Safety precautions
This radio control is not a toy. Therefore it is not suitable for children under the age of 8. Children under 14
should only operate the remote control system under supervision of an adult.
The radio controlled model is also not a toy. For this reason, you must observe the special safety instructions
of the model manufacturer when installing and using the recever unit.
If you are not familiar with RC models, please contact an experienced model pilot or a model construction
club.
Please check the functional safety of your model and the remote control unit before putting the device in
operation. When doing so, make sure there is no visible damage, such a defective plug connection or dama-
ged cables. All moveable parts of the model must run smoothly, but must not have any play in their bearings.
When the antenna is pressed in, the device should still work wthin a range of approx. 25>30 meters.
Do not expose the transmitter to direct sunlight or excessive heat for an extended period of time.
If the battery voltage become too low (alarm), you must immediately change the batteries or recharge the
NiCd batteries to avoid reduction of range control and lost control of the model.

Installing the batteries
Remove the battery cover by sliding it in the direction shown (1)
Remove the used batteries and load new AA size batteries. Pay very close attention to the polarity markings. (2)
Slide the battery cover back onto the case. (3)
Turn the power switch ON and check the battery voltage display on the LCD display.
LOW BATTERY ALARM
If the transmitter battery voltage drops below 8,5V an alarm will sound and LOW BT will displayed on the
LCD display. Stop immediately when the Low Battery alarm tone to avoid loss of control.

Charging the NiCd battery
Use only a special charger for digital proportionnal R/C sets.
Plug the transmitter cable of the special charger into the charging
jack on the side of the transmitter. Respect the polarity

Functions
DISPLAYED WHEN POWER SWITCH IS TURNED ON
Use this function to perform the adjustment of the servos and correct the max. steering angle left and right
:Select the EPA-ST function and use (+) and (-) buttons to adjust the value.
Press (+) and (-) buttons simultaneously ± 1sec. to reset to the default value.
EPA / END POINT ADJUSTMENT
SPD / STEERING SPEED adjustment
The current selected model number and the battery voltage are displayed.
EPA-ST L.F.U. = Steering Left
EPA-ST R.B.D. = Steering Right
EPA-TH L.F.U.= Throttle
EPA-TH R.B.D. = Brake
EPA-3C L.F.U. = Channel 3 - Up
EPA-3C R.B.D. = Channel 3 - Down
SPD-TN = TURN (Adjustment from 0 ~ 100%)
SPD-RN = RETURN TO NEUTRAL (Adjustment from 0 ~ 100%)
Make sure that the knuckle arm does touch during steering operation. If the servo is submitted
to great forces during operation, it may become damagad or overheat, resulting in an uncontrol-
lable model.
ATTENTION
Set the EPA at the point of
contact.
Understeering Spin Good
Steering speed not set Steering speed not set Steering speed set
This function limits the maximum speed of the steering servo. Quick movement of the steering wheel will
cause understeering, spin or loss of speed.
:Select SPD-TN function and use the (+) and (-) buttons to adjust.
Press (+) and (-) simultaneously for ± 1sec. to reset the default value.
Be sure that the
steering servo does
not “bind”!

Functions
EXP / EXP-ST / EXP-FW / EXP-BK • Steering & Throttle Exponential
This function is used to change the servo sensibility around the neutral point. The throttle servo can be ad-
justed to each side for individual throttle/brake exponential.
:Select the EXP-ST function and use the (+) and (-) buttons to adjust the value.
Press (+) and (-) simultaneously for ± 1sec. to reset the default value.
EXP-ST = EXP Steering rate (adjustment from -100% ~ 0 ~ +100%)
EXP-FW = EXP Throttle rate
EXP-BK = EXP Brake rate
ABS FUNCTION
When you brake your model while cornering, it can have a tendancy to understeer. The ABS function can
smooth or eliminate this effect.
When brakes are applied, the throttle servo will pulse, this will have the same effect as pumping the brakes
on a real car. The brake return amount, pumping cycle and delay can be adjusted.
:Select ABS-PT function and use (CH), (+) and (-) buttons to adjust the values.
Press (+) and (-) simultaneously for ± 1sec. to reset the default value.

ABS-CY = Cycle speed (Low value = Fast cycle)
ABS-DL = Delay value (0= ABS working without delay • 50= delay ±0,7s • 100= delay ± 1,4s
ABS-BK = Activation/Deactivation ABS
When you drive on a track with high grip, start with a 0% setting and increase the value gradually. When the
track is slippery, decrease the sensitivity in order to regain optimal control of the model.

Functions
ACC / TROTTLE ACCELERATION • Fast acceleration
IC motors have a response delay between the idle and engaging of the clutch bell. This function enables you
to have a faster response of the clutch bell.
Throttle and brake side are individually adjus-
table.
BMK / BRAKE MIXING
Use this function when your front and rear brakes need to be adjusted separately, as in 1/5th scale cars.
The mixing uses the 2nd channel to control the rear brake servo and the 3d channel to control the front
brake servo.
Some play is necessary but it slows down the reaction time of
the carburator.
The ACC function results in faster reaction time.

Règles de sécurité & Service après vente
Cette radio commande n’est pas un jouet, par conséquent elle n’est pas utilisable par des enfants âgés de
moins de 14 ans sans surveillance d’un adulte.
Le modèle radiocommandé piloté par cet émetteur n’est également pas un jouet, pour cette raison vous de-
vez observer les règles de sécurité et instructions du fabricant lorsque vous installez et utilisez ce matériel.
Si vous n’êtes pas familiarisé par l’utilisation de modèles radiocommandés, il est fortement conseillé de vous
faire assister par une personne expérimentée dans ce domaine.
Contrôlez toujours les fonctions sur votre émetteur ainsi que sur le modèle avant toute utilisation. Vous devez
être absolument certain que le modèle réponde convenablement aux commandes émises par votre émetteur.
Contrôlez également qu’aucune pièce n’est endommagée, cassée, fêlée, que toutes les pièces en mouve-
ment bougent librement.
Contrôlez la portée de l’émetteur, antenne non-déployée, le modèle doit parfaitement répondre en vous éloi-
gnant jusqu’à une distance de 25 à 30 mètres.
N’exposez pas l’émetteur directement aux rayons du soleil pendant une longue période ou à une tempéra-
ture excessive.
Si l’alimentation de l’émetteur devient trop faible à cause de piles ou accus déchargés, cela aura pour consé-
quence une diminution de la portée et une perte de contrôle du modèle. Dans ce cas arrêtez immédiatement
et remplacez ou rechargez les accus.
