Follow the steps below to turn on the transmitter:

1. Check to make sure that that battery is fully charged and installed correctly.

2. Toggle the switch to the [ON] position. When active the R.LED will be lit.

3. Connect the receiver to power.

• For safety always power on the transmitter before the receiver.

The transmitter and receiver have already been bound at the factory.

2. The receiver will enter bind mode atomically when powered on.

e binding is successful the receiver’s LED will flash slowly and the transmitter’s LED will remain solid after being rebooted. Note: When binding, put the transmitter into bind mode first, then the receiver.

However if the receiver needs to be replaced or additional receivers bound follow these steps: Note • Operate with caution in order to avoid damage or injury. Note

• Make sure that the throttle is at its lowest position and the switches are set to their up position.

• applicable to the CR4S transmitter and the R4WP receiver. Different receivers have different bind procedures. For more information visit the ABSIMA website for manuals and other related information.

• Product information is updated regularly, please visit our website for more information.

3. Low battery alarm: When the battery is lower than 4.2v, the G.LED on the panel will flash slowly.

-7-4.4 Stick Calibration This function is used to set the neutral position for throttle and wheel. Every transmitter is calibrated before leaving the factory, however if recalibration is required, please follow these steps:

1. Turn and hold the wheel as far clockwise as it will turn, hold the throttle all the way forward,

then turn on the transmitter in calibration mode.

2. Calibrate wheel: Turn the wheel completely clockwise, then completely counterclockwise.

3. Trigger calibration: Pull the trigger back then for ward as far as it will go.

4. Once calibration is complete press the bind key to save and exit .

Follow the steps below to turn off the system:

1. Disconnect the receiver power.

2. Toggle the transmitter's power switch to the off position.

The R.LED and G.LED will flash twice. When calibration is completed the R.LED will be off. When calibration is completed the G.LED will be off. Make sure to disconnect the receiver power before turning off the transmitter. Failure to do so may lead to damage or serious injury.

-8-5.System Functions This section focuses on the functions and how to use them.

5.1 Channel Description

The transmitter outputs a total of 4 channels, which are allocated as follows:

• CH4 : Reset Button Note: By default the output of CH4 is 1000us, after which pressing the button will toggle between 1000 and 2000us.

This function is used to adjust the action direction of the ser vo or motor. The ST.REV / TH.REV knobs are the reverse buttons for CH1 and CH2. If the knob is up it indicates reverse, and the down indicates normal. The ST.TRIM is the trims for CH1 (steering),and can be multiplexed as Trims of CH3 ; The TH.TRIM is the trims for CH2 (throttle).and can be multiplexed as Trims of CH4 ; For multiplexing switching mode, see [5.5 Mode Switching]. Adjustment range: -120us- + 120us; ST.TRIM/TH.TRIM: counterclockwise adjustment to increase the trim value. The maximum value is 120 us. ST.TRIM- / TH.TRIM-: clockwise adjustment to decrease the trim value. The minimum value is -120 us.

The ST.D/R is the trims for CH1 (steering),and can be multiplexed as Trims of CH3 ; The ST.D/R is the trims for CH2 (throttle).and can be multiplexed as Trims of CH4 ; For multiplexing switching mode, see [5.5 Mode Switching]. Adjustment range: 0-120%; ST.D/R: counterclockwise adjustment to increase the ser vo amount. The maximum value is 120%. ST.D/R: clockwise adjustment to decrease the ser vo amount. The minimum value is 0%. TH.D/R: counterclockwise adjustment to increase the ser vo amount. The maximum value is 100%. TH.D/R: clockwise adju stment to decrease the ser vo amoun t. The minimum value is 10%. -9-5.5 Mode switching This function is for reusing the ST.TRIM and ST.D / R buttons for different channels (see [5.3 Trims], [5.4 D/R). Function setting: Under normal power-on condition, press the BIND button twice (within 1S) to switch between mode 1 and mode 2. By default, mode 1 is used. Mode 1: R.LED is always on. G.LED is off. ST.TRIM is for CH1 trim. ST.D/R is for CH1 ser vo adjustment. TH.TRIM is for CH2 throttle trim. TH.D/R is for CH2 throttle servo adjustment. Mode 2: R.LED and G.LED are flashing alternately. ST.TRIM is for CH3 trim. ST.D/R is for CH3 servo adjustment. TH.TRIM is for CH4 trim. TH.D/R is for CH4 ser vo adjustment. This function dictates what the receiver will do in the event that it loses signal from the transmitter, this includes servo position etc. Setup: When the transmitter is switched on in normal communication state, keep the channel to be set at the position of the failsafe setup, and press and hold the BIND button for 3S. The G.LED flashes for 2S, ind icating that the setting is successf ul. Th at is, when the rece i ver ca nnot receive the signal, it will output the set failsafe value.

