This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. And should be operated with minimum distance of 20 cm between the antenna & your body. Carisma CTX-8000 2.4GHz FHSS Technology System The following is an overview of the various functions and adjustments found on CTX-8000 radio system for Carisma models. It is important to read and understand about all of these functions and adjustments before driving. Power ON / OFF the Transmitter The Transmitter CTX-8000 Steering Wheel : Control direction (Left / Right) of the RC model. Throttle Trigger : Control speed (Forward/Brake/Backward) of the driving model. Antenna : Transmit signal to the model. Power ON / OFF : Power ON / OFF the transmitter SYNC & Battery Indicator : Green LED light indicates synchronization status and/or adequate battery power supply. Red LED light indicates low battery Dual Rate Dial : Adjust the same maximum steering angle on both sides when model turns Left / Right ST. Trim Dial : Adjust the neutral position of steering servo when model wheels are straight ahead. TH. Trim Dial : Make sure the model stays still when releasing the throttle trigger. Battery Compartment Tray : Cover and hold the batteries powering the transmitter.
* In general, user will experience under steer when making a wide turn at high speed or over steer when making sharp turn at high speed (easy to spin out). User should practice the throttle and steering approach for different cornering at different speed or road surface. Throttle Trim Dial Steering Trim Dial Power ON / OFF Steering Reverse Switch Throttle Reverse Switch Dual Rate Dial Battery Installation Supplied with 4 x 1.5V AA Batteries, CTX-8000 can be operated a few hours. Installation: Remove the battery compartment cover as shown below. Install the batteries observing the polarity marked on battery compartment. Then reinstall the battery compartment cover as the Picture shown below. ST.TRIM TH.TRIM ST TH CTX-8000 FTN Key Warning : Never disassemble batteries or put the batteries in re, chemical agents, otherwise they may cause personal injuries or property damages. Battery Disposal : Observe corresponding regulations about wasted battery treatment regulations. 1. After running out of power, dispose of wasted batteries in designated areas far away from water supply, household areas and planted areas. 2. Submit the wasted batteries to specic recycling stations. 1. Steering : Adjust the steering trim to keep the front wheels in straight line when steering wheel remains in NEUTRAL position. 2. Throttle : Adjust the throttle trim to ensure the rear wheels stop rotating when throttle trigger remains in NEUTRAL position. Battery LED Indicator The LED indicator located on the front left side of the transmitter indicates the power supply of batteries. The green LED will go solid on indicating that the batteries have sufcient power. When batteries voltage drops below 3.8 volts, the Red LED will be ashing slowly, indicating the batteries power is low and should be replaced. Solid Green :

* Always turn on the transmitter rst (except doing synchronizing) by sliding the switch on the left side from bottom to top. The green lights above the switch should light up. If not, you need to check for low or incorrectly installed batteries. For Transmitter x 4 Heavy Duty 1.5V AA Size Batteries ATTENTION Damages or Leaking Do not use any damaged batteries. Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union This product must never be thrown away with other waste. Thus the users are liable for disposing the wasted model by submitting them to designated collection stations specic for recycling electronic and electric items. Disposing of the wasted model in this way is helpful to conserve natural resources and enable to keep human health and protect the environment. For more information about wasted model disposal and recycling, please contact your local city ofce, your disposal service or where you purchased the product. Top Control Panel ABOUT THE RADIO SYSTEM ST.TRIM TH.TRIM ST TH ST.TRIM TH.TRIM ST TH Throttle Reverse Switch Dual Rate Dial Steering Reverse Switch Trimming ST.TRIM TH.TRIM ST TH Dual Rate Dial Dual Rate Dial enables to adjust the same maximum steering angle of servo on both sides (Left and Right) when model makes steering. The Dual Rate Dial aects the sensitivity of servo. Reducing dual rate value can lower the sensitivity of servo and reduce the same maximum steering angle on both sides. Remember to adjust the dual rate value within the adjustment range. Reversing Reversing is used to change the response direction of steering wheel and throttle trigger. CTX-8000 Transmitter features 2 reversing functions: Steering Reverse and Throttle Reverse. Steering Reverse: Reverse the response direction when operating steering wheel. Turning left steering wheel, the model turns right while turning right the model turns left. Throttle Reverse: Reverse the response direction when operating throttle trigger. Pushing forward throttle trigger the model moves backward while pulling back, the model moves forward. If necessary you can just use a small screwdriver to adjust the corresponding switches. CTX-8000 features two trimming functions:
Steering Trim and Throttle Trim. Steering Trim Dial :
Adjust the neutral position of steering servo when the wheels are straight ahead. Normally steering trim is adjusted until the model can keep straight tracks. Throttle Trim Dial :
Adjust the throttle trim to ensure the rear wheels stop rotating when throttle trigger remains in NEUTRAL position. Carisma 2.4GHz Receiver MRX2800 Auxiliary Port
(Reserved) Throttle Port Steering Port Auxiliary Port (Reserved) Steering Port : Where to plug in the servos. Throttle Port : Where to plug in the Electronic Speed Controler (ESC). Setup button : Synchronize transmitter and receiver. Select frame rate. Tips :
Wrap the receiver with something soft, such as foam rubber, to avoid vibration. If there is a chance of getting wet, put the receiver in a waterproof bag or balloon. Synchronization & Frame Rate Adjust RECEIVER CONNECTION AND INSTALLATION Setup Button Antenna Cable Warning :
Never bend the metal pins on the PCB of receiver. Never cut the antenna cable. Install the antenna vertically as shown in the gure. Keep the antenna as far away from the motor, ESC and other noise sources as you possibly can. MRX2800 Install the antenna vertically to the ground. Remarks :
The mounting positions of receiver and antenna cable greatly aect the operating range. Setup Key of Receiver ST.TRIM ST.TRIM TH.TRIM TH.TRIM 1. Prior to any operation make sure the transmitter and receiver are both turned o. 2. Press and hold the setup button on the receiver while power on the receiver. 3. Release the setup button till green LED ashes. 4. Press the setup button to select the frame rate with green LED ashing. Faster Flashing = High frame rate (7ms) for digital servo Slower Flashing = Low frame rate (15ms)for analogue servo 5. Power on the transmitter. With the transmitter steering wheel and throttle trigger in neutral position (full stop and straight steering), press the FTN Key of the transmitter. 6. When synchronization is done, the green LED on both receiver and transmitter will turn solid on. ST.TRIM TH.TRIM ST TH ST ST TH TH FTN Key 3
