ChANGING TO lEFT-hANDED CONFIGURATION

The DX4R PRO comes set up for right-handed use, but you can easily switch it to a left-handed configuration.
All the parts necessary to convert to left-handed, including the grip plates, the back cover and the front shell,
are included. The included 3/32-inch hex wrench and a small Phillips screwdriver will be needed.
1. Remove the batteries from the transmitter. This prevents
the possibility of accidentally causing a short during the
conversion.
2. Carefully remove the grip cover by prying with your
fingers at the forward edge of the rubber grip.
3. Using the 3/32-inch hex wrench, remove the three
screws on the front of the steering housing as shown.
4. Carefully remove the steering mechanism and unplug
the steering connector. Also remove the backplate.
5. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the four Phillips
screws (two per side) that fasten the grip plates in place.
Remove the grip plate that doesn't have the buttons
attached.
6. Carefully pull out the grip plate that contains buttons D,
E and F. Using a Phillips screwdriver remove the PC board
and backplate from the grip plate. Note the positions of
the three buttons.
7. Transfer the three buttons (D, E and F) to the other "handed"
grip plate (included in the box). The buttons fit in a specific
direction so that they fit the external contour of the grip plate.
