these displays would remain stable for a long time in the near distance due to the full transmission output.
Toperformarangetestintheneardistance,youcanreducethetransmissionoutputwithabutton.
Forarangetest,pushthebutton“SW2”(buttonatthebottomofthegrip).Thisreducesthetransmissionoutput;the

the transmitter again in time.
Inthemenu“RXsetup”,submenu“Choosesensors”,youcancongurethepermanentdisplayofthesevalues.The
range of the remote control can be estimated better this way.
It is also possible to use the values received in the range test as threshold values for an acoustical warning. For
this,activatethisfunction,e.g.inthesubmenu“SignalStrength”atthelowerleft,andprogrammethecorresponding
threshold values. This measure will warn you in time before losing reception if the distance between transmitter and
receivergrowstoolarge(orifthereisanyproblemwithreception),andyoucansteerthemodelbacktowardsthe
transmitter again with suitable driving manoeuvres.
