• Do not use this product when you are tired, uncomfortable, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Doing so may cause serious injury to yourself or others.

• The 2.4GHz radio band is limited to line of sight. Always keep your model in sight as a large can block the RF signal and lead to loss of control.

• Never grip the transmitter antenna during operation. It significantly degrades signal quality and strength and may cause loss of control.

• Do not touch any part of the model that may generate heat during operation, or immediately after use. The engine, motor or speed control, may be very hot and can cause serious burns.

Basic Operations

Power on
Follow the steps below to turn on the transmitter:

1. Check to make sure that the batteries are fully charged and installed correctly.
2. Switch the Power Switch to ON position, at the time, the transmitter LED is solid on in green.

Binding

Follow the steps below to bind with the receiver:

1. Press and hold the BIIND button while turning on the transmitter,the transmitter LED will flash fast.
2. Put the receiver into binding mode by powering on the receiver, the receiver LED flash qucikly.
3. The binding process is finished when the transmitter LED stops flashing and is solid on.
4. Check to make sure the transmitter and receiver are working correctly, if there are any issues or unexpected operation arise, follow the steps above to bind again.

Note: If the transmitter disconnects with the receiver, the transmitter LED will go into threeflash-one-off state.

Trims
The ST+ and ST- buttons are for increasing/decreasing the trim value of the CH1, and TH+ and TH- buttons are for increasing/decreasing the trim value of the CH2. The buzzer will prompt with tone 1 short beep when the trim is successful. One beep once for a press. when press for a while, the buzzer will prompt with quick short beep. The buzzer will prompt with 2 short beeps when the trim is over the mid-point. When the trim is at the end, the buzzer will prompt with long beep.

Channel reverse

1. When the steering wheel is in the non-centering state, the channel 1 is reversed by pressing the REV button, and switch once when the button is pressed.
2. When the throttle trigger is in the non-centering state and the steering wheel is in the centering state, the channel 2 is reversed by pressing the REV button, and switch once when the button is pressed.

Note: When the channel reverse takes affect by pressing the REV button, the buzzer will prompt with 1 beep, and the beeps for CH1 and CH2 are different.

D/R adjustment
CH1 D/R can be adjusted by ST+/- button. The adjustment range is 0~120%, the step is 5%, and the default value is 100%.
CH2 D/R can be adjusted by TH+/- button. The adjustment range is 0~120%, the step is 5%, and the default value is 100%.

Note: When D/R adjustments take affect, the buzzer will promt with a short beep.When it is at the end, the buzzer will prompt with long beep.

Failsafe

When the transmitter is turned on, keep the channel output at the desired value, then press and hold the BIND button for 3S, after the buzzer prompts with long beep on tone 1, the failsafe is set successful.
The default setting of the failsafe is the last output value.
When the transmitter rebinds, the failsafe is reset to default setting

Stick Calibration

Follow the steps below to calibrate the transmitter.

1. Turn the Steering Wheel to the Max endpoint in a clockwise direction and push the trigger forward to its maximum endpoint while powering on the transmitter, then the transmitter enters stick calibration mode.
2. Turn the Steering Wheel or push the trigger to the Max or Min endpoint, then return to its neutral point.
3. After the calibration is finished, press the BIND button to exit the calibration mode. If the calibration is failed, then the setting can not be saved by pressing the BIND button.

Data resetting

Follow the steps below to reset the data.

1. Press and hold the BIND button and the REV button while powering on the transmitter, the data will be reset.
2. When the operation is successful, the buzzer will prompt with long beep.

Idle alarm and Sleep mode

When the transmitter is not operated over 10 minutes, it will go into idle alarm state. In idle alarm state, the transmitter will exit idle alarm mode when any control is operated.

When the transmitter is in idle alarm state over 2 minutes,the transmitter will go into sleep mode. In sleep mode, the LED is in gradual light state.
Repower on the transmitter to exit the sleep mode.

Note: In Sleep mode, the buzzer is off, as well as the RF. The transmitter takes no response when any control is operating.

Low voltage alarm

When the transmitter voltage is lower than 4.2V, it will enter low voltage alarm mode. The transmitter LED will be in slow flashing state for prompt.
Note: When the transmitter voltage is lower than 3.5V, the RF is turned off.

Reminder
When the bound receiver is turned off or the receiver disconnects for 2S, the transmitterwill in reminder mode, and prompt this mode by the LED which is in flash three-one-off state.

Note: When the transmitter has received the information returned by the receiver, it will exit reminder mode.
