the engine to speed up. Also, damage to your transmitter may occur.
In order to maintain complete control of your aircraft it is important that it remains visible at all
times. Flying behind large objects such as buildings, grain bins, etc. is not suggested. Doing so may
result in the reduction of the quality of the radio frequency link to the model.
Do not cover/hold the built-in antenna part of T8J-2.4G transmitter by your hand during
À\LQJ Do not put any conductive plate/sticker on the antenna part. Otherwise, the operating range
may become shorter.
As with all radio frequency transmissions, the strongest area of signal transmission is from the sides
of the transmitter's antenna. As such, the antenna should not be pointed directly at the model. If your

Don’t fly in the rain! Water or moisture may enter the transmitter through the antenna or stick
openings and cause erratic operation or loss of control. If you must fly in wet weather during a
contest, be sure to cover your transmitter with a plastic bag or waterproof barrier. Never fly if
lightning is expected.
