But when I plugged in to the m12, it sounded an alarm and showing over voltage on the screen. I immidiately switched it off and plugged off the battery.
I just realised that it only needs 2s lipos. .
I then take the normal alkali AA batteries to switch in on and it works ok. But ive not bind the receiver yet.
My question is will it damage the transmitter?
Thanks for viewing in advance.
Do advise.
If you read in the manual that 2s Is the max then its possable that you have damaged it. I don't have an M12 but I have a brand new MT4 and it states In the manual do not use any thing larger than 2S lipos!!!! I would suppose but not sure that the M12 operates on the same Voltage levels as the MT4 which is 4.0 to 9.6 volts. If you got the transmitter to come on with the 4 AA alkaline batteries then try to bind your receiver to it and hook up two servos to the receiver and see if the servos move with inputs from your transmitter. If that works then I would say That your radio is all right but if not then you will have to send it to Airtronics to get it fixed and they may not cover that because you hooked up the wrong battery. So Give it try!!! Michael Johnston