te: The fail-sa fe function has no default set at the factory and as such must be set manually. If no failsafe setting has been set, then the receiver will not output anything when signal is lost.

Beginner mode is designed for people new to the hobby. In this mode the throttle will be limited to 50 percent, The channel range defaults to 1250~1500~1750us. Setup: To switch between beginner and normal modes,first press and hold the channel 4 button and Turn the handwheel to the bottom counterclockwise ,then turn on the transmitter . Note: By default, the system is set to normal mode. The GLED will flash slowly for 3 seconds during power on if the system is set to beginner mode.

• Three running modes: Forward /Brake, Forward/Brake/Reverse and Forward /Reverse, fits for various vehicles.

• Great current endurance capability.

• Great built-in BEC output capacity.

• Automatic throttle range calibration, easy to use.

• Easy to set the ESC parameters with jumpers.

• Multiple protections: Low voltage cut-off protection for battery / Over-heat protection / Throttle signal loss protection. ESC Specification: Fwd. Cont. /Peak Current: 60A/360A Voltage Range: 2-3S LiPo or 5-9 NiMH Motor Limit 2S or 6 NiMH: 540/550 Motor ≥12T or RPM<30000 @7.2V Motor Limit 3S or 9 NiMH: 540 or 550 Size Motor: ≥18T or RPM< 20000 @7.2V Resistance: Forward 0.001Ω, Reverse 0.002Ω BEC Output: 3A / 6V (Switch Mode) Dimension/Weight: 36.5x32x18 mm / 39g Cooling Fan: Without cooling fan Set the ESC parameters: How to set: 1060-BRUSHED ESC uses the jumper cap to set running mode & battery type. Way to set: We suggest users use the tweezers to set parameters by plugging / unplugging the jumper cap (as shown in the picture beside); For example, if want set the battery type to the “LiPo” mode, you only need to plug the jumper cap into left two pins of the battery pin header. Programmable items: 1. Running Mode: 3 Options (Fwd / Br / Rev, Fwd / Br, Fwd / Rev). “Fwd / Br / Rev” is the default option (Fwd=Forward, Br=Brake, Rev=Reverse) “Fwd / Br / Rev” mode indicates the vehicle can go forward, backward and brake. This mode uses “Double-click” method to make the vehicle reverse. When moving the throttle stick from the neutral zone to backward zone for the 1st time, the ESC begins to brake the motor and the motor slows down but still running, so the backward action is NOT performed immediately. When the throttle stick is moved to the backward zone again, if the motor speed slows down to zero (i.e. stopped), the backward action will happen. This “Double-click” method prevents mistakenly reversing action when the brake function is frequently used in steering. Therefore, this mode is often used in daily practice. For the “Fwd / Br” mode, the vehicle can go forward and brake, but no reversing, so this mode is often used in competition. And the “Fwd / Rev” mode uses “Single-click” method to make the vehicle reverse, when moving the throttle stick from neutral zone to backward zone, the vehicle reverses immediately, so this mode is usually used for rock crawling.
