Always turn on the transmitter first by sliding the switch
on the left side of the wheel from left to right. The small
red and green lights above the switch should both light
up. If not ,you need to check for low or incorrectly
installed batteries.
Once the transmitter has been turned on, turn on the
Mini-Slider by sliding the switch on the speed controller to
the “On” position. If the rear wheels turn, adjust the “TH.
Trim” knob located to the lower right of the steering wheel
until they stop. To go forward, pull the trigger back. If you
should need reverse, wait for the model to stop then push
the trigger forward. When going forward the model should
move in a straight line. If not, adjust the “ST. TRIM” so that
it tracks in a straight line without having to turn the steering
wheel. After you are have finished, turn the Mini-Slider off
FIRST by sliding the switch to the “OFF” position. After the
model has been turned off, turn off the transmitter. If you
wish to clean your Mini-Slider, use compressed air and/or
a soft paintbrush to remove dust and dirt. NEVER use
chemicals or anything wet as it can cause damage to both
electronics and plastic parts.
Although set at the factory, below are the steps required
to re-bind your transmitter to the receiver should the need
arise. During the bind process there is a unique ID from
the transmitter communicated to the receiver to ensure
trouble-free radio operation.
Steps to Re-Bind
1. Ensure that the transmitter and vehicle are both turned
off.
2. Using the supplied Bind plug (which
looks like a standard receiver plug with a
wire loop installed) insert
or plug into the receiver
slot labeled “BIND”.
Looking down on the
receiver this slot would be
below the LED and is the
farthest from the LED, or
nearest to the corner of
the receiver.
Note: you do not need to remove any of the other plugs to
re-bind.
3. With the Bind plug installed, turn on the vehicle. Notice
a blinking Orange LED within the receiver.
4. Now you are ready to turn on the transmitter. You
should notice on the back of the transmitter a similar blink-
ing Orange LED under the translucent cover.
5. Both the receiver and transmitter blinking Orange LED’s
will stop blinking and become solid, indicating they have
“bound” themselves together.
6. Please turn off both the vehicle and transmitter to
remove the Bind plug from the receiver. Failing to remove
the Bind plug will cause the transmitter to attempt to re-
bind every time you turn on the vehicle and transmitter.
7. Turn on both the vehicle and transmitter to ensure
operation. If the transmitter does not control the vehicle,
please repeat steps 1 to 6. Should this not correct the
problem, please call Horizon Service/Repair for further
assistance.
8. The Bind process is complete. Your vehicle’s radio
system should be ready for use.
ALWAYS
• Turn on the transmitter before the vehicle
• Use caution when running your vehicle near
people
• Turn both the Mini-Slider and transmitter “Off”
when done
• Check the battery condition of the transmitter
before running
NEVER
• Operate the Mini-Slider with low battery power
• Run the Mini-Slider through water or wet grass
• Use chemicals to clean the chassis
• Run the Mini-Slider without a gear cover
