Sleep mode: if no operation on the radio buttons for 10 munites, the display will shut down
to save power, the power indicator light will still on, TX indicator light will continue blink.

3.3 Operation

Press to select the parameter you want to modify, press to enter this parameter

setting, press to modify it, press to confirm and exit the setting.

3.3.1 Channel (CH)

Press to CH setting, press to start radio channel setting, press to modify

it, press to confirm and exit the setting.

3.3.2 Frequency

Press to frequency setting, press to start radio frequency setting, press to

move the cursor, press to modify the frequency, press to confirm and exit the setting.
(Frequency range: 410MHz ~ 450MHz, or 450MHz ~ 470MHz.
If one of the channels frequency is in 410MHz ~ 450MHz, the other channels frequency will be in
410MHz ~ 450MHz too. Otherwise if one of the channels frequency is in 450MHz ~ 470MHz, the
other channels frequency will be in 450MHz ~ 470MHz too.
If one of the channels frequency changes from 450MHz ~ 470MHz to 410MHz ~ 450MHz, the other
channels frequency will automatically reduce 40MHz. Otherwise if one of the channels frequency
changes from 410MHz ~ 450MHz to 450MHz ~ 470MHz, the other channels frequency will
automatically pluse 40MHz.
see below example:
Example 1 CH1 CH2 CH3 CH4 CH5 CH6
Previous frequency 463.125 464.125 465.125 466.125 463.625 464.625
new frequency 444 424.125 425.125 426.125 423.625 424.625

Example 2 CH1 CH2 CH3 CH4 CH5 CH6
