4. To use the trainer system between the Transmitter having a DIN jack as INSTRUCTOR and a Transmitter having a STEREO jack as STUDENT.
1) Connect the INSTRUCTOR or DIN Jack adapter marker "Master" with #58320 stereo jack Trainer cable.
2) Power on the INSTRUCTOR transmitter.
3) Plug the combined trainer cable into the INSTRUCTOR transmitter DIN jack connection.
4) The STUDENT transmitter should be turned off.
5) Plug the trainer cable into the STUDENT transmitter with the stereo jack. The power to the STUDENT transmitter will turn on automatically
(OPTIC 5 2.4 has no LCD screen and “SLV MODE” only)
6) Though the STUDENT transmitter is powered on automatically, it will not transmit a radio signal as long as the trainer cable is connected properly.
3. To use the trainer system between the Transmitter having a STEREO jack as INSTRUCTOR and Transmitter having DIN jack as STUDENT.
1) Power on the INSTRUCTORS Transmitter having the STEREO Jack.
2) Plug the STEREO Jack trainer cable (#58320) into the Master, or INSTRUCTOR’S transmitter . Note you will see "MAS MODE" on the LCD
screen which means the transmitter is recognized as the INSTRUCTOR or "Master".
3) Connect the DIN Jack adapter marked "STUDENT" from the cable package #58320 to the other end of the stereo connector cable.
This combination enables you to connect the cable to the STUDENT transmitter with a DIN Jack connector.
4) Plug the DIN connector into the socket on the STUDENT transmitter.
5) Finally, power on the STUDENT transmitter. Though it is powered on, the STUDENT transmitter will not transmit the radio signal as long as
the trainer cable is connected properly.
1. To use the trainer system between STEREO Jack Transmitter and STEREO Jack Transmitter (Needs #58320 between 6-cell battery radios).
1) Set up both the student's and instructor's transmitter to have identical trim and control motions. If the instructor's transmitter is on a different
frequency than the student's, use the student's transmitter as the master transmitter, and the other transmitter as the student's.
2) Turn on the instructor's transmitter and DO NOT turn on the student's transmitter power.
Plug Trainer Cord (#58320 Stereo Jack) accordingly into each transmitter. The trainer jack is on the back of the transmitter.
(The OPTIC 5 has no LCD screen and “SLV MODE” only)
3) Move the controls on the instructor's transmitter, and verify each control moves the proper direction. Now verify that the student's trims and
control travels match the instructor's by (the momentary ENG CUT/TRAINER button on the top right of the transmitter case) switching the
trainer button on and off while leaving the control sticks and trims alone then move the control sticks.
4) The instructor's transmitter has normal control over the model unless the trainer button is pressed, passing control to the student's transmitter.
If the student loses control, the instructor can quickly "take over" by releasing the trainer button and then controlling the model.
2. To use the trainer system between a STEREO Jack Transmitter and a DIN Jack Transmitter.
(Needs trainer cable package #58321 between 6-cell battery radio and 8-cell battery radio systems). Please read the following instructions
carefully for using transmitters with DIN Jack and/or stereo jack for the trainer system. You will need the Trainer cable full package (#58321).
This full package consists of a STEREO Jack trainer cable(#58320), Instructor DIN Jack and Student DIN Jack Adapter.
This package allows the proper connection between a 6-cell battery system radio (ex. Optic 5 2.4, Optic 6 Sport 2.4, Aurora 9) and 8-cell battery
system radio (ex. Optic 6 2.4 / Eclipse 7 2.4).
Operating with a Trainer Cord
NOTE:
1. WHEN USING THE TRAINER SYSTEM IN THE STEREO JACK TO STEREO JACK FORMAT AS NOTED IN
THE NEXT SEVERAL PARAGRAPHS, BOTH TRANSMITTERS ARE GOING TO TRANSMIT.
2. IF THE STUDENT TRANSMITTER HAS A REMOVABLE MODULE, REMOVE IT.
THEN, IT WILL NOT BE TRANSMITTING. OTHERWISE, IF YOU ARE FLYING AT A CLUB FIELD USING
FREQUENCY CONTROL, BE SURE YOU HAVE THE OK TO USE BOTH FREQUENCIES.
3. IF THERE IS NO REMOVABLE MODULE ON THE STUDENT TRANSMITTER, BOTH TRANSMITTERS MUST BE ON
DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES.
NOTE
This section tells you how to connect the transmitters only.
Please read the prior sections for the full information needed to properly operate the trainer cable system.
NOTE
1) Do NOT turn on the power of the STUDENT transmitter having the STEREO Jack. Once you plug the trainer
cable into the STUDENT Transmitter using the STEREO Jack, it will be powered on automatically.
2) All Transmitters in the trainer system use their own batteries. Both batteries in both the Instructor and Student
Transmitters should be properly charged and installed when flying in the trainer mode.
3) You may wish to use a simple "contractors cord" knot on the cable to connect the adapter and to keep it from
coming "unplugged" when using it. Heat shrink tubing or electrical tape can also be used.
