2. Introduction

We are delighted that you have decided to purchase a
MULTIPLEX C SX M-LINK radio control system.
OCKPIT
You are now the owner of an RC transmitter which is

the one hand, and on the other offers the latest, future-
proof technology in the form of the 2.4 GHz M-LINK
sys-tem and a FLASH processor.
The range of applications extends from simple two-axis
model aircraft right up to demanding four-flap gliders
and aerobatic models. At the same time the software
includes a refined helicopter program for all current ro-
tor systems, catering for the demands even of ex-
perienced model helicopter pilots.

Range checking

Regular range checks are very important, as they help
you to feel confident that the radio control system is
SX on
working properly, and enable you to detect changes in
transmission characteristics. Range checking is par-
ticularly important if:
•
you are using components for the first time, or
have changed components, or changed their ar-
rangement in the model;
•
you are using components in a model which have
previously been involved in a crash;
•
you have detected problems when using the sys-
tem.
Important:
•
Always carry out the range check with the help of
a friend who can secure and observe the model
(vehicles and boats on the ground).
•
Range checking should only be carried out in the
special reduced-power mode (LO POW).
! Never try to operate a model in this mode!
•
Major metallic objects (wire fences, cars) will in-
fluence the test results. Keep your distance!
This is the procedure:
1. Switch the transmitter on with the 3-D digi-adjuster
pressed in. The menu LO POW (low power) ap-
pears. Release the 3-D digi-adjuster again.
A brief press on the 3-D digi-adjuster activates
range check mode.
- The blue Status LED glows constantly.
- The screen alternates between LO POW and the
current display.
- A regular warning sound alerts you to the reduced
power setting.
2. Hold the transmitter just as you would when using it
to control a model:
- approx. 1 m above the ground;
- aerial angled at 90° horizontally, and facing right
or left.
3. Model aircraft: place or hold the model in such a
position that the receiving system is about 1 m
above the ground.
Land vehicle or boat: place the model on the
ground or in the water.
Switch the model's power system off!
4. Switch the receiving system on.
Move one control function (e.g. elevator) constantly
and smoothly. This allows you to see clearly
