Getting to Know Your React
Power Switch
This switch turns the React on and off. It is
recessed to prevent accidental switching during
travel or use.
Display Screen
Driving Screen
This is the screen you’ll be seeing 95%
of the time while using the React. It
displays radio and battery status,
telemetry data that you select and your
servo information.
Menu Screen
This screen is the gateway to the
React’s menu system, which is
described in detail later. You can
always go back to the driving screen by
just pressing the menu key.

Charging and Installing Batteries
The React is powered by a 4 cell battery pack(included).
Also inside the battery compartment is the 4 wire Receiver Programming Cable. This cable can be
plugged into the receiver’s TACH pins in order to upgrade the software on the receiver. The RC
Desktop will instruct you when a software upgrade is available.
Installing the Batteries
1. Plug the battery connector into the receptacle in the battery compartment. Refer to
photo for battery installation.
Warning!!!! Plugging the battery in backwards will damage the React!!!!!!!!
2. Place the battery holder in the battery compartment. Make sure the wires do not
pinch.
3. lide the battery compartment cover into place.
