Function

Binding process

With 4 x AA batteries installed inside the transmitter [TR], hold the [Enter Button] switch on. The four [LED] lights on the front panel will light solid red and you will hear a buzzing sound [B-B-B...]. It is now in the binding status. Next power on the model and receiver [RX]. The [RX] [LED] green light will flash slowly. Now move the [RX] close to the [TR] and press the white bind button on the [RX] until the [LED] green light flashes quickly several times and then settles to a slow flash.

This now confirms that binding has been successful. Turn off the [TR], then turn back on again. The [RX] [LED] green light will now be solid and the set-up complete.

Caution

Make sure the [RX] and [TX] are within one metre of one another. Despite being within effective distance, if you find the [RX] [LED] green light flashes for no reason, then the [RX] may be starting anti-interference and automatically entering the 'S'F' mode. If this happens, you only need to provide the [RX] a control signal, such as moving the [TR] throttle [TH] or steering [ST] sticks and the [RX] will be connected again.

Servo Direction

Press the "EXT" or "ENT" button for 2 seconds and the buzzer will sound "B". The servo direction for the throttle [TH] or steering [ST] has now been reversed.

Fail Safe Setup (F/S)

This function is to protect your model when the signal becomes weak or is lost. Failsafe will automatically put the throttle [TH] in a neutral position. The [F/S] is set inside the receiver.

With electric powered models the [F/S] is set in the [RX], no need to set. For nitro powered models, pull the [TH] stick back to the brake position, keeping the [RX] white [F/S] button pressed until the green flashing [LED] goes solid. Release the white button and the [F/S] function will be set successfully. If you have to re-bind the [RX] to the [TX], then the nitro model [F/S] will need to be reset.

3rd and 4th Channel Option

These are ideal for using extra functions on your model such as a servo operated 2-speed transmission, winch or [LED] lighting. The 4th channel has a three-step toggle switch for potentially cycling through a plug-in option feature.

Important Notice

Please do not forcefully move the sticks in the direction of the red indicators. The radio is a converted flight radio and for the purpose of use with surface models only. The sticks are fixed into the position and the internals can be damaged if the sticks are forced in the wrong direction, voiding any warranty.
