<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Introduction ===
Congratulations on your purchase of the '''KAVAN R6''', a 6-channel telemetry receiver. It operates on ACCESS transmission system and has 6 high-precision PWM channels and 16 or 24-channel modes using S.BUS. Two detachable antennas with IPEX4 connectors provide full signal strength throughout the range. It's especially perfect for gliders, but you can use it for a variety of other models as well. Thanks to its small size and lightweight, it is also suitable for small models. With redundancy support, it can be connected as a primary receiver via S.BUS. Thanks to the F.BUS connection option, you can also pair it quickly and easily to several different telemetry devices.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
It features advanced interference suppression for reliable stable signal transmission across the entire range. Smart transmission system assignment speeds up pairing. The black box function stores essential flight data. Receiver operating statuses are indicated by an LED indicator. Smart pairing allows firmware updates wirelessly.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
It is also available in a variometer version, which provides more accurate and faster measurement and transmission of altitude and vertical speed data. It also allows instant audio feedback from the variometer to the ACCESS transmitters.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
If you have any questions about the R6 receiver and its operation, please contact the technical support and service staff at '''KAVAN Europe s.r.o.''' by e-mail ('''info@kavanrc.com''' for general technical information, '''servis@kavanrc.com''' for service) or by phone ('''+420 466 260 133''' for general technical information, '''+420 463 358 700''' for service), during business hours 8 am–4 pm, Monday–Friday).

=== Registration and pairing ===
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
==== ACCESS protocol ====
Before you can start using your receiver, you must first register it.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Procedure:
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
1. Begin the registration process by selecting '''[Register]'''.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
2. A window will appear with the message "Waiting...." with a repeating voice prompt "Register".
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
3. Hold down the pairing button on the receiver and turn it on. Wait for the red and green LEDs to light up. The RID and UID can be set at this stage:
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
'''RID:''' This is the unique identifier of the transmitter. It can be changed to the same/own code to use the Smart share feature for sharing models (if you want to share models and own multiple transmitters, or if you share models with other modellers, you must have the same RID set on those transmitters). The RID is the transmitter data (Owner Registration ID) written into the receiver's memory. If two transmitters have the same RID, you can easily share models including receivers between them using the Smart share function.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
'''RX naming:''' the naming of the receiver is done automatically when the receiver is paired for the first time. This name can be changed at any time. This is useful when using more than one receiver, e.g. to remember the settings of the receivers, e.g. '''RX4R1''' is for CH1-8 or '''RX4R2''' is for CH9-16 or '''RX4R3''' is for CH17-24.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
'''UID:''' is used to distinguish multiple receivers used simultaneously in one model. A default value of 0 may be left for a single receiver. If more than one receiver is to be used in one model, the UID must be changed, usually '''0''' for CH1-8, '''1''' for CH9-16 and '''2''' for CH17-24. Note that this UID cannot be read back from the receiver, so it is a good idea to tag the receiver.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
4. Press the '''[Register]''' button to complete the setup. The "Registration OK" dialog box will appear. Press the '''[OK]''' button to continue.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
5. Turn off the receiver. This registers the receiver. However, you still need to pair it with the transmitter to use it.
{{Note|type=error|'''Caution:''' Do not perform pairing with an electric motor connected or an internal combustion engine started.}}
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
==== Pairing ====
Receiver pairing allows a receiver registered in phase 1 to be paired with one of the transmitters. The receiver will then only communicate with this transmitter unless you pair it with another transmitter. Before using the transmitter for the first time, you must perform the range check.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
1. Turn off the power to the receiver.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
2. RX 1 '''[Pairing]''': Select '''[Pairing]''' to start the pairing process. Every few seconds, a "Pairing" voice alert will sound to confirm that you are in pairing mode. A pop-up window will display the message " Waiting for receiver...".
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
3. Turn on the receiver without holding the F/S pairing button. A window will appear with the message "Select Device" and the name of the receiver you just turned on.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
4. Scroll to the receiver name and select it. A message box will appear indicating that the pairing was successful.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
5. Switch off the transmitter and receiver.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
6. Switch on the transmitter and then the receiver. If the green LED on the receiver is lit and the red LED is not lit, the receiver is connected to the transmitter. The pairing of the receiver and transmitter will not need to be repeated unless one is replaced.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
• The receiver will only be controlled by the transmitter it is paired to. Other transmitters in its vicinity will not affect its operation.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
• The name of the RX1 receiver will now be displayed next to the selected receiver.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
• The receiver is now ready for use.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
• If redundant connection is required, repeat for receivers 2 and 3.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Range check ===
A range check should be performed before each flight in case loss of signal is caused by reflection from metal or concrete structures and blocking of the signal by buildings or trees during flight.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
# Place the model at least 60 cm on a non-metallic support (such as a wooden bench). The receiving antenna should be in a vertical position.
# Enter the ETHOS system, go to "RF system", select the "RANGE" mode and press '''[ENTER]'''. In the range check mode, the effective range will be reduced to 1/30.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Fail-safe emergency rates ===
When Fail-safe is turned on, 3 modes are available: No signal, Hold, Custom.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
'''No signal:''' When the signal is lost, the receiver does not send a control signal to rates on any channel. To use this mode, select it from the menu and wait 9 seconds for the Fail-safe setting change to take effect.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
'''Hold:''' The receiver keeps the rates as they were before the signal was lost. To use this type, select it from the menu and wait 9 seconds for the Fail-safe setting change to take effect.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
'''Custom:''' The receiver keeps the rate values on all channels as you preselect it. Select the Fail-safe setting menu. Switch from Disconnect/Hold/Not Set to "Custom". Select the channel for which you want to set fail-safe rates and confirm the selection. Then set the rates on each desired channel and confirm the selection. Wait 9 seconds for the Fail-safe setting change to take effect.
{{Note|type=info|'''Note:''' If fail-safe is not set, the model will always operate with the last functional state of the channels before the signal loss. This could cause potential damage. If fail-safe is disabled on the RF module side, the receiver will go to the default Hold mode. Do not set the Fail-safe mode for the SBUS port to No Signal mode as the signal would be continuously transmitted, set the SBUS port to Hold or Custom mode.}}
