- If the servos check out fine, connect the linkage to the servo horns now. Check
to see that the servos are moving in the correct direction. If not, change the
servo direction with the reversing switches located on the back of the radio. The
3rd channel of the Focus 3 SS FM is not reversible.

- If everything checks out then turn the receiver "OFF" first, then the transmitter.
The Focus 3 SS FM offers an internal electronic mix for channels 1 and 2 to
deliver an Elevon or V-tail mix for those aircraft requiring those specific functions.

(Always remembers to never have the receiver "ON" without the transmitter being
"ON". This means when turning your model "ON" always turn the transmitter "ON"
first and "OFF" last)

Now we come to the critical part as proper installation of these components are
essential.

a. Checking Operation of the Servo

- After installation of the servo and receiver into your model is complete, turn the
power "ON" the transmitter (fully extend the antenna) now turn on the receiver.
(Note: Do not connect the linkage to the servos until the servo test procedure
is completed as unexpected movement may damage the servos or the model)

- Check to see if all servos are working properly. If not, check the connections
and/or make sure the main battery pack is charged.
