Conection of Receiver
With the nature of radio controlled models, misoperation will result in danger. In order to avoid these circumstances
and to use this unit safely, please read the contents thoroughly.
●Prevent metal parts in the model ( Car, or Boat ) from touching caused by vibration.
●Do not cut or bundle the aerial wire with other cords.
It may result in decreasing the sensitivity of a receiver and may result in the model
running out of control.
●Be careful not to reverse the polarity of the transmitter and the receiver. Reverse polarity
could damage the unit.
●Be sure to connect all equipments correctly.
If connections are loose, the model may run out of control.
The vibration may damage the servo and the model may run out of control
●Be sure to install a receiver with thicker double sided tapes.
A strong shock or vibration may result in the model running out of control.
●When operating each servo, check that there is no unnecessary force on the push rod.
It may damage the servo or increase the consumption of batteries.
●Be sure to use grommets and to prevent the servo from touching any metal or carbon
plates directly.
The vibration may damage the servo and the model may run out of control.
●Be sure to use genuine KO Propo products e.g. transmitter, receiver, ESC and other
optional parts.
We cannot assume any responsibility for the use of other companies’ products with this
unit.
●Do not use this unit in thunderstorms.
There is a possibility of lightning striking the antenna.
●Do not use the transmitter in the rain or in a location where water might get on it. The unit
may become wet, which causes loss of control.
●Do not run the model in the following places.
1,Near to other radio control car circuits. (within 3km)
2,Near to people or on the road.
3,The surface of the water where there are actual sized boats.
4,Near to electric wires and communication facilities.
In the case of the model running out of control, it will be very dengerous.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
●Do not allow any plastic parts to come in contact with fuel and exhaust.
Doing so causes risk of damage.
●Be sure to confirm that the model memory is matched to the models currently running.
Not doing so may cause the model to run out of control.
●When you make functional changes, be sure to stop the engine or disconnect the motor
lead wire.
●Do not touch the engine, motor, ESC where heat is generated.
May result in burning.
●Always turn on the switch on the transmitter first, followed by the receiver. When turning
off the switch, always turn off the receiver first, followed by the transmitter.
If you don’t follow the correct order, the receiver may get interference.
●Altering the transmission module is inhibited by law and is subjected to penal code
violations. Resolution remodelling of all products may result in the cause of a short and
other accidents. In addition, if this product is altered we will refuse repair service.
●Please do not use this product inside an airplane, hospital, near any automatic control
equipment, medical electrical machinery and apparatus such as fire alarms.
In addition with respect to the law, if this product effects other radio equipment and
electronic equipment, use must be discontinued at once.
●In the case of an electric-powered car, be sure to disconnect the nicad battery afterwards.
It may cause fire or the model to run out of control in case of the switch being left on.
●When storing the transmitter, batteries, and models, be sure to keep them out of the
reach of children.
It may result in damage and/or bodily injury from the chemicals.
●Be sure to disconnect the battery from the transmitter when not in use for a long time.
It may damage the transmitter if you leave the battery in the transmitter for a long time.
●Do not store the transmitter in the following places.
1,Extremely hot or cold places (+40, -10,).
2,Direct sunshine.
3,Places with high humidity.
4,Dusty places.
If you store the unit under these circumstances, it may result in misoperation or damage
to the unit.

[Usage]
Each direction doesn't turn on constancy. So when it becomes tight, do
not turn the tension any more. The tension adjustment can be adjusted
by the hole above the ET4 button (figure right) with a hex-head wrench of
1.5mm.
The tension strengthens when turning in the clockwise direction. It
weakens when turning in the opposite direction.
Strength of the spring of the steering wheel can be adjusted.

[Coution!]
Because the DSC function is installed in this unit, the setting can be confirmed without putting out the electric wave. A D.S.C.
cable (optional) is necessary to use this function.
Receivers that will work with this function should be a KO Propo genuine product which is compatible with DSC.
The buzzer sound can be clearly confirmed by using the earphone jack. Commercially available Φ3.5earphone for radios can
be used. (MONO type can be used. With STEREO type, only one side will be heard.)
This is useful when you cannot hear the buzzer sound due to other outside noises. The Buzzer sound can be heard from the
transmitter even when the earphone jack is connected.
The 10 model memory in the main unit can have an additional 40 model
memory.
The multi access port offers a new method of installing, exchanging and the editing of new settings information.Obtaining the
Data Pack and the communications adaptor can be used for the multi access port.
[Data Pack (optional)]
The two way communication is possible by connecting the PC to your transmitter with the optional interface kit. By
using the software from the interface kit, settings of the transmitter can be edited in PC and the data can be saved
regardless of the number of model memory.

PREPARATION FOR USING THIS UNIT
Please exchange modules to change frequency band
(2.4GHz,27MHz,40MHz).
Please read the handling manual of the module attachment well
when you use it.
Remove the RF module and replace them as required.
When removing the RF module, push the right and left claws.
Please remove the rubber cap of the main body antenna, install,
and use the antenna (optional) when you use 27MHz and 40MHz.
Turn off the power of this unit when Changing the RF Module
and Crystals
Carbon chassis
Assume that all areas where large currents are flowing
are generating noise! Locate antenna cables and
receiver as far away from the motor, ESC, silicone cords
as possible. (Materials such as metal or carbon chassis
also conduct noise)
R/C model is controlled by radio wave.
Therefore,anti-noise measures are the most important
factor. Take measures to ensure optimum performance
of your R/C model and driving technique.

When fixing the receiver to the chassis or on the mechanism
deck, use more than 2 layers of doublesided tape to avoid
direct contact with chassis. Chassis and mechanism deck
(especially carbon material) can also conduct noise. Making
space between receiver with them is recommend to ensure
protection against noise.
Raise antenna cable vertically and set as high as possible. Pass cable into antenna pipe to protect from damage. Be sure
that the cable projects a bit from antenna pipe. Installing antenna holder far away from receiver may deteriorate radio
sensitivity. Locate antenna holder as near to the receiver as possible. Make sure that the antenna cable does not come in
direct contact with chassis, mechanism plate or other noise sources. Make sure to use plastic antenna pipe and mount. Do
not use metal antenna mount as it easily conducts noise and result in trouble.
Engine vibration may damage the servo. Make sure to attach
grommet (receiver holder) to reduce vibration. Do not attach
directly to chassis or mechanism plate using double-sided tape.
The installation position should be as far as possible from heat
from engine or exhaust.
