Which do you turn on first?

[luv2flyguy]

Hey guys- I am new to the 2.4 radio, just now switching over and have a new 9303 2.4, I was just wondering which one do you turn on first when you are getting ready to fly? Do you turn on your receiver and then the transmitter (I always did it this way on 72mhz) or do the opposite, transmitter first and then the receiver? And I guess you would shut the system down in the same manner? Thanks

I've done it like 72mhz. On: Transmitter, then receiver. Off: Receiver then transmitter.

transmitter first on and last off. if your failsafe throttle is not set right and not at idle could be bad.

Same as James, turn on transmitter first, then reciever. Turning off, first the plane then transmitter

Tip on Using 2.4GHz Systems

While your DSM equipped 2.4GHz system is intuitive to

operate, functioning nearly identically to 72MHz systems,

following are a few common questions from customers:
1. Q: Which do I turn on first, the transmitter or the

receiver?

A: If the receiver is turned on first, all servos except

for the throttle will be driven to their preset fail-safe
positions set during binding. At this time, the throttle
channel doesn’t put out a pulse position preventing
the arming of electronic speed controllers or, in the
case of an engine-powered aircraft, the throttle servo

remains in its current position. When the transmitter is

then turned on, the transmitter scans the 2.4GHz band
and acquires two open channels. Then the receiver that
was previously bound to the transmitter scan the band
and finds the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier code)
stored during binding. The system then connects and
operates normally.
If the transmitter is turned on first, the transmitter
scans the 2.4GHz band and acquires two open

channels. When the receiver is then turned on for a

short period (the time it takes to connect), all servos
except for the throttle are driven to their preset
fail-safe positions while the throttle has no output
pulse; The receiver scans the 2.4GHz band looking
for the previously stored GUID; and when it locates
the specific GUID code and confirms uncorrupted
repeatable packet information the system connects and
normal operation takes place. Typically this takes 2 to

6 seconds.

Thanks guys- Hope everyone for the help, this website is priceless !

radio and then the airplane, heli, car, etc... YOU will really surprice what a electric heli can do if you turn first the esc.. the same with airplanes.

Just make sure you don't turn your tx off while your plane is still in the air. Can't be good.

BaDump-bump! Zing! :rimshot:

I've never done GS electrics. They do anything different for 2.4? I'm guessing the order's the same.

I try to always go for the best looking one. The rest are second.

Seriously....if you really "have" to ask this question....you have been very lucky...especially with electrics.

I used to do this with my mini ultrastick. I'd put it in a really high flat spin and turn the specktrum off in hold last position off for about 10 spins and back on and see how long it took to rebind. I quit that after a few close calls.

Haha, I think I would've quit after the first close call!!!

Always transmitter on first,then transmitter turned off last.
