TLS-01 TELEMETRY LOGGER SYSTEM inTROducTiOn Thank you for purchasing the Airtronics TLS-01 Telemetry Logger. The TLS-01 Telemetry Logger is a hand-held device, that when used with an Airtronics or Sanwa telemetry-equipped transmitter and receiver, you can monitor and record your model’s telemetry data, including RPM or speed, receiver voltage and two different temperature readings, in addition to steering and throttle output data, all in real-time at the track.
TLS-01 TELEMETRY LOGGER SYSTEM GEnERaL 2.4GHz fREquEncY band pREcauTiOnS l l l l l The 2.4GHz frequency band may be used by other devices, and other devices in the immediate area may cause interference on the same frequency band. Always before use, conduct a bench test to ensure that system is operating properly. Also, conduct a range check at the area of operation to ensure that the radio system has complete control of your model at the farthest reaches of the operational area.
