Setup

1. Battery Installation (Transmitter)

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the MX-6 transmitter.
2. Slide the cover open.
3. Insert four (4) AA dry cell batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

2. Binding the Transmitter and Receiver

The MX-6 utilizes the FH-E communication system. The transmitter and receiver must be bound to each other for communication.

1. Ensure the receiver is connected to a power source (e.g., ESC with BEC or separate receiver battery).
2. Press and hold the bind button on the receiver.
3. While holding the bind button, power on the receiver. The receiver's LED will flash, indicating it is in binding mode.
4. Power on the MX-6 transmitter.
5. The LED on the receiver will become solid once the binding process is successful. Release the bind button.
6. Turn off both the transmitter and receiver, then power them on again to confirm the binding is saved.

3. Receiver Connection

Connect the receiver to your vehicle's electronic speed controller (ESC) and steering servo. Refer to your vehicle's instruction manual for specific port assignments. Typically:

• Channel 1: Steering Servo
• Channel 2: Electronic Speed Controller (Throttle)
• Channel 3: Auxiliary Function (if applicable)

Operating Instructions

Basic Controls

• Steering: Rotate the steering wheel left or right to control the vehicle's direction.
• Throttle: Pull the trigger towards you for forward movement. Push the trigger away from you for braking or reverse.

Advanced Functions

The MX-6 transmitter offers several adjustable functions via its multi-function display. Use the navigation buttons to access and modify these settings.

• Anti-Lock (ABS) Braking: Adjust the braking pulse to prevent wheel lock-up during hard braking, improving control.
• Exponential: Modify the sensitivity of the steering and throttle response around the center point, allowing for smoother or more aggressive control.
• End Point Adjustment (EPA): Set the maximum travel limits for your steering and throttle servos to prevent over-travel and potential damage.
• Servo Reversing: Change the direction of a servo's movement if it operates in the opposite direction to your input.
• Steering Dual Rate: Adjust the maximum steering angle, allowing you to quickly switch between different steering sensitivities.
• Servo Sub-Trim: Fine-tune the neutral position of your servos to ensure the vehicle tracks straight and the throttle is at rest when the controls are centered.
• Battery Voltage Monitor: Displays the current voltage of the transmitter's batteries, indicating when replacement is needed.
• 10 Model Memory: Store and recall settings for up to 10 different remote-controlled vehicles, eliminating the need to reconfigure settings each time you switch models.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Wipe the transmitter and receiver with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using solvents, alcohol, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic components and electronics.

Storage

Store the radio system in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries from the transmitter to prevent leakage.

Battery Care

Replace batteries when the transmitter's voltage monitor indicates low power. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries, as this can lead to improper operation or battery leakage.

Troubleshooting

• No Power to Transmitter: Check battery installation and ensure batteries are fresh.
• No Response from Vehicle: Verify that the transmitter and receiver are properly bound. Check all receiver connections to the ESC and servos. Ensure the vehicle's battery is charged and connected.
• Erratic Control or Loss of Signal: Check for potential sources of interference in the operating area. Ensure the receiver antenna is properly positioned and not damaged. Re-bind the system if necessary.
• Servos Not Moving Correctly: Check servo reversing, sub-trim, and end point adjustment settings. Ensure servo connections are secure.
