Thank you for purchasing KOPROPO EX-5FH. Please readand fully understand this instruction manual prior to useR/C models.
EX-5FH Features
Though developed as a well balanced and controllable entry model, the EX-5FH high-response transmitter uses
2.4GHz as a frequency and allows for simultaneous operation without checking for unused frequency bands.
EX-5FH is equipped with D.D.S. high response and is equivalent to a high-end model and widely recommended from
beginners to enthusiasts. 27 functions allows you to make detailed settings for R/C races.
The connection method of the peripheral devices is different for an electric car and engine car. Please refer to the
explanation chart below.

Page 2: For Safe Operation
■ For safe operation For safe operation With the nature of radio controlled model, improper usage may result in serious accidents. In order to avoid these circumstances, please read following contents before use. We cannot be held responsible for problems encountered when not complying with these cautions and notices. Warning! Failure to observe the matter discussed in such an item poses a serious threat of death or severe injury. Caution! Failure to observe the matter discussed in such an item poses a possibility of injury or damage to the equipment or property. Caution when installing units ●Make sure metal parts do not come in direct contact to model (chassis/ship hull) by vibration. ※Noise of metal parts may result in malfunction of receiver, and the model may run out of control Warning! ●Do not cut or bundle receiver antenna with other cables. Prohibited matters ※It may result in decreasing the sensitivity of receiver and may result in the model running out of control. ●Note polarity when installing batteries to transmitter and receiver. ※It may damage R/C units. ●Be sure to connect receiver, servo and switch connectors correctly. ※If connections are loosened by vibration, the model may run out of control. ●Attach receiver using thick double-sided tape to avoid direct contact with other parts. ※Strong shock and vibration may result in the model running out of control. Warning! ●Operate servo to check that there are no unnecessary forces onto the push rod. Enforcement matters ※It may damage the servo or increase the consumption of batteries. -

Page 4: Notes On Installing Receiver (Anti-Noise Measures)
■ Notes on installing receiver (anti-noise measures) Notes on installing receiver (anti-noise measures) Locate antenna cable as far away from noise source! Carbon chassis Battery Be careful of noise! Assume that all areas where large currents are flowing are generating noise! Locate antenna cables and receiver as far away from the motor, ESC, silicone cords as possible. (Materials such as metal receiver motor or carbon chassis also conduct noise) R/C model is controlled by radio wave. Therefore, anti-noise measures are the most important factor. Take measures to ensure optimum performance of your R/C model and driving technique. ... - Page 5 ■ Pairing／Steering／Throttle／ABS ▶How to pairing Register receiver to the transmitter 1. Forward key ＋ Back key ① Hold both Forward and Back keys and switch transmitter on. ② "PAIR" (blinking sign) will be displayed on the LCD screen and alarm sounds. ③ Blinking and alarm stops after approx. 5 seconds. Then LCD screen displays PAIR . Now the transmitter is ready. ④ Move receiver close to the transmitter (approx. within 1m) ⑤ Hold set button of the receiver then switch on. ⑥ Release set button. Receiver LED indicator turns on 2. Power switch after pairing is completed. Switch off both transmitter and receiver. 2. Power Check movement ▶ ① Switch on the transmitter first, then switch on the 1. Set button receiver. Confirm that the receiver LED indicator lit up. ② Check movement of the servo and the amplifier. ▶Adjusting steering Adjusting turning angle of the steering servo. ① Adjust MENU02: Steering trim to 0 (default setting) ② Adjust "MENU08: Steering sub-trim" so that the car run straight with the steering in neutral. ③ Operate steering wheel. Make sure that the setting does not lock the linkage. In this case, reduce values in "MENU03: Steering travel". If turning angle is not enough, adjust each left and right angle at the maximum in "MENU04: Steering balance R" and "MENU05 steering balance L". ※If left and right turning radius are not same at low speed running, increase values of steering balance of smaller radius to adjust. Adjust steering travel to reduce turning angle if car turns excessively while high-speed running. ※Frequent setting or worn-out linkage will deteriorate balance of steering. Periodical adjustment is recommended to keep performance of steering. ▶Adjusting throttle Adjust the movement amount of speed controller (electric car) / throttle linkage (gas car) When using with electric car: Refer to the instructions included with ESC.
