TRANSMITTERS

PERFORMANCE HAS DROPPED IT MAY FAIL TO

SEND THE SIGNALS NECESSARY TO

ADQUATELY AND SAFELY CONTROL THE

MODEL RESULTING IN A POSSIBE CRASH.

TAKE THE TIME TO LEARN THE NAMES OF ALL

COMPONENTS YOU ARE GOING TO CONNECT

AND TO IDENTIFY ALL OF THE TRANSMITTER

CONTROL STICK'S FUNCTIONS AND NAMES

ATTACHED TO THOSE FUNCTIONS.

NOTE THE FOLLOWING AT THIS POINT:

It is of no consequence at this point which servo you

plug into which function since your aim is simply to

learn and see how the system operates on your bench.

The correct channel outputs are indicated on the

receiver case.

The connectors on your AIRTRONICS radio control

system are rugged but should be handled with care. The

receiver that came with your unit is designed for the

new "Z" connector servos only. The older

AIRTRONICS connectors will not work with this new

system. You must use a connector plug adapter part

#99400Z in order to use older AIRTRONICS servos,

switch harness and or batteries.

WARNING: IF YOU CONNECT OLDER

AIRTRONICS SERVOS AND OR BATTERIES

WIT HOUT USING THE CORRECT ADAPTER, YOU

MAY SHORT OUT YOUR SYSTEM AND CAUSE

MAJOR DAMAGE TO YOUR FLIGHT PACK.

SHORTED SYSTEMS WILL NOT BE COVERED

UNDER ANY WARRANTY.

Do not attempt to force the servo plugs into the receiver;

properly align each plug and it will move into place.

The same is true of the plug leading from the receiver

battery pack and switch harness.
