5. Operating Instructions

The Reflex Stick Multi Pro offers comprehensive control features:

• Proportional Channels: Four channels are fully proportional and freely adjustable, typically controlled by the joysticks. These allow for precise control of steering, throttle, and other proportional functions.

• Switching Channels: The system includes 5 buttons for on/off/on functions and 5 switches for on/off/on functions, providing a total of 10 switching channels for auxiliary controls like lights, sounds, or other accessories.
• Servo Reverse: Channels 1-4 feature a servo reverse function, allowing you to change the direction of servo movement if needed. This is crucial for correct control response.
• Trimming Function: Channels 1-4 also include a trimming function, which is performed via a slider. This allows for fine adjustments to the neutral position of your proportional controls, ensuring straight tracking or stable hovering.
• Battery Status Indication: An LED indicator on the transmitter provides real-time feedback on the battery status, alerting you when the batteries need to be replaced or recharged.
• Compatibility: This system is fully compatible with TAMIYA multi-function control (MFC) and digital twin motor differential (DMD) units, making it ideal for advanced model setups.

6. Maintenance

• Keep the transmitter and receiver clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Remove batteries from the transmitter if it will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
• Regularly check all cables and connectors for signs of wear or damage.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Power/LED Not Lighting Up:
  • Check if batteries are inserted correctly with the right polarity.
  • Ensure batteries are fully charged or replace them with new ones.
  • Verify the power switch is in the "ON" position.
• Loss of Control/Interference:
  • Ensure the transmitter and receiver are properly bound. Re-bind if necessary.
  • Check for strong interference sources in the operating area (e.g., other 2.4 GHz devices, large metal objects).
  • Verify the receiver's power supply is stable.
• Incorrect Servo Movement:
  • Use the servo reverse function for channels 1-4 to correct the direction.
  • Check servo connections to the receiver.
• Controls Not Centering Properly:
  • Adjust the trimming function for channels 1-4 using the sliders.
  • Ensure mechanical linkages are not binding or damaged.
