4GHz V3 Radio Control System

Thank you for purchasing our Fly-Dream 2.4GHz V3 Radio Control System. We are sure you will enjoy it. The
following notes will guide you through the simple set up procedures.

FD 2.4GHz V3 radio control system

FD 2.4GHz works with the standard of Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS). It changes frequency
quickly within each band, so that any interfering signal from the environment does not disturb the signal
path between the transmitter and the receiver. This ensures safe, stable operation over a wide range of
conditions likely to be encountered at any flying field.

FD 2.4GHz V3 radio control system’s features

◆Long range (>1200m on ground for 6 and 8 channel systems, >450m for 4 channel system)
◆Light, small, long range receivers.
◆Failsafe. You can set the receiver to default to a pre-set position on all channels in the unlikely
event of signal loss.
◆Automatic frequency scan when turning on the transmitter and receiver ensures no frequency
clash and maximum safety.
◆Transmitter antenna design ensures a stable signal.
◆Bind once, use forever!
◆Range test. Convenient method to check the performance of the system which means you won’t
need to walk kilometers away.
◆Ultra-low-power design. Low power consumption by Transmitter modules and Receivers.

Follow these easy steps to set up your transmitter and receiver.

receiver.

Install the transmitter module

1. Remove the original transmitter module.
2. Put the FD 2.4GHz transmitter module into the module port and screw on the transmitter
antenna.
3. Set your transmitter to PPM / FM mode.

Bind and set Failsafe on the receiver(s)

1. Before installing the receiver(s) in your model(s) follow the instructions below to bind the
receiver to the transmitter.
2. You can set failsafe either in the model or on the bench. It is best to check that the control
surface positions for failsafe are what was intended before flying.

Note: When you do install the receiver in the model try to place the tip of the antenna (the silver
bit(s) approx 33mm long) away from objects with high conductivity, such as metal parts, servos,
ESC's, battery packs, wires, and carbon fiber structures. For receivers with 2 antennas position the
tips of the antennas so they are approximately 90 deg to each other. If possible put the tip of the
antennas (the 33mm long silver bit) outside of the fuselage for maximum reception.

Bind receivers
1. Turn the transmitter on. Make sure that your transmitter is set to PPM (FM) mode, and then
turn the transmitter off. Note:- Receivers will not bind if the transmitter is set to PCM mode.
2. Press the “BIND” button on the TX module and turn on the transmitter. The LED on the module
will light green for 0.5s then go off for 1s. Release the button within this 1s. When you have
changed to “BIND” mode, the LED on the module will flash between red and green. You are then
ready to bind the receivers.
3. The binding procedure is different for IS-

4. Check system operation.
Turn the transmitter on. The module LED should be green. Connect the receiver to the battery.
The red LED on the receiver will flash three times (now it is searching for the frequency) and light
red, indicating the receiver is operating properly. The LED on the receiver will not light when
there is no signal.

After following these steps to program your transmitter and receiver, both modules will continue
to operate together each time you use the modules without further binding.

Set Failsafe

Set failsafe after initial binding or when you change the receiver to another model.
It is best to set failsafe with the receiver connected to all the functions that you intend to use in
your model.

Range checking
For safety, we suggest you conduct a range test before each flying session.
session.
1). Have a friend hold the model for you. Position the model at least two feet (60cm) above
non-metal contaminated ground. If you don’t have anyone to help you, use something like a
wooden bench. Make sure the model cannot move under its own power.
2). Press the “RANGE” button on the module and turn on the transmitter. The yellow LED will
light for 0.5s then go out for 1s. Make sure you release the “RANGE” button within this 1s. The
LED on the module will light yellow. The module is now in “RANGE” mode.
3). Move control sticks on the transmitter and verify that the model is responding normally. Move
away from the model to approx 50m (IS-6R, IS-8R) or 30m (IS-4R). If the control surfaces move as
expected it shows the TX module and receiver are working as expected and can be used. If control
is lost, or the model behaves abnormally, please check and resolve any problems before
conducting another range test. Do not fly if the range test fails and cannot be fixed.
4). When range testing is complete, press the “RANGE” button on the Tx module. The LED on the
TX module will light green, indicating that the TX module has returned to its normal power state.
You can now fly.

During the range test the Transmitter module will have a range of approx 50m (IS-6R, IS-8R)
and 30m (IS-4R). In normal power mode, range is greater than 1,200 meters (IS-6R and IS-8R)
and 450 meters (IS-4R).

Attention：
Attention：
1. Range is affected by the environment .Please range test in the open away from any obstacles.

2. If the transmitter is too close to the receiver (about

(about 5cm)
5cm) the receiver may not work. Simply
move the transmitter away from the the receiver. It will work fine if the transmitter and receiver are
more than 1m apart.

3. Do not fly unless it is safe to do so. Consider the safety of others at all times when flying.
