Connectors
Be careful if you do choose to use a field charger on your batteries.
A fast-charger may overcharge the batteries, causing overheating and a premature failure. Never charge your transmitter or receiver battery at
a rate higher than the batteries capacity.
For example, the capacity of your Optic 6 Sport's 7.2 volt NIMH battery is 1300 mAh and, therefore, should not be charged at a rate any higher
than 1.3 amps.
Try to charge the batteries with the charger supplied with your system exclusively.
The use of a fast-charger may damage the batteries by overheating and dramatically reduce their lifetime.
Before we dive into the programming and use of the Optic Sport 2.4, let's charge the batteries.
1. Connect the transmitter charging cord to the transmitter's charging socket (on the rear of the case, left side).
2. If your aircraft uses a receiver battery, connect it to the receiver connector on the charging cord.
3. Plug the charger into a wall socket.
4. The charger's LEDs should light, indicating charging is in progress.
If either light does not turn on, verify that the transmitter and receiver power switches are OFF.
The batteries should be left on charge for about 15 hours.
Using Servo Wire Extensions
Be sure the alignment of a servo or battery connector is correct before inserting it into the receiver. To remove a connector from the receiver,
try to pull on the connector's plastic housing rather than pulling on the wires. Pulling the wires can ruin the connector pins and break wires.
If any of your servos are located too far away to plug directly into the receiver (like the aileron servo), or you need to unplug the servo each
time you disassemble the model, use a servo extension cord to extend the length of the servo lead.
Additional Hitec extension cords of varying lengths are available from your hobby dealer.
*Warning: During the OPTIC 6 SPORT 2.4’s charging process, turn off the transmitter power
A training cable may be used to help a beginning pilot learn to fly safer by allowing a second transmitter, operated by an experienced instructor,
to be connected to the Optic 6 Sport 2.4 transmitter. The instructor may override the beginner at any time to bring the model back under safe
control. For training, the transmitter may be connected to another Hitec 2.4GHz system using the Hitec cord part No. #58320 TRAINER CABLE
(between 6 cell transmitter battery systems) or #58321 TRAINER CABLE FULL PACKAGE (#58320 + Slave DIN + Master DIN) - For use
between a 6 cell transmitter battery system and 8 cell transmitter battery system.
4. Between the Transmitter having a DIN jack as INSTRUCTOR and a Transmitter having a STEREO jack as STUDENT.
1) Connect the INSTRUCTOR or DIN Jack adapter marker "Master" with #58320 stereo jack Trainer cable.
2) Power on the INSTRUCTOR transmitter.
3) Plug the combined trainer cable into the INSTRUCTOR transmitter DIN jack connection.
4) The STUDENT transmitter should be turned off.
5) Plug the trainer cable into the STUDENT transmitter with the stereo jack. The power to the STUDENT transmitter will turn on automatically
and you will see "SLV MODE" on the LCD screen which means the transmitter is recognized as STUDENT or "Slave".
6) Though the STUDENT transmitter is powered on automatically, it will not transmit a radio signal as long as the trainer cable is connected properly.
3. Between the Transmitter having a STEREO jack as INSTRUCTOR and Transmitter having DIN jack as STUDENT.
1) Power on the INSTRUCTORS Transmitter having the STEREO Jack.
2) Plug the STEREO Jack trainer cable (#58320) into the Master, or INSTRUCTORS transmitter . Note you will see "MAS MODE" on LCD
screen which means the transmitter is recognized as the INSTRUCTOR or "Master".
3) Connect the DIN Jack adapter marked "STUDENT" from the cable package #58320 to the other end of the stereo connector cable.
This combination enables you to connect the cable to the STUDENT transmitter with a DIN Jack connector.
4) Plug the DIN connector into the socket on the STUDENT transmitter.
5) Finally, power on the STUDENT transmitter. Though it is powered on, the STUDENT transmitter will not transmit the radio signal as long as
the trainer cable is connected properly.
