Default My Plantraco DSP4 Didn't come with Manual, HELP.

Hi. I got a new Plantraco DSP4 receiver and it didn't come with a manual. My email to the company went un-answered. If someone could tell me who has specifically a DSP4 receiver (orange color ya know) with the following info or could fax or email me a copy of the manual/sheet that would be great. PM me for fax number. OR if you could answer these questions, I should be fine.
What channel do you plug each servo into? Aileron, Elevator, Rudder and what channel does the esc plug into?
I think I heard this receiver has a low voltage cut-off? If so, how do you set it? Do you need to set it?
Lastly, does this receiver have a program feature, and other bells or whistles I need to know?

Thank you in advance, any answers to the questions are welcome.

The website is always a good place to check for a product manual: http://www.plantraco.com/hobbies/help.html

The manual they have is for the dsp4-sc. I only have the DSP4. But, I did miss the "they will fax the necessary documents" part.

My advice is dont use it. I lost a plane on maiden to this rx. After full range check and all. If you have any glitches at all bewarned before you fly. Does your crystal fitt well? Mine didnt.

Hmm I noticed that the crystal went in easy. In fact if I don't figure out how to make it tighter it might fall out. You think that was the problem with your glitches? Since you had one...Does it matter what channel the receiver is powered from the esc? 3? What if you use a seperate receiver pack? I got nothing from the company.

Hi. I got a new Plantraco DSP4 receiver and it didn't come with a manual.
What channel do you plug each servo into?
Channel 1 = Aileron
Channel 2 = Elevator
Channel 3 = Throttle (this is where you plug in your ESC)
Channel 4 = Rudder

I think I heard this receiver has a low voltage cut-off?
No, it does not.

Lastly, does this receiver have a program feature
No, it does not.

Does it matter what channel the receiver is powered from
No, it does not.

What if you use a seperate receiver pack?
Be aware: most ESCs have a BEC circuit that feeds power to your receiver from the motor battery. If you want to use a separate RX battery along with a BEC-equipped ESC, you must disconnect the red (power) wire between the ESC and the receiver.

Hope this helps!
