Range Testing Your R/C System
It is extremely important to range check your models prior to each flying session. This enables you to

The T14SG transmitter incorporates a system that reduces its power output and allows you to perform such
a range check.
Range check mode
We have installed a special "Range check
mode" for doing a ground range check. To access
the "Range check mode" touch and hold the RTN
button while turning on the transmitter. Doing so

To activate the "Range check mode" touch the
RTN button and the range check mode screen will

During this mode, the RF power output is
reduced so the range test can be performed. In

Should you require additional time to perform
a range check, highlight Restart before your time
expires and press the RTN button one time.
Range check procedure
1. With the "Range check mode" on, walk
away from the model while simultaneously
operating the controls. Have an assistant
stand by the model to confirm that all
controls are completely and correctly
operational. You should be able to walk
approximately 30-50 paces from the model
without losing control.
2. If everything operates correctly, return to
the model. Set the transmitter in a safe, yet
accessible, location so it will be within reach
after starting the engine or motor. Be certain
the throttle stick is in the low throttle position,
