6. Function Settings This section details functions and their use. 6.1 Reverse The Reverse function is used to correct a servo or motor's direction in relation to the systems controls. For example, if a steering servo is mounted upside down in order to fit inside a model, when the system's steering wheel is turned, the servo will move in the opposite direction.
6.4 Steering Exponential This function changes the steering channel's response curve. There are 2 main parameters: • Rate: Changes the outer limits of the steering, the default and maximum is 100%. • Exp. (Exponential): Changes the steering curve, which changes the response of the steering wheel.
6.7 Throttle Neutral Throttle Neutral creates a configurable dead zone for the throttle channel. Forward: How far the dead zone extends into the throttle zone. Dead Zone: The point at which the channel will kick in when the trigger passes the threshold. Backward: How far the dead zone extends into the braking zone.
6.10 A.B.S. A.B.S. stands for auto breaking system. This function is used to stop the wheels from locking which can lead to loss of control or a skid. A.B.S. manages this by regulating the amount of pressure the breaks use, which is done by pumping the breaks on and off rather than a constant force.
Duty Cycle Changes the length of each pulse and the gap between them. As the value changes, the length of the braking waves peaks and troughs will change independently of each other and will no longer be symmetrical. Steering Mix A.B.S. can be reduced automatically while turning. This function mixes braking and steering to turn reduce the A.B.S.
6.13 Throttle Idle Up Throttle Idle Up is used for models that use a fuel based engine that will stall if left at 0 throttle. Idle up makes sure that the engine always has some throttle in order to keep it from stalling. This function must be assigned to a switch/button in order to be activated (See [Buttons Assign]).
6.15 Boat Mode This function is used only when you are using a model boat. When this function is active, the throttle channel is set to its lowest position and the brake functionality is disabled. To toggle this function, select the box beside [Normal mode]. When the function is active, the text beside the box will change to [Boat mode].
6.18 Display Servos This function displays the model's channel output and can be used to test output and servo range. Press the icon to start servo test mode, which will move all the channels slowly though their entire range of motion. Press the icon to turn off servo test mode.
6.21 Models This function is used to change, reset, rename or copy model setups. The NB4 can store up to 20 different models in the internal memory. Selecting a model: To select a model touch "Select Model", then touch a model from the list.
7 RX Setup 7.1 Bind With A Receiver To bind with a reciever: 1. Put the receiver into bind mode (Check the receiver's user manual for your receiver on how to enter bind mode). 2. Touch "Bind With A Receiver" in the RX Setup menu. The NB4 will now bind with the receiver and exit automatically when binding is complete.
8 System 8.1 Backlight Timeout The backlight timeout function controls how long the system will wait before turning off screens backlight. Setup: 1. Select a time from the list. 8.2 Backlight This function controls the backlight brightness. Setup: 1. Use the + and - icons to change the backlight percentage. 2.
8.5 LED LED Light changes the color of the LED strip located above the power button. Changing Color: 1. Touch LED Light to enter the menu. 2. Select a color from the list. 3. Touch the icon to return to the previous menu. 8.6 Language Language changes the language for the user interface.
8.10 Firmware Update The internal software of the transmitter can be updated using the USB interface connected via a windows computer. Once this function is activated, all functions of the transmitter stop. To avoid any loss of control of the vehicle, turn its receiver off before entering this mode.
