Yeh, thats what I was thinking too. Confusing question. The charge switch is used in place of the standard switch so you have access to charge rx battery on side of fuselage. The connection opposite the charge access door goes in the rx battery slot. The other connects to the battery.

This charge switch is one of the easier ones to hook up. Mount the switch in the side of the plane. Connect the battery to one lead of the switch and the other leadon the switch will plug directly into the "Batt"port on the receiver. You can't hook it up backwards as there is only one way to plug every thing in on the switch. When the switch is in the off position you will be able too hook up your charger to the charge jack and recharge the battery in the plane.

Roger, the JRPA004 replaces the old JRPA001 that you have had in your model; hence, there is no connection to be made between them.
The only difference is that the male plug where you connect the charger into is built-in the body of the JRPA004 switch.

As Ken has explained, there is no way to connect it wrong.

I assume the JRPA004 being "JR" that the receiver can be bound through the charge jack like the JRPA001????

Airbusdrvr beat me to the punch with his question. Can one of you experts answer this question for Airbusdrvr and me?Can I bind the RX through the Charge Jack of the JRPA004 Charge Switchor do I still have to access the Charge/Bind connector on the JRPA001 Switch Harness? Your help will be very much appreciated.

Please and Thank-you

Lnewoban, thank-you so much for the information, when it comes to electric switches etc. I tend to be behind the 8 ball. The reason I asked the question is; I thought if I installed the JRPA004 alongwith the already installedJRPA001, I would be able to charge the battery and bind the TX without having to remove the wing. Can I bind the TX through the JRPA004 charge receptical?

I am sorry, ForcesR, I don't understand exactly what you are trying to do.

I can tell you this:

When either one of these switches is in "OFF" position, the circuit charger-battery is closed, and the receiver is isolated.

When either one of these switches is in "ON" position, the circuit receiver-battery is closed, and the charger is isolated.

As far as I know it doesn't matter what brand of switch you have. I never use JR brand switches and I had no problems binding my two Spektrum AR7000 Rx's to my DX7. I use EMS switches. Your radio doesn't know which brand of switch you have. If this is what you're asking.

Good morning LNEWQBAN, thank-you for taking the time to explain switcholgy to me. As Imentioned earlier, electrical switches etc. arefar from being my strong point. It was always apain in my backside every time I needed to charge the battery or re-bind the RX using the charge jack on the JRPA001 switch (had to remove the wing to gain access to the charge jack). When I seen the JRPA004 charge switch I thought, gee I could connect that in series with the charge jack on the JRPA001 switch and never have to remove the wingwhenever I needed to charge the battery or re-bind the RX. I didn't realize that the JRPA004 charge switch wouldcompletely replace the JRPA001 switch. With your explanationI removedthe JRPA001 and installed the JRPA004 charge switch. It does what I wanted to accomplish in the first place, charge the battery and re-bind the RX without having to remove the wing; the charge/bind jack is now externally accessible. Thank-you again for taking the time to respond to my questions andlistening to my rambling, your help is very much appreciated.

You are very welcome, Roger; glad the solution was so simple and effective.
