f. After 5 or 30 minutes of inactivity (pushbutton not pressed) the receiver MAIN relays

are temporarily disconnected (refer to section 4.1.5 Inactivity Timer Settings). The

Status LED blinks 3 reds and then shuts off. Press any pushbutton or execute the

6.2. Master/Master Tandem Operation (Tandem

models)

a. To gain control of one or both receivers, first rotate

the selector switch to either A, B or A+B position

and then execute the START command to activate

the receiver MAIN relays inside receiver A,

receiver B, or both receivers (depending on the

selector switch position). In order to gain control

of a receiver, the PITCH pushbutton on the other

transmitter must be pressed prior to your takeover.

For example, in order for transmitter-A to gain

control of receiver-B, transmitter-B must first

release its control of receiver-B by first rotate the

selector switch to B position and then press the

PITCH pushbutton for up to 2.0 seconds. This

action releases transmitter-B control of receiver-B. Transmitter-A is then able to take

control of receiver-B by first rotate the selector switch to B position and then execute

the START command. Make sure the START command is executed 2.0 seconds

after transmitter-B presses the PITCH pushbutton (refer to diagram below).
