PPLICATION
The RX-5 light M-LINK is a radio control receiver intended
exclusively for use in model sport applications. It is prohibited to
use it for other applications, such as man-carrying vehicles or
industrial installations.
The RX-5 light M-LINK was designed with minimum possible
size and weight as top priority, and for technical reasons such a
unit cannot offer the same reception characteristics as a larger,
technically more sophisticated and more expensive receiver. In
the interests of safety we recommend that you use a larger

certainly possible to obtain excellent reception characteristics
with a small receiver such as the RX-5 light M-LINK provided
that all the RC system components are carefully arranged, and
the receiver aerial correctly deployed.

OMPATIBILITY
The RX-5 light M-LINK 2.4 GHz receiver can only be used in
conjunction with transmitters which use MULTIPLEX M-LINK
transmission technology.
As of January 2010 these are:
ROYALpro 7, 9 and 16 M-LINK.
ROYALevo or pro 7, 9 and 12 with firmware version V3.xx
and the HFM4 M-LINK 2.4 GHz RF module.
PROFImc 3010, 3030 and 4000 with the HFM3 M-LINK
2.4 GHz RF module.
COCKPIT SX M-LINK.
MULTIPLEX transmitters with the HFMx M-LINK 2.4 GHz
RF module.

The RX-5 light M-LINK receiver works with a wide range of
voltages from 3.5 V ... 9.0 V, i.e. with receiver batteries con-
sisting of 4 to 6 NiXX cells or 2S LiPo / 2S LiIo batteries.
! Note: if you wish to use a five-cell (six-cell) NiXX battery,
check that all the servos, gyros and other components to be
connected to the system are approved by the manufacturer for
use on operating voltages up to 7.5 V (9.0 V). If you wish to use
a 2S LiPo (2S LiIo) pack, check that all the servos, gyros and
other components to be connected to the system are approved
by the manufacturer for use on up to 8.4 V (8.2 V).
! Note: ensure that the power supply is adequate
A power supply system in good condition and of adequate
capacity for the specific application plays an indispensable role
in the safe operation of any model:
Use only high-quality receiver batteries of adequate capacity.
Balance and maintain them carefully, and charge them fully.
Ensure that all cables are of adequate conductor cross-
section. Keep all wiring as short as possible, and use the
absolute minimum of plug / socket connections.
Use high-quality switch harnesses exclusively.
Brief collapses in the power supply voltage (lasting a few
milli-seconds) have no adverse effect on the receiver. Longer
voltage collapses to below 3.5 V may cause a receiver reset,
resulting in a brief interruption in reception. This may be due
to a receiver battery which is almost flat, too weak or defec-
tive, cables of inadequate cross-section, poor-quality con-
nectors or an overloaded or defective BEC system.
