WARNING! Never operate an R/C model
with weak Tx batteries! Reduced operational
range and/or possible loss of control of the
aircraft could result. Replace weak alkaline
batteries, or re-charge NiCd or NiMH batteries before
attempting a fl ight!
If during a fl ight the Tx LED starts to fl ash, accompanied
by the sounding of audible tones, it’s a warning that the
Tx batteries have become weak and the aircraft should be
landed as soon as possible!
Adjustable Sticks
The length of both gimbal sticks can be adjusted as desired.
Loosen the set screw inside the center of the stick with a
2mm hex wrench. Rotate the stick end counter-clockwise to
lengthen the stick, or clockwise to shorten the stick. Once
the desired stick length is found, tighten the set screw with
the hex wrench.
Charge Jack
WARNING!! Do NOT attempt to recharge alkaline
batteries! The charge jack should ONLY be
used if rechargeable cells are used in the
transmitter.
The TTX404 includes a built-in charge jack for convenient
recharging of NiCd or NiMH batteries, and is compatible
with charge leads designed for Futaba
® brand transmitters.
(HCAP0101) This jack is NOT compatible with charge
leads for Hitec ® , Airtronics ® , JR ® or Spektrum ® radios. The
polarities for compatible charge plugs are as shown in the
picture below.
To use the charge jack with optional rechargeable batteries,
fi rst remove the sticker that covers the charge jack on the
side of the Tx – making sure not to allow any object to be
inserted inside the jack itself. Next, insert the cells inside
the Tx’s battery compartment noting proper polarity. Make
sure the transmitter’s power switch is in the OFF position.
Connect a compatible charge lead to the jack and follow the
instructions included with the charger for charging of NiCd or
NiMH batteries that are rated at 4.8V.
An inexpensive DC fi eld charger that is compatible with the
recommended charge leads is the Hobbico ® Quick Field DC
Charger MKII (HCAP0290). A more advanced AC/DC
recommendation is the Hobbico Accu-Cycle Elite Battery
Cycler (HCAP0280).
WARNING!! It’s not recommended to charge
batteries at greater than 1 amp through this
charge jack. Fast charging of NiCd and
NiMH batteries should ONLY be done with
chargers that are specifi cally designed to include the
peak-detection function which can automatically stop
charge when full charge is detected. Misuse, improper
charging, or over-charging of rechargeable cells can
result in damage to the cells that could include cell
rupture, explosion, or fi re!!
Trainer Function
The TTX404 Tx includes a built-in wireless trainer function
– no trainer cable required! This trainer system connects a
teacher’s Tactic Tx to a student’s Tactic Tx by wireless
connection. Tactic’s wireless trainer function is not compatible
with trainer systems in any other brand radios.
IMPORTANT! Before attempting to fl y the
airplane, it’s very important to make sure all
reversing switches and trim lever adjustments
on the student’s Tx match the settings on the
teacher’s Tx! Otherwise, the airplane could
suddenly veer off in an unwanted manner when the teacher’s
trainer switch is pressed. Proper matching of the student
and teacher’s Tx settings should ensure that no unexpected
movements occur when the trainer switch is pressed. This is
especially true of the throttle control!
1. The Tx that was used to setup the controls on the
aircraft must be used by the TEACHER.
2. The student must use a separate Tactic Tx with
wireless trainer function.
3. Place the teacher and student’s transmitters within 1
meter of each other, and make sure the throttle stick
for each Tx is set to idle.
4. Turn ON the power switch for the Tx being held by the
student.
5. Pull and hold the trainer switch on the teacher’s Tx,
and then turn ON the teacher’s Tx power switch.
6. The LED on the teacher’s Tx will fl ash 3 times to
indicate it has become bound with the student’s Tx.
7. The teacher can then release his trainer switch.
8. Once both transmitters are bound together, power
can be applied to the receiver to prepare for fl ight.
When the training session has ended, with the model on the
ground and all power removed from the model, place both
transmitters within 1 meter of each other and simply turn the
