Product Support Tips
FAQs
- Why are my servos erratic until I turn my transmitter on?
With power applied to the receiver it is looking for a signal. If the transmitter is not on it will pick up various stray radio signals(RF/noise) in your area and cause servos to appear erratic.
The cardinal rules for RC:
1. When starting, turn on the transmitter 1st and receiver 2nd.
2. When finished, turn off the receiver 1st and transmitter last.
- Is there any risk to using cellular phones in close proximity with my radio?
Absolutey not. Most cellular phones operate in 900Mhz (and above) and should have no effect on your radio's transmission or programming.
- What types of cleaning fluids are appropriate for my transmitter?
Any fuel residue can be removed using a small amount of isopropyl alcohol and a cloth. It will not affect the plastic of your transmitter. Always remove raw fuel immediately from your transmitter.
- Why do the servos shake or 'jitter' when my transmitter is close to the model?
When the transmitter is in close proximity to the receiver the modulated signal can be overdriven. This condition is referred to as "swamping." By collapsing the antenna and stepping away from the model, you should see this condition dissipate.
Make sure to perform a proper range check and then extend the antenna before operating the model.
- How should I store my Transmitter for an extended period?
When storing your TX for an extended period of time, make sure it is wiped clean from fuel or other residue. Disconnect the battery from the transmitter and store the radio in a cool, dry place.
- Why does my throttle (or other specific control surface) not respond today when I had full control yesterday?
This can happen for several reasons.
To fix:
A. Check that the travel adjust is not set at zero or low value.
B. Try switching to another model memory that hasn't been programmed and re-check to see if control has returned.
C. Check to see if servo is properly connected and/or try another servo.
- What is the maximum charge rate?
We recommend 1 amp or less. The transmitter can handle up to 2 amps for short periods of time. For the best results, please use the supplied JR wall charger.
- Why does my transmitter keep blowing fuses?
1. Damaged charge plug.
2. Polarity damage.
3. Static electricity on the charge plug.
4. Charge rate set too high
- What are the common causes of reverse polarity?
The most common reasons for reverse polarity:
1. Charger with improper connection. See your JR Radio Manual
2. Broken battery connector.
3. Altered battery leads
- What is the difference between analog and digital trims?
Analog trim transmitters use a potentiometer to vary a voltage for trim adjustment. Digital trim transmitters have micro-switches to step trim adjustment.
- Does a trainer transmitter (slave) need a battery pack?
Yes, though it is sending it's signal to the master transmitter and not transmitting on its own, the slave requires power for its circuitry that is not supplied by the master.
- Why doesn't the fuse protect against reverse polarity?
The fuse is a device to protect against overcurrent. It's not a polarized component affected by direction of current flow.
- What's the difference between PCM and FM?
FM (Frequency Modulation) uses an analog sine wave to carry data between the transmitter and the receiver. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) uses digital encoding to transfer information between the transmitter and the receiver.
- Why isn't my repair covered under warranty?
Manufacture defects are the only issues covered under warranty. Use, abuse, reverse polarity, stripped gears, etc. are not covered.
