rechargeable items before you charge them.
Do not mix different types of batteries.
Be careful of the sharp edges inside the battery box.
Battery disposal
Do not dispose the battery with other general garbage.
Disposal should be in accordance with your Country's legislation.
Isolate battery terminals with insulating tape before disposal.
Rechargeable batteries must be recycled.
Please note that short-circuiting batteries can cause fire
or electric shock.
2.4GHz CHARACTERISTICS
This system allows the transmitter and receiver to search for available bands empty band and lock
on to one of 76 available on the 2.4GHz frequency. This eliminates the traditional method of using
crystals.
Each transmitter hold its own I.D. Receivers never operate with other transmitters. It also is
not necessary to switch on TX and then RX as with traditional radio system.
The control signal is high speed digital and it is recognized by RX CPU. In a fully charged state
function.
the car should be in full control at all times. You can also select hold function or fail safe
In case of battery leakage Avoid eye contact, which may cause blindness. Rinse
eyes immediately with water and consult your doctor.

Transmitter
When the Transmitter is switched on it automatically
starts to search for free a band.
Once it is located it locks to it during this search.
The LED will initially blink and then
change to a constant light once it has
completed this procedure and secured a band.
Attention:
When there are many 2.4GHz wave devices
around, the search time may be longer.
Receiver
When the receiver is switched on, it will also look for the transmitter which has the same ID. When it
finds the same ID, the LED will flash and when the band is fixed, the LED changes to a constant
light. ( Just like the Transmitter )
Attention:
When there are other 2.4GHz wave devices around, the scanning time may take longer.
If the receiver cannot locate the transmitter's signal or suffers from interference, the steering servo
will not function.
When the fail-safe function is off, the signal to the throttle channel is cut off.
This means that the speed controller throttle function or alternatively the throttle servo will not operat
e
Both functions will revert to normal operation when the receiver obtains the correct signal.
If the receiver cannot obtain the signal from the transmitter after one second, the receiver will
automatically scan the bands to find the transmitter signal.

Attention:
Set up should be conducted in an area free from interference by other 2.4GHz transmitters.
Push the set up button on the front
of the transmitter, then switch the
transmitter on. Transmitter will output
the electrical wave under this setting
mode. Output power will be given weakly
to avoid interference to others.
In this case, LED will flash slowly.
Push the set up button on the receiver
and then switch receiver on. Release
the set up button. The receiver
will enter set up mode and transmitter ID
is registered to the receiver.
You can set the failsafe function ON or OFF by repeatedly pushing and releasing the
set up button on the receiver.
LED is ON : Fail-safe function ON
LED is OFF : Fail-safe function OFF
To set the position of the servo in failsafe mode, first press the receiver button
so that the LED is off. Move the trigger to the desired failsafe position.
Push the receiver set up button so that the LED is on and this position will be memorized
in the receiver. If the TX trigger is not moved, the position of the trigger will be memorised
in neutral.
Attention:
After the ID and fail safe are set, switch the transmitter and receiver off and restart both.
Check that all functions are working correctly before operating the model.
Attention:
When adjusting failsafe function for nitro models, set failsafe function to apply brakes
in a setting that will allow the model to stop in a safe fashion.
Attention:
If another 2.4GHz radio is being set up nearby, your TX will not enter set up mode.
Checking Fail Safe Function ON/OFF
Switch the transmitter off and leave the receiver on, the receiver start to search and LED will
start to flash. If you activated the fail-safe function and it is ON, the servo will return to the position
saved in memory and if failsafe function is OFF, the servo will be in neutral position.

Caution when installing the receiver
Do not install the receiver in a low position of a large scale model. The antenna wire must
protrude sufficiently to receive a clear signal. Furthermore, if the receiver is surrounded by
metal components (i.e. a roll cage) the signal may be subject to interference. In these
instances the receiver should be repositioned at the front or on the upper sections of the model.
To avoid direct vibration during driving, receiver should be fixed in a place which will not touch other
parts using thick double sided tape. When installing in a car with an engine, the receiver should
be protected with sponge to prevent shock or vibration which chould result in malfunction.
The receiver and antenna should not be close to motor, speed controller, battery or
silicon cord, as this can cause interference due to electrical noise.
Operate each servo and check that unnecessary throw is not exerted on the push rod,
which can cause servo damage or shorten battery life.
Servo should be fixed with rubber grommets in a place which will not touch with other parts
to avoid direct vibration to the servo, otherwise servo may be damaged by shock or vibration.
When used in an engined car, be careful that fuel or exhaust gases do not come into
contact with the receiver.
Caution receiver antenna instrallation
Never cut, lengthen or bind the antenna wire as the
wavelength for 2.4GHz is short and it is very sensitive to
the length of antenna wire.
Keep the antenna wire away from metal or carbon material.
In case the antenna is installed outside, it should be
as close to the receiver as possible. If the antenna wire
from receiver to holder is longer, their sensitivity becomes
less.
Do not put the antenna wire directly on the metal or carbon.
Do not put the antenna wire near electric conductors such
as metal or carbon it causes less sensibility due to
interference.
Especially, such as right illustration, antenna wire should
be installed more than 30mm away from the electric
conductor.
Also note that the middle part of the antenna wire should
not be close to the metal or carbon.

IMPORTANT Electrical characteristics for 2.4GHz frequency
2.4GHz uses a very high frequency, the product will not be effected by motor noise.
However, the electrical signal characteristics are very different to lower frequencies.
The presence of metal parts or carbon between TX antenna and RX antenna, can weaken
the signal and cause interference. If RX antenna is covered by metal or carbon,
please change the position of the installation.
When racing, never switch on the TX in an area other than the drivers stand, to prevent
interference to other drivers.
2.4GHz signals are easily distorted by metal parts.
If the transmitter operation become slow at the track, please move
your driving position. Please also check that the receiver is correctly installed.
Any metal obstacle between driver and car may result in a loss of signal i.e. a metal crash
barrier on a racing circuit.
If you experience interference, stop the car, switch off the TX and then switch on again.
The transmitter will scan for a new band, which may improve the reception and reduce interference.
More than 3.5V is necessary to operate the receiver correctly.
When running an electric car, if low voltage occurs the receiver may reset itself.
If you are using 4 or 5 cell power battery for driving, installing an additional power source for
the receiver is highly recommended.
