HITEC Lynx 3D - Manual (Page 4)

DCX Receiver:
Included in the Lynx 3D system is the most advanced surface use receiver on the market today. The
Hitec DCX receiver features dual conversion technology that filters the transmitter’s signal twice,
decreasing the chance of stray RF “noise” causing interference. This “dual conversion” feature
produces the best performance possible in even the most demanding conditions.
Note: When used with and ESC (Electronic Speed Control) the receiver is powered by the ESC
through the throttle channel. When used in a vehicle without an ESC, such as gas or glow engine,
the receiver must be powered with an external 4.8V - 6.0V battery pack that is plugged into the Bat/
DSC channel.
Channel assignments on the DCX receiver:
CH1: Steering
CH2: Throttle
CH3: Auxiliary
Bat/DSC: Battery and DSC (direct Servo Control)
HFS-03MC Receiver:
Included with the Lynx 3D (Some Non U.S. version only) is the 03MC single conversion receiver. The
03MC is the best performing single conversion receiver available today and is also available sepa-
rately as a lower cost alternative to the DCX.
Note: When used with an ESC (Electronic Speed Control) the receiver is powered by the ESC
through the throttle channel. When used in a vehicle without and ESC, such as a gas or glow engine
vehicle, the receiver must be powered with an external 4.8V - 6.0V battery pack that is plugged into
the Bat/DSC channel.
Changing Frequencies:
When using the system in competition environment it may be necessary to change the systems
operating frequency.
Receiver:
Receiver crystals can be changed within the entire band with no loss of performance. Use only
genuine Hitec Dual Conversion receiver crystals in the DCX receiver and only genuine Hitec Single
Conversion crystal in the HFS-03MC receiver.
Transmitter:
The Lynx 3D is equipped with a frequency module and has a crystal plugged into it. You can change
between the 27MHz and 75MHz bands by changing the entire module. To change channels in the
transmitter within the band, it is recommended you replace the entire module tuned to a specific
frequency for maximum performance. However the crystals may be replaced in the module but it will
reduce the performance slightly. Use only genuine Hitec crystals.
Transmitter NiCads and Battery Charging:
The Lynx 3D comes equipped with NiCad batteries in the transmitter and an “overnight” charger for
your convenience. To charge the batteries simply connect the charger to the charging port in the
transmitter case or in the battery box. This can be done while he batteries are in or out of the
transmitter. Normal charging time is approximately 12-18 hours. Caution: Batteries should not be
left on charge for longer than 24 hours.
