OPTIC5 2.4 USER MANUAL Hitec RCD INC.
Introducing the Optic 5 2.4 Congratulations and welcome to the R/C world! You now own a basic, but unusually versatile and powerful, 5-Channel beginner’s RC transmitter. The Optic 5 2.4 is all the radio you need to fly the most of 5-Channel fixed-wings aircraft models. Standard features include servo-reversing for all channels, trim adjustments on all control channels, ATV (Adjustable Travel Volume) on Aileron (CH.1) and Elevator (CH.2). The Optic 5 2.
Receiver Installation and Setup Note: Vibration and Water The receiver contains precision electronic parts. Be sure to avoid vibration, shock, and temperature extremes. For protection, wrap the receiver in the provided "Flight Preserver" foam rubber, or use some other vibration-absorbing materials. If you are flying near bodies of water, it's also a good idea to protect the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and securing the open end of the bag with a rubber band before wrapping it with foam.
Connectors Be sure the alignment of a servo or battery connector is correct before inserting it into the receiver. To remove a connector from the receiver, try to pull on the connector's plastic housing rather than pulling on the wires. Pulling the wires can ruin the connector pins and break wires.
No. #58320 TRAINER CABLE (between 6 cell transmitter battery systems) or #58321 TRAINER CABLE FULL PACKAGE (#58320 + Slave DIN + Master DIN) - For use between a 6 cell transmitter battery system and 8 cell transmitter battery system. Operating with a Trainer Cord NOTE: 1. WHEN USING THE TRAINER SYSTEM IN THE STEREO JACK TO STEREO JACK FORMAT AS NOTED IN THE NEXT SEVERAL PARAGRAPHS, BOTH TRANSMITTERS ARE GOING TO TRANSMIT. 2. IF THE SLAVE TRANSMITTER HAS A REMOVABLE MODULE, REMOVE IT.
not transmit the radio signal as long as the trainer cable is connected properly. NOTE: There is no sign of recognition on the LCD screen of the Transmitter using the DIN jack. 4. Between the Transmitter having a DIN jack as INSTRUCTOR and a Transmitter having a STEREO jack as STUDENT. 1) Connect the INSTRUCTOR or DIN Jack adapter marker "Master" with #58320 stereo jack Trainer cable. 2) Power on the INSTRUCTOR transmitter.
Change to ‘Mode 1’ Configuration All Optic 6 Sport 2.4 systems sold in US are in ‘Mode 2’ format. However, you may wish to use Optic 6 Sport in ‘mode 1’ format. There is a menu choice for this option in the Initial Set-Up function menu described on Page 15. After selecting ‘Mode 1’ in the Initial Set-Up Menu, you must do the following hardware set-up in order to change the transmitter 1. Carefully remove the plastic side panels from the transmitter. 2.
Note: We want a good range check to be at least 75 feet or so. - When you are ready to fly your model, position the throttle stick or switch to its low speed or off position. Then, you may turn on the transmitter power followed by the receiver power. - When you have finished flying, turn off the receiver power first then turn off the transmitter power.
On-Off Switch This switch does more than just turn the radio on and off-it also gets you into the initial setup Mode to Link the receivers (One-way, and Telemetry) The switch is coupled to the two LED Indication lights located an inch above it and an inch low left corner-they come on when the switch turned on and go off when the switch is turned off.

recommend that you try to keep all the trim values at the center position. If the values skewed to once side, the servo's full range of travel may be restricted. Setting Trims At this point you must have your plane in front of you and turned on so you can actually see when the control services are in alignment as you change the trim value. 1. Starting with the CH 1 aileron servo, use the trim switch to either increase or decrease the trim value until the control surface is properly aligned on the model. 2.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is possible due to the particular configuration of your servos that servo reverse won't fix the problem-you may get the ailerons working properly but not the elevator response on both servos. Don't worry: You can fix this problem in the elevon programming by changing one of the servo travel volumes to a negative value. 2) Now set the amount (and direction if necessary as noted above) of each servo-both as ailerons and as elevators.
