Q: When R16F/R12F is used together with T16F/R12F, only the first 8 channels of the receiver can work well, but the other channels do not work at all. Why?


A: FHSS V1 and FHSS V2 protocols support 8 channels, but FHSS V2.1 protocol supports 16 channels. When using R16F and 12F, if FHSS V1 or FHSS V2 protocol is selected, only 8 channels are available on the receiver. Please enter MAIN MENU--Receiver Settings--RF SETTINGS--PROTOCOL, and select FHSS V2.1 protocol.

Q: T16D is disconnected from the receiver that has been bound to it, and the LED of the receiver flashes. Why?

A: Please check whether the SD card at the bottom of T16D is loose or dropped. Please re-plug the SD card.

Q: Why the signal is lost when the transmitter and A560 are too close?

A: The New A560 RTF version comes with a RadioLink R8XM receiver. There is signal amplification in R8XM, and the telemetry range is the same as the control range of 4000 meters, so it is best to keep the transmitter and R8XM receiver more than 50 centimeters apart when binding. If the transmitter and R8XM receiver are too close, it is easy to cause a signal block, and the binding cannot be successful. After the binding is successful, if the transmitter and R8XM receiver are too close (for example, within 50 centimeters), the signal may be lost. Bring the transmitter and R8XM receiver farther apart, the signal loss will disappear automatically. So please do not keep the R8XM receiver and transmitter too close when binding or operating the model.
