Thanks to the logical and well thought out lay-out of the Programming Panel and the positioning of the switches and LEDs the CCX Pro 2,4 GHz transmitter can be quickly and simply programmed. All channels can be trimmed and the direction changed.

Furthermore the transmitter is equipped with a Dual Rate, a EXPO- and ABS- Function.

Connecting To The Receiver

Antenna
Mount the 2.4 GHz antenna vertically as shown in the diagram. Do not allow any metal object to come into contact with the antenna or to shield it as this will reduce the range.

Binding

As with all modern 2.4GHz R/C systems the receiver must be bound to the transmitter to ensure that the receiver will only react to signals from that transmitter.
If you wish to re-bind the receiver with the transmitter please proceed as follows:

• A. Ensure that the transmitter is fi tted with fresh or fully charged batteries and leave the transmitter off.
• B. Plug the binding plug (included) into the channel 3 socket on the receiver.
• C. Switch the receiver system on by connecting the battery. The receiver LED will begin to fl ash indicating that the receiver is in bonding mode.
• D. Press and hold down the binding button on the transmitter while switching it on.
• E. Watch the receiver LED and once it stops blinking the binding process is copmlete. This process may take up to 5 seconds.
• F. Release the binding button on the transmitter and disconnect the binding plug from the receiver. Set the receiver and transmitter.
• G. Install all of the components correctly and carefully check that everything is operating correctly.
• H. If the receiver fails to bond or does not function after bonding repeat the above procedure until a successful bonding is achieved.

• e. The setting is saved and you can bring back the throttle into neutral position.

Testing the settings

• a. Turn on the transmitter.
• b. Turn on the receiver.
• c. Turn off the transmitter.
• d. The receiver will now lose the signal and drives the servo or the speed control on the gas channel to the previously programmed position.
• e. If these steps work, you have set the FailSafe.

Switching On

1. Plug in all of the components.
2. Switch the transmitter on.
3. Connect the receiver battery to the receiver.
4. Check that the LEDs on both the transmitter and the receiver illuminate solidly.

By operating the relevant switch (6) on the programming panel the direction in which the steering moves can be reversed if required.
In addition, the transmitter is equipped with a Dual Rate function.

When this function is activated the wheels of the model will move less relative to the movement of the transmitters steering wheel around the middle position. This will allow the model to be steered with more precision however if this function is used the total throw will still be available for tight cornering when the steering wheel is moved to the end of it’s range.

Throttle Lever
This function is used to control the models speed both forwards and in reverse as shown in the illustration to the left. If the lever is pulled back towards the transmitter grip the model will accelerate forwards.
If the lever is pushed away from the transmitter grip the model will first brake and then accelerate in reverse.
This is providing that the model is fi tted with a Speed Controller which supports these functions. Sterzo Steering Controllo del gas Throttle Lever
