Carson RC Akuma Transmitter: Overview and Operation

Transmitter Explanation

This section details the functions and controls of the remote control transmitter.

Control Functions

• TH/EPA (Throttle/End Point Adjustment): Used to set the maximum speed limit, which is beneficial for beginner drivers.
• ST/REV (Steering/Reverse): Controls the steering direction and allows for reverse steering functionality.
• BR/EPA (Brake/End Point Adjustment): Allows adjustment of the brake intensity.
• ON/OFF Button: The primary button to power the transmitter on and off.
• TH/TRIM (Throttle Trim): This adjustment fine-tunes the neutral position of the throttle servo/speed controller for forward/reverse movement.
• ST/TRIM (Steering Trim): Used to adjust the steering trim to ensure the front wheels are centered if they are not straight when the steering wheel is in the neutral position.
• REV Switch (TH REV + ST REV): These switches are used to reverse the direction of the servos for throttle (TH) and steering (ST).
• ST/DR (Dual Rate): Dual Rate increases or decreases the servo's range of motion in proportion to the steering wheel's input, affecting the overall steering sensitivity.

Connecting Vehicle and Transmitter

The vehicle and transmitter are pre-connected from the factory. This procedure is only necessary if you are replacing the transmitter or receiver.

Binding Procedure

1. Turn on the vehicle first.
2. Press and hold the BIND button on the transmitter, then turn on the transmitter. Release the BIND button to initiate the binding process.
3. The binding process is complete when the LED on the transmitter glows a solid green.

Inserting Transmitter Batteries

Battery Installation

1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the underside of the transmitter.
2. Insert fully charged rechargeable batteries or new AA/Mignon size batteries. Ensure correct polarity is observed.
3. Close the battery compartment with the cover. The cover must click securely into place; verify its exact fit.

Diagram Description: An illustration shows the underside of the transmitter with the battery compartment open, revealing four AA battery slots. Arrows indicate the correct positive (+) and negative (-) orientation for battery insertion.

Controlling the Model

Basic Operation

• Position the model so that its wheels are suspended in the air, allowing them to turn freely.
• Turn the steering wheel fully to the right and then to the left. The model's wheels should follow the steering input accurately.
• To regulate the driving speed, operate the throttle/brake lever: move it backward for forward movement and acceleration, or forward for braking and reverse movement.

Diagram Description: An illustration shows the transmitter's steering wheel and throttle/brake lever. The steering wheel is labeled 'Links' (Left) and 'Rechts' (Right). The throttle lever is depicted in its neutral position, and in forward (Vorwärtsfahrt/Gas geben - Forward/Accelerate) and backward (Bremsen/Rückwärtsfahrt - Brake/Reverse) positions.
