Read these instructions carefully before use paying particular atten-
tion to the safety notes. If this is your first venture into radio cont-
rolled modelling we strongly recommend that you seek the help of
an experienced modeller before you begin.
This Radio control system has been exclusively designed for use
with models designed to be remotely controlled and as such may
only be legally operated as such. The company JAMARA accept no
responsibility whatsoever if his product is used in any other way.
Radio Controlled models, in particular aircraft, are not toys and a
such and should only be operated by children or youths if closely
supervised by a responsible adult. Building and operating such mo-
dels requires a degree of skill, understanding and technical know-
how as well as a responsible attitude. Faults in the construction or
irresponsible behaviour could lead to serious damage or injury.
As neither the manufacturer or retailer has any influence over the
correct use of modelling products we wish to emphasise these safe-
ty instructions and will in no way be held responsible for the misuse
of our products. Please be aware that the receiver system can also
create a danger if operated when the transmitter is not switched
on.
Always operate the CCX Pro 2,4 GHz with extreme caution and
follow the instructions listed here. Always switch the transmitter on
before the receiver and switch off in the opposite order. Only use
our original receivers as any other brand of 2.4 GHz receivers will
not bond to our transmitters.
Protect the system from dust, dirt and moisture. Never expose the
system to extreme heat, cold or vibration. The system should only
be operated between - 10 and + 400C. Use a good quality char-
ger selected from our range and follow the battery manufacturers
instructions.
Avoid exposing the system to impact or vibration and inspect all of
the components regularly for damage to the casing, plugs, sockets
and cables. If any component gets damaged or is exposed to water
do not use it even if it has been dried out! Any such component
should be replaced or returned to our service department.
As the company JAMARA e.K. has no influence over the use, main-
tenance or conditions under which our products will operate, we
accept no responsibility for any damage caused be it of a physical,
financial or theoretical nature. JAMARA e.K. will accept no claim
against it which results directly or indirectly from the operation or
use of its products..
Furthermore, the following should be strictly adhered to:
• The receiver battery must be charged before every ying
session.
• Before Switching on the system ensure that throttle stick is in
the off position.
• Check that the transmitter and receiver are compatible and
bonded to one another.
• Always switch the transmitter on rst and then the receiver.
• Always switch the receiver off rst and then the transmitter .
• Complete a full range and function test before every take-off.
• When ying, do not point the transmitter antenna directly at
the model as in this configuration the signal is at it‘s weakest.
Try to keep the antenna at right angles to the model.
• Never over-y people and do not allow your model to endanger
people or animals.
• Do not y near to over-head cables, buildings or airelds.
• The system must not be operated in rain, or thunder storms.
• If you do not intend to use the transmitter for a long period,
remove the batteries.
• Dispose of batteries and electronic waste correctly. These item
should not be placed in the household rubbish in most
countries.
The system may not be altered in any way, doing so will void the
guarantee.
Your Statutory Rights apply, any claim made against us
will be based solely on the retail price of the product, and
limited to the model only. This will not apply if we are proved
to be legally responsible or when gross negligence can be
proved.

Our Radio Control System CCX Pro 2,4 GHz comes complete with
3 channel transmitter, matching 3 channel receiver and these ins-
tructions.
Recommended Accessories
In order to operate a Radio Controlled model you will require servos
which are suitable for the model, a receiver battery and a switch
cable.
For an electric model you will also require an Electronic Speed Cont-
roller which will in most cases also provide power to the receiver.
To power the transmitter you will need 8 X Mignon (AA) sized dry
or rechargeable batteries. If you choose to use rechargeable batte-
ries you will also require a suitable charger.
You should only use high-quality accessories with this system such
as those found in our product catalogue or under:
www.jamara.com

General Description
Our CCX Pro 2,4 GHz system works on the ISM Band. This ‚new‘
Band offers several advantages of which probably the most useful
is that no crystals are required because the transmitter and receiver
have to be bonded meaning that your model cannot be ‚shot down‘
by other users on your channel. Apart from that this is a much clea-
ner and interference free signal anyway. This does however mean
that you have to bond all of your receivers to your transmitter.
The 2 channel CCX Transmitter is equipped with precision controls
for both the steering and the throttle function. To operate the
transmitter 8 Mignon (AA) dry or rechargeable cells of the same
type must be fi tted which must have suffi cient charge in them.
This is vital to ensure that the system functions at the maximum
power output.. Monitor the ’Voltage Display’ closely and replace or
recharge the cells before they are fully discharged.
