™ ™ 2.4GHz Radio Adapter INSTRUCTION MANUAL The AnyLink SLT 2.4GHz Radio Adapter allows nearly any R/C transmitter (Tx) to bind with Tactic’s ultra-small, lightweight, and inexpensive 2.4GHz receivers (Rx). Futaba® and Hitec® brand transmitters must have a trainer jack. JR® and Spektrum® transmitters must have a charge jack and trainer/D.S.C. jack. See page 15 for a Tx compatibility chart. Such transmitters can originally be designed for use on 72MHz, 2.4GHz, FM, PCM, etc.
MOUNTING ANYLINK Mount AnyLink high on the rear of the Tx, and extend its antenna to point upwards from the top of the Tx as much as possible. Rotate the antenna as shown above. Two strips of hard locking fasteners are included for attaching AnyLink to the rear of the host Tx. INPUT POWER AND TRANSMITTER CONNECTIONS Cables are included for attaching AnyLink to Futaba radios having a square trainer jack, and compatible JR/Spektrum radios. Other cables are available separately (see page 9).
An optional cable is required to connect Hitec’s Tx module pins Aurora Tx to AnyLink (see page 9). Remove the antenna and module from the Aurora Tx.Once connected to AnyLink, attach the cable’s second connector to the three Hitec Aurora Tx left-most module pins on the rear of the Tx, as shown. Make SURE the metal terminals on the cable face upwards when connecting to the Tx.
ANYLINK OPERATION IMPORTANT! Remove the propeller from the airplane prior to operating AnyLink with the radio system. Failure to do so could result in personal injury if the motor unexpectedly turns during setup. 1. Remove the Rf module or crystal from the host Tx if possible. Leave the Tx’s own antenna in a retracted or folded position. AnyLink’s own antenna will transmit the signal to the Tactic Rx. 2. Make sure 72MHz computer radios are set to PPM mode. 3.
6. Confirm that AnyLink’s LED is now on. Apply power to the Rx and servos. Move the Tx sticks to determine if all controls in the model are mapped correctly as shown in this table. If mapped correctly, skip to the TACTIC RECEIVER section on page 6. If some channels are NOT mapped properly, go to the CHANNEL MAPPING section below.
7. Release the Tx rudder stick. If AnyLink was previously in Futaba/ Hitec mode, it should now have sounded two tones ● ● to indicate it’s now in JR/Spektrum mode. If AnyLink was previously in JR/ Spektrum mode, it should now have sounded one tone ● to indicate it’s now in Futaba/Hitec mode.
FAILSAFE FUNCTION: Many of Tactic’s flight receivers include a failsafe function which can engage if the radio signal from AnyLink somehow becomes interrupted. Refer to the instructions included with your Tactic Rx to determine if it includes the failsafe function. If radio signal is broken, the Rx failsafe feature can cause the servos to automatically move either to a certain position, or hold their last position to prevent the model from moving in an erratic manner.
SYSTEM CHECK AND OPERATION Check the general operation of the system and all flight equipment before attempting a flight. WARNING! During all pre-flight preparations with the aircraft on the ground, make sure the throttle stick remains at the minimum position and do not stand the Tx upright on the ground. Carefully lay the Tx on its back on the ground to prevent it from falling over and possibly dislodging the throttle stick from the low position which would create a safety hazard.
5. Observe the model’s surfaces to ensure they move to the previously set failsafe positions. 6. If failsafe operation is correct, re-connect power to the system as explained earlier and prepare for flight. If the failsafe function does not operate correctly, re-check the TACTIC RECEIVER and SYSTEM CHECK AND OPERATION sections and re-try.

TROUBLESHOOTING RANGE IS SHORT: Interference – Check Rx installation and servo connections. Low Tx or Rx battery – Replace the batteries or recharge as needed. AnyLink case and/or antenna not oriented properly – Rotate AnyLink on Tx, or re-direct position of the antenna. Rx location – Relocate the Rx to a different position in the model for better reception. RUN TIME IS SHORT: Low Tx battery – Replace or recharge the batteries.
