.4GHz Digital Radio System INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the ACE RC Cougar 2.4GHz digital radio system. The Cougar radio system was specially designed with the latest wireless and advanced-programming technology to meet driver’s requirements. With spread spectrum and smart frequency-hopping system, the Cougar radio system delivers precision and smoothness of operation at the same time without any interference risks. Cougar pistol radios are configured for operating surface R/C models.
FEATURES TRANSMITTER ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Advanced 2.4GHz frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology for TRS402SS & TRS403SS. (NOTE) Steering / Throttle trims Steering / Throttle servo reversing Throttle / Brake ATV–Adjustable Travel Volume Steering dual-rate adjustment LED battery voltage indicator Low battery alarm RECEIVER ● The TRS403ss is the 2.4GHz 4CH receiver paired with the COUGAR GP2 / GP3 transmitter. Its compact and small size allows you to install it almost anywhere on your model.

TRANSMITTER CONTROLS 1. Transmitter Antenna: Built-in antenna, it is not easy broken. 2. Battery Level Indicator: Green / Red LEDs indicate the battery voltage. If the Red LED flashes, please replace the batteries. 3. HI/LO Throttle ATV (Adjustable Travel Volume): Provide the function to let you independently preset the maximum travel of the throttle servo either side (high / low) of neutral. 4. Servo reversing switches: To reverse the servo's rotation direction at the flip of the switch.
2.4GHz Digital Radio System INSTALLATION Transmitter batteries replacement / installation 1) 2) 3) 4) Slide the battery cover in the direction as shown to remove the cover. Install 6pcs alkaline or rechargeable “AA” size cells into the battery holder connected to the transmitter. Slide on the battery cover and make sure it is closed securely. Turn the power on to check. If the Power Indicator LED fails to light, check the batteries for insufficient contact or incorrect battery polarity.
Radio installation 1) 2) 3) 4) Connect the receiver, servos, and switch hardness/battery pack as shown. If you are not familiar with all the control systems. Do the “bench test” before to install all the devices on the model. Always follow the “transmitter on first, off last” procedure. Always install the receiver as far as possible from the motor, ESC, power battery, motor wires.. or other noise sources. Especially, do not route the motor wires next to the receiver, crystal or receiver antenna.
2.4GHz Digital Radio System BINDING PROCESS A binding feature is included in the ACE RC Cougar 2.4GHz spread spectrum system to ensure the transmitter and receiver bind properly and prevent interference from other controllers. To manually bind Tx/Rx, please proceed as per the following steps: a. Press and hold the “Binding SW” button on the top of the transmitter while turning on the transmitter. b. Release the “Binding SW” button after the green / red LED flashes indicating the transmitter is binding. c.
FAIL SAFE (F/S) FUNCTION SETTING ACE RC COUGAR 2.4GHz R/C system features a built-in Failsafe function to automatically set a servo command if the receiver loses the signal from transmitter due to interference. For safety, we strongly recommend to active the FAILSAFE function on your Cougar R/C system. Setting up the Failsafe (F/S) Function: a. After binding the transmitter and receiver, you can continually set up the F/S function. Turn on the transmitter power and then receiver power. b.

FUNCTIONS 1. Servo Reversing It is sometimes necessary or convenient to reverse the output direction of the servo. The direction of the rotation for each individual servo can be changed by simply flipping the reversing switch that corresponds to the channel number on the receiver where the servo is plugged in. Under normal circumstances, Ch1 is steering, Ch2 is throttle. Using the reversing switches as needed. 2.
2.4GHz Digital Radio System 4. Throttle ATV Throttle Adjustable Travel Volume/ATV provides the function to preset independently throttle travel of the servo either side of neutral. It offers easier adjustments to set the throttle operation at idle and maximum power. 5. Steering D/R Steering D/R allows you to change the steering travel while running by turning the dual rate dial as shown to correct over-steering and under-steering problems by increasing or decreasing steering sensitivity.
