.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.

2.4GHz Digital Radio System TRANSMITTER CONTROLS ( for PS3i ) 1. Transmitter Antenna: Straighten up the antenna before operating the model. 2. Power Indicator: The LED light indicates power is "on" or "off". 3. Edit Buttons: The left and right buttons are the "functions" selecting keys. The up(+) and down(-) buttons are the value adjusting keys. For additional details on specific operation, please refer to the "function" setting procedure (Page 8). 4.
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.
2.4GHz Digital Radio System 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.
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 back side 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.
2.4GHz Digital Radio System 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.
FAIL SAFE (F/S) FUNCTION SETTING Pre-settings for F/S function: EP Car : Steering at Neutral / ESC at Neutral GP Car : Steering at Neutral / Carb. at Iddle 1. Steering:Neutral 2.
2.4GHz Digital Radio System FUNCTIONS ( for PS3i ) There are 4 distinct areas on the screen: “Menu”, “Value Display”, “Status Display”, and “Trim position ruler”. Using the left and right “Edit Buttons”, the cursor will jump to the function you would like to edit. When you enter the menu function, you can press the up and down “Edit Buttons” to edit the value. Upon completing settings, simply press the right and left buttons to move the cursor to other functions, the previous value is now saved.
1) Turn off the radio. 2) Press the “up”(+) and “right”( ) buttons and hold them. 3) Turn on the radio, a short “Beep” is emitted (power on) , followed by a long “Bi” tone (finish tone mode switching). Release the “up”(+) and "right" ( ) button. NOTE: Repeat the above 1)~3) steps to switch back to “audio on” mode. Audio on Mode Audio off Mode 3.
2.4GHz Digital Radio System NOTE: If a servo’s maximum travel interferes with mechanical parts, it may cause linkage binding or even damage to the servo. It’s advised to first turn the steering wheel to the fullest and then adjust the EPA to the suitable value and visually confirm no biding is occurring. 4.2) EPA/TH Default H 100%, L100% Adjusting Range H 0%~140%, L 0%~160% The EPA/TH function adjusts full throttle (H) and low/brake (L) amount.
5.1) ARC/ST Default 0% Adjusting Range -100%~100% The ARC/ST function adjusts the sensitivity of the steering servo responsiveness near the neutral position. This setting affects both left and right steering servo movements at the same time and by the same percentage. Negative steering ARC setting provides lower sensitivity around the neutral point area and higher responsiveness out of the neutral point area. Positive steering ARC provides the opposite effect. 5.
2.4GHz Digital Radio System 6. Model Number Default Model 0 Adjusting Range Model 0~9 10 models can be saved in the radio memory code (Model 0~9). The Model No. flashes on the display. Use up(+)/down(-) buttons to call the model you want to select. When turning the transmitter on, the last model will be re-called on the model icon. Any amendments done on a particular model No. are automatically saved. 7.
FUNCTIONS ( for P2 / P3 ) 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. No Function *for Cougar P2 2.
2.4GHz Digital Radio System FUNCTIONS ( for P2 / P3 ) 4. Throttle Trim ĸ Neutral position trim Once the neutral position of the throttle trigger is set, by turning the Throttle Trim knob clockwise or counter-clockwise, the throttle neutral can be adjusted as needed. HELPFUL HINT When using an ESC, set the throttle trim to neutral and make adjustments to the speed control.
