2. Setup

2.1. Battery Installation

The transmitter requires 4 AA batteries (not included). Open the battery compartment cover on the underside of the transmitter and insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the cover securely.

2.2. Receiver Connections

Connect your servo, Electronic Speed Controller (ESC), and motor to the appropriate channels on the receiver. Refer to the receiver's port labels for correct connections.

2.3. Binding Procedure

To establish communication between the transmitter and receiver (binding), follow these steps:

  1. Ensure the transmitter is powered OFF.
  2. Connect the receiver to power (e.g., via ESC). The receiver's LED will typically blink, indicating it's in binding mode.
  3. Press and hold the bind button on the receiver.
  4. While holding the bind button, power ON the transmitter.
  5. Release the bind button on the receiver once the LED on the receiver turns solid green, indicating successful binding.
  6. Test the controls to ensure proper function.

Important: Always power on the transmitter first, then the receiver. Power off the receiver first, then the transmitter. This sequence helps prevent unintended control inputs.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1. Mixed Control Mode

The transmitter supports mixed control for channels 1-2 and 3-4. This allows for advanced control of dual-motor setups or other complex configurations. For example, in a mixed mode for channels 1 and 2, the trigger controls forward/backward movement, while channel 1's directional wheel adjusts the speed of two motors for differential steering.

Diagram illustrating mixed control mode for two ESC signal lines connected to Channel 1 and Channel 2 of the receiver, showing how the trigger and directional wheel control motor rotation and differential steering.

3.2. CH3 & CH4 Mixed Control

Channels 3 and 4 can be used for jog signals. Pressing the respective button activates the channel output, and releasing it returns to a neutral signal. This is useful for controlling servos, winches, tank barrels, turrets, and other accessories. The default factory setting for travel and reverse direction in CH3/CH4 mixed mode is 50% range.

3.3. Gyroscope Function

The receiver's gyroscope function helps stabilize steering. To activate or adjust the gyroscope:

  • Switching Modes: Fast press the binding button on the receiver 3 times to toggle between gyro mode and normal mode.
  • Adjusting Direction: Fast press the binding button 2 times to adjust the gyroscope direction.
  • Sensitivity Adjustment: Adjust gyroscope sensitivity using the knob on Channel 5 of the transmitter.
  • Indicator: The green indicator light is always on in normal mode, while the yellow indicator is always on in gyro mode.

3.4. Low-Voltage Alarm Indicator

The button at the top of the RC remote will flash to indicate low voltage. This visual cue helps you monitor battery levels and prevent unexpected power loss during operation.

3.5. Throttle Speed Limit Adjustment

Utilize the unique throttle speed limit adjustment function to set a maximum speed for your RC model. This is particularly useful for beginners to safely learn control without excessive speed.

4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your DUMBORC X6PM-350 system, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Regularly wipe the transmitter and receiver with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • Storage: Store the system in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries from the transmitter if storing for extended periods.
  • Battery Care: Always use fresh AA batteries for the transmitter. If the low-voltage alarm activates, replace the batteries promptly.
  • Avoid Impact: Protect the transmitter and receiver from drops and impacts, which can damage internal components.

5. Troubleshooting

  • No Response from Model:
    • Ensure both transmitter and receiver are powered on.
    • Verify successful binding (receiver LED solid green). If not, re-perform the binding procedure.
    • Check battery levels in the transmitter.
    • Inspect all connections between the receiver, ESC, servo, and motor.
  • Gyroscope Not Functioning:
    • Ensure the gyroscope mode is activated (receiver LED yellow). Fast press the bind button 3 times to toggle.
    • Check the gyroscope sensitivity knob on Channel 5.
  • Low Voltage Alarm:
    • The transmitter's top button flashing indicates low battery. Replace the 4 AA batteries immediately.
