Remark: This device is accordance with the digital device grade B limitation and the 15th regulation of FCC. This limitation requires reasonable anti- interference protection around the residence. The device can transmit radio wave during use and can interrupt the mobile communication without proper installment. Interruption will occur for special device. If the device do interrupt the radio or television, please turn the device off then turn it on to adjust. Below are some resolution for your reference: *Move the receiving antenna *Enlarge the distance between the device and receiver *Try to not connect the device and the receiver on the same circuit *Ask for professional help from experts 2 Controller with Built-in Charger Power LED (red) Charger LED (green) Flight Direction Trim: Adjusts the right and left direction. Direction Stick: Tap (push and release) left or right to steer. Throttle Stick: Push and hold up for full motor power. Push halfway up for cruising speed. Release to stop. Remove screw and back cover. Insert 6 new “AA” alkaline batteries in the correct polarity. Replace cover and screw. New batteries should be installed after every fourth complete charge of the Star Strike. Flying You peed. Release to stop.

1. Hopping Range Hereby we declare that the maximum range frequency of this device is: 2402-2480MHz. 2. Ho ppi ng Sequence Example of a 79 hopping sequence in data mode: 2.402GHz, 2.403GHz, 2.404GHz, 2.405GHz, 2.406GHz, 2.407GHz, 2.408GHz, 2.409GHz, 2.408GHz........ ..... 2.470GHz, 2.472GHz, 2.473GHz, 2.474GHz, 2.475GHz, 2.476GHz, 2.477GHz, 2.478GHz, 2.479GHz, 2.480GHz 3. Receiver input bandwidth The input bandwidth of the receiver is 1MHz. It employs 1600 hoppings per second ,Signal transmission using FHSS, use 15 channels, channel spacing is 1MHz, 15 frequency points using a pseudo-random in bands produced. The master determines the hopping sequence. The slave fo llows this sequence. Both devices shift between RX and TX time slot according to the clock of the master. Additionally the type of connection is set up at the beginning of the connection. The master adapts its hopping frequency and its TX/RX timing according to the packet type of the connection. Also the slave of the connection will use these settings. Repeating of a packer has no influence on the hopping sequence. The hopping sequence generated by the master of the connection will be followed in any case. That means a repeated packet will not be send on the same frequency, it is send on the next frequency of the hopping sequence.
