Frequently asked questions

What safety precautions should be taken before using the 4PLS system?

Do not operate outdoors on rainy days, run through puddles of water, or use the system when visibility is limited, and avoid using it near other radio‑control activity, people, roads, or power lines.

How should the transmitter battery be replaced or recharged?

Use only the specified HT5F1700B battery and the special charger provided; do not substitute commercial AA Ni‑Cd or Ni‑MH cells, and never use the transmitter battery in the receiver.

How do I check and set the fail‑safe function?

Turn on both transmitter and receiver power switches, wait one minute, then turn off the transmitter; the system automatically transfers fail‑safe data. Verify that the servos move to the preset position when reception fails.
