Set-up and installation of your new Ranger 2N

Please read the following section carefully before
attempting to install the Ranger 2N system

When installing the system in the model of your choice, please follow the
detailed instructions found in the model kit.

1. The transmitter requires eight and the receiver battery pack needs four

AA size batteries. These can be Alkaline or Ni-cad cells. If you choose to
install Ni-cad batteries, the optional CG-25A(110V)or CG-22(220V)
Hitec overnight wall charger can be used to re-charge them.

2. When loading the batteries, make sure the receiver and transmitter switches

are in the "off" position.

3. Open the battery door in the back of the transmitter by squeezing the tab on the

bottom of the battery door and lifting up.

4. Load batteries into the appropriate slots, taking care to install according to the

proper polarity.

5. Replace the battery door and turn the power "on". If the batteries are fresh and

charged, the green L.E.D. will be lit. Should the battery power drop to an unacceptable
level, the red L.E.D. will glow, warning the user of impending failure. At this point,
replace the alkaline cells or charge the batteries if they are Ni-cads.

1. Install the receiver to protect it from vibration and potential crash damage.
2. Typically one servo will be used for the steering and the other servo will be

used to operate a mechanical speed control, or not used at all and an optional
electronic speed control will be used.

3. If your vehicle is electric, there will be a proportional speed control you will wish

to use. If your speed control is mechanical, it will require a servo to operate it.

The battery and switch harness found in the kit must also be used to provide the
receiver with power.

4. Should your model use an electronic speed control that has the option of the

B.E.C. circuit (battery eliminator circuit), this feature will eliminate the receiver
battery and use the motor battery to feed the receiver and servos through the
speed control.

5. Please refer to the instructions that accompany your electronic

speed control for installation.
