Change Menu Procedure
By registering the function contents into CUSTOM1 or CUSTOM2, the function menu displayed becomes a very
easily manageable system to navigate.
Functions can be added/deleted and placed in the order that you would like for quick and easy access.
For instance, CUSTOM1 can have a lot of the functions that you would use for practice and CUSTOM2 would have
only the functions that you would use for a race.
Switching the menu setting can easily be made with three actions.
If the MASTER menu is used, all functions are displayed.
Unregistered item functions are still effective. (Just not displayed.)
Whatever the display screen is on, it will return to the initial screen if you keep pressing the 'BACK' key.

D.S.C. (Direct Servo Control)
This transmitter has the D.S.C function built inside to allow you to check and verify settings of your
vehicle without emitting a radio wave. In order to use this function, the D.S.C cable (sold separately) is
necessary.
Be sure to remove the receiver crystal. (Malfunction will occur.)
Make sure not to turn on the transmitter when connected.
The radio waves will be emitted from the transmitter as soon as you remove the D.S.C. jack if the
transmitter is turned on.
Be sure that the transmitter is OFF when using the D.S.C.

Using the D.S.C.
D.S.C. CableD.S.C. Cable
The power supply of the transmitter automatically
turns on once the D.S.C. is inserted.
However, since the power is not supplied to the RF
module of the transmitter, radio waves will not be emitted from
the transmitter.
Once you are nished using the D.S.C., turn off the receiver side rst and then the D.S.C. jack should
be removed.
Removing the transmitter side rst will result in the servo moving rapidly and possibly damaging it.
D.S.C. compatible receivers: KR-297FZ (discontinued) / KR-301F / KR-302F
The other side of the D.S.C. cable is connected to the receiver. (The crystal of the receiver should be
removed prior to connecting the cable.)
Be sure to connect this cable to the battery channel of the receiver.
The receiver can now be used.
Please note the operation mode when using a receiver other then the supplied receiver that came with this
unit. Please review P71 concerning the operation mode.
Only genuine KO PROPO products will work with this feature.
Turn off the power switch of the transmitter and
connect the D.S.C. cable to the D.S.C. terminal.
Please insert correctly. The power supply of the
transmitter becomes unstable if there is a loose connection
and a memory error might occur.
For Engine Cars
You will need to connect a twin connector or "Y" type of harness to
connect the power supply and the D.S.C. cable to the battery channel.
(The servos will not work if the power is not connected.)
For Electric Cars
The servo will not operate if the power supply is not connected to the
ESC.
Please remove the motor wires while in operation to prevent the
possibility of the car from moving suddenly.