1. To use the trainer system between STEREO Jack Transmitter and STEREO Jack Transmitter (Needs #58320 between 6 cell Battery Radios)
1) Set up both the student's and instructor's transmitter to have identical trim and control motions. If the instructor's transmitter is on a different
frequency than the student's, use the student's transmitter as the master transmitter, and the other transmitter as the student's.
2) Turn on the instructor's transmitter and DO NOT turn on the student's transmitter power.
Plug Trainer Cord (#58320 Stereo Jack) accordingly into each transmitter. The trainer jack is on the back of the transmitter.
Then you can see "MAS MODE" on the LCD screen of Instructor's transmitter and "SLV MODE" on the Student's transmitter screen.
3) Move the controls on the instructor's transmitter, and verify each control moves the proper direction. Now verify that the student's trims and
control travels match the instructor's by using the trainer button (the momentary ENG CUT/TRAINER button on the top right of the
transmitter case) and switching on and off while leaving the control sticks and trims alone, then moving the control sticks.
4) The instructor's transmitter has normal control over the model unless the trainer button is pressed, passing control to the student's transmitter.
If the student loses control, the instructor can quickly "take over" by releasing the trainer button and then controlling the model.
2. To use the trainer system between a STEREO Jack Transmitter and a DIN Jack Transmitter.
(Needs trainer cable package #58321 between 6 cell Battery Radio and 8 cell Battery Radio system) ease read the following instruction
carefully for using transmitters with DIN Jack and/or stereo jack for the trainer system. You will need the Trainer cable full package (#58321).
This full package is consists of a STEREO Jack trainer cable(#58320), Instructor DIN Jack and Student DIN Jack Adapter.
This package allows the proper connection between a 6 cell battery system radio (ex. Optic 6 Sport 2.4, Aurora 9) and 8 cell battery system
radios (ex. Optic 6 2.4 / Eclipse 7 2.4).

Charge the Batteries!
NOTE: If you need to remove or replace the transmitter battery, do not pull on its wires to remove it.
Instead, gently pull on the connector's plastic housing where it plugs in to the transmitter.
The battery must be removed to charge it properly with a "peak" charger.
NOTE:
1. WHEN USING THE TRAINER SYSTEM IN THE STEREO JACK TO STEREO JACK FORMAT AS NOTED IN
THE NEXT SEVERAL PARAGRAPHS, BOTH TRANSMITTERS ARE GOING TO TRANSMIT.
2. IF THE SLAVE TRANSMITTER HAS A REMOVABLE MODULE, REMOVE IT.
THEN, IT WILL NOT BE TRANSMITTING. OTHERWISE, IF YOU ARE FLYING AT A CLUB FIELD USING
FREQUENCY CONTROL, BE SURE YOU HAVE THE OK TO USE BOTH FREQUENCIES.
3. IF THERE IS NO REMOVABLE MODULE ON THE SLAVE TRANSMITTER, BOTH TRANSMITTERS MUST BE ON
DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES.
NOTE
This section tells you how to connect the transmitters only.
Please read the prior sections for the full information needed to properly operate the trainer cable system.
NOTE : There is no sign of recognition on the LCD screen of the Transmitter using the DIN jack.
NOTE
1) Do NOT turn on the power of the STUDENT transmitter having the STEREO Jack. Once you plug the trainer
cable into the STUDENT Transmitter using the STEREO Jack, it will be powered on automatically.
2) All Transmitters in the trainer system use their own batteries. Both batteries in both the Instructor and Student
Transmitters should be properly charged and installed when flying in the trainer mode.
3) You may wish to use a simple "contractors cord" knot on the cable to adaptor connection to keep it from
coming "unplugged" when using it. Heat shrink tubing or electrical tape can also be used.
Caution: Stop flying and bring back your aircraft and land at once, when your transmitter start beeps
for low battery warning. (L.B.W. activates when battery level hits below 6.6V)
