- Page 2 Congratulations for choosing the Booma RC Wallaby Switch. Wallaby Switch was designed for giant scale RC enthusiasts by giant scale RC enthusiasts. Wallaby Switch offers features never seen before in Radio Control applications in a compact, light weight and affordable package.
- Page 3 DO’S DON’TS DO NOT use Wallaby Switch dual battery version with batteries of different voltages or different battery chemistries unless you are an advanced user that is aware of the consequences. Mixing of different battery voltages or chemistry types when using Wal- laby Switch may cause the battery with the highest voltage to be consumed first.

Wallaby Switch Outputs Battery Inputs Wallaby Switch Outputs As you connect the battery or batteries to Wallaby Switch the LED indicator will flash slowly THREE times. This indicates that all is OK. If the LED starts to flash rapidly this is an indication of incorrect battery type or a low voltage on one of the connected batteries. - Page 6 Turning Wallaby Switch ON and OFF Enter Wallaby Switch is supplied with 1 or 2 x fail-safe switches (de- pending on the selected model). As long as power is supplied to Wallaby Switch it will hold the state of the switch. Wallaby Switch also comes with additional protection circuitry to avoid an accidental ON or OFF state.

IMPORTANT - DO NOT MIX BATTERY CHEMISTRY WHEN USING Wallaby Switch. ALWAYS USE BATTERIES OF THE SAME CHEMIS- TRY AND CAPACITY. How To Calibrate - connect both batteries to Wallaby Switch and wait until the system check is complete (three slow flashes). Press and hold the RED “ENTER”... -
Page 10: Battery Monitoring
Once you have calibrated Wallaby Switch with the correct bat- tery type it will monitor the output voltage of your battery(s) If a low voltage is seen by Wallaby Switch from either battery then Wallaby Switch will flash the Blue LED in rapid bursts. This is an indication that something is wrong and should be investi- gated. - Page 11 Battery Capacity DO NOT EVER try to get the full mA capacity out of your batteries! An attempt to do this may end in disaster. Wallaby Switch meters consumption conservatively but NEVER OPERATE YOUR MODEL WITH A LOW VOLTAGE CONDITION.

- Page 13 Current capacity will then be limited to Wallaby Switch design. Using Wallaby Switch with a voltage regulator Wallaby Switch was designed to work with all current RC products regulated and unregulated. If you prefer using LifeP04 chemistry batteries (nominal 6.4v) then Wallaby Switch will work excellently in most RC and Robotics applications without a regulator.
