For other adjustments it should be known that hobby grade radio controlled products such as those offered by IKONNIK differ from toy grade, in that they are intended to be user- serviceable products where the user can program, disassemble and maintain their own product.
Understanding this dilemma we began the development of the ET4 with the physical needs of the users in mind. The transmitter is configurable for use by left-or right-hand users of most hand sizes.
2.4GHz Radio System Features Please read and understand the following instructions for your new radio system prior to operation to ensure a safe and most enjoyable experience. For right-handed users, the transmitter should be held in the left hand with the wheel controlled by the right hand.

2.4GHz Radio System Receiver Installation and Connection Installation To achieve full operating range with your radio system, it is critical that the receiver antenna be installed properly and undamaged. It should be installed with as much of the antenna as possible in a vertical position. The end of the antenna should be contained inside an antenna tube.
Pairing the Transmitter and Receiver The process of allowing communication to occur between a 2.4GHz transmitter and receiver is called “pairing” (sometimes referred to as “matching” or “binding”). The radio system comes pre-configured and paired from the factory. In the event your system loses pairing, or one of the components has been replaced, you will need to pair the transmitter and receiver.
2.4GHz Radio System Steering Reverse REV/Pair button 1. Turn the steering wheel completely to the left (or right) and press the “REV” button for at least 3 seconds to reverse channel 1. 2. The transmitter will beep once for confirmation of “Normal” and twice for confirmation of “Reverse”...
Throttle and Brake EPA Throttle CAUTION: FOR FUEL POWERED VEHICLES, PERFORM THIS STEP WITH THE ENGINE EPA buttons OFF, PRIOR TO CALIBRATE THE SERVO TRAVEL FOR THE CARBUREATOR. FOR ELECTRIC POWERED VEHICLES, PERFORM THIS STEP WITH THE VEHICLE OFF, PRIOR TO CALIBRATING THE ESC TO THE TRANSMITTER. Throttle Adjustment: Pull the throttle trigger completely to full throttle and use the “TH+”...
Your IKONNIK transmitter is equipped with two proprietary features to improve and safeguard your experience with radio controlled products. Uniquely implemented by IKONNIK are both a Beginner Mode and Feature Lock. To avoid accidental changing of radio settings by inexperienced or younger users, you can set the mode switch to the middle position which will lock out all functions except the steering trim.
10 Model Memory with Pair Safe Technology Your transmitter can store up to 10 models in memory, where all of the settings are stored independently for each model. This enables you to use one transmitter with up to 10 different vehicles. Incorporating Pair Safe technology ensures the transmitter will only control the receiver that is paired to the currently selected model.
2.4GHz Radio System Memory Reset The transmitter has two memory reset features. The first is an individual model reset which as it might sound, resets most parameters to their factory default settings without affecting other models in memory. The second is a full factory reset which restores all parameters to their factory default settings and removes all paired receivers from memory.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE NON-RECHARGABLE BATTERIES, YOU MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION 1. Remove the battery cover from the transmitter. Safety Lock Battery Location 2. Remove the old batteries. 3. Insert the four new AA batteries according to the polarity markings on the battery holder.
2.4GHz Radio System Calibrating ESCs When calibrating your ESC and transmitter, ensure your Throttle Trim is centered and your Throttle and Brake EPA settings are set to their maximum of 100%. This will ensure your ESC reaches full throttle/brake when your trigger reaches full travel.
Using Your Transmitter For The First Time WARNING: PERFORM THESE STEPS IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT! MANY FIRST TIME USERS THINK THE STREET IS A GOOD PLACE TO TEST OPERATION, HOWEVER THIS IS DANGEROUS! WE RECOMMEND USING AN OPEN FIELD OR CLOSED AREA WITHOUT VEHICLE TRAFFIC Power 1.
2.4GHz Radio System Maintenance We want you to enjoy your product to its fullest potential. For this to happen it is important to keep your product clean and properly maintained. Lack of cleaning and maintenance can cause component failure. For best and continued performance from your product it is recommended to briefly inspect your product for damage every few uses.
Storage and Disposal Storage • Always store all equipment in a cool dry place when not in use. • Always disconnect the batteries before storage. • Never store the transmitter or receiver in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. •...
2.4GHz Radio System Appendix A: Grip Inserts The ET4 grip was engineered specifically to fit a wide range of users with varying hand sizes. Changing the grip size on your transmitter is easy and will allow for a safer, more comfortable and enjoyable user experience. For extra small hands, the transmitter can be operated without a rubber grip insert installed.

2.4GHz Radio System Tip: When reinstalling the wheel module, ensure the center of the wheel module is angled close to vertical, tilted slightly back towards the grip. This provides the most natural neutral position for the most common cant. 1. Remove the two screws on each side of the wheel module using a 2mm hex wrench.
