Engaging lights (front and rear)
Now you can enact night missions with even more realism.

Wiring the 4-channel receiver
The change from 2-channels to 4-channels is made possible by adding two more wires from the DMD Control Unit T-05 to the receiver. This re-wiring will enable the receiver to pick up 4 signals. The DMD Control Unit T-05 will automatically differentiate signals when turned on.

Programming the DMD Control Unit T-05
It is always necessary to program the DMD Control Unit T-05. Turn the transmitter switch on and set all trim levers to neutral-position. Program in the following order:

2) Set Left Control Stick (up/down)
Move left control stick from the neutral position to the full up and then to the full down position. Drive indicator light will continue to flash red-orange-green.
3) Set Right Control Stick (left/right)
Move right control stick from the neutral position to the full right and then to the full left position. Drive indicator light will continue to flash red-orange-green.
4) Set Right Control Stick (up/down)
Move left control stick from the neutral position to the full up and then to the full down position. Drive indicator light will continue to flash red-orange-green.
5) Set Left Control Stick (left/right)

After completing steps 2-5, L and R indicator lights will alternately flash green and programming will be complete. At this point the computer will have finished recording the control sticks' range of movement.
