Congratulaons for choosing the Booma RC Intelliswitch.
Intelliswitch is the result of 24 months of design and tesng and
was designed for giant scale RC and Robocs enthusiasts by a gi-
ant scale RC and Robocs enthusiast. Intelliswitch oers features
never seen before in Radio Control applicaons in a compact, light
weight and aordable package.
Before you install Intelliswitch please take the me to
read these instrucons. A few simple steps will have
you successfully using this advanced product in no
me at all.
Intelliswitch Features:
- Microprocessor control - of 2 x independent high powered digital
switching circuits.
- Fail Safe Switching - of both baeries.
- Back lit LCD - for easy daylight reading.

DO’S and DON’TS
Intelliswitch comes with 2 completely independent solid state
digital switches and is designed to be used with 2 baeries of the
same chemistry and capacity for receiver and servo switching. A
matched pair of baeries will give best performance.
DO NOT use Intelliswitch with baeries of dierent voltages or
dierent baery chemistries unless you are an advanced user
that is aware of the consequences. Mixing of dierent baery
voltages or chemistry types when using Intelliswitch may cause
the baery with the highest voltage to be consumed rst. This
may be desirable if you are experienced with modeling or Robot-
ics, however you do this at your own risk.
It is recommended that Intelliswitch is used in conjuncon with
a Booma RC Dual Baery isolator for baery fail-safe single
receiver usage.
NEVER USE INTELLISWITCH (OR ANY DUAL SWITCH) TO SWITCH
AN IGNITION SYSTEM AND RECEIVER SYSTEM AT THE SAME
TIME. INTERFERENCE FROM THE IGNITION SYSTEM MAY CAUSE
LOSS OF CONTROL OF YOUR MODEL.
To switch your models gas ignion system we recommend the
Booma RC Ignion Switch, designed to isolate any ignion inter-
ference from your receiver system.
WARNING
Please observe correct connecon polarity i.e. RED is baery
posive and BLACK is baery negave. Incorrect polarity will
damage the main circuit output capacitor(s) voiding warranty.

RSET
SURE
Aer connecng freshly charged baeries to
Intelliswitch you reset the baery usage me-
ters by pressing the GREEN “ON/OFF” buon
once.
Intelliswitch will then ash the leers “SURE”.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU RESET THE CAPACITY
METERS AFTER EACH RECHARGE OF YOUR BATTERIES.
CAPACITY METERING IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!
Connect both baeries to Intelliswitch (see
page 15 for connecon details). Do not con-
nect Intelliswitch to the receiver just yet. The
display will show the leers “RSET”. Intel-
liswitch is asking whether you want to reset
the baery capacity usage meters which of course you want to
aer each baery recharge.
This funconality allows you to monitor how much capacity has
been drawn out of your baeries. Intelliswitch will present you
with the reset opon every me the baeries are connected.
To conrm that you want to reset the capacity meters press the
GREEN “ON/OFF” buon again and Intelliswitch will reset the me-
ters to show 0 mA. To cancel the reset aer selecng sure, press
the RED “ENTER” buon once.
HINT - If you don’t want to reset the meters just press the
RED “ENTER” buon once aer connecng baeries and Intel-
liswitch will keep the exisng capacity informaon.

Turning Intelliswitch ON and OFF
To Switch Intelliswitch ON (aer baery con-
necon is made) PRESS AND HOLD the GREEN
“ON/OFF” buon. Intelliswitch will start to
FLASH “TURN ON”. While ashing press the RED
“ENTER” buon once and Intelliswitch will
switch both baeries on supplying power.

To Switch Intelliswitch OFF - PRESS AND HOLD
the GREEN “ON/OFF” buon.
Intelliswitch will start to FLASH “TURN OFF”.
While ashing press the RED “ENTER” buon
and Intelliswitch will switch both baeries o
and removing power to the receiver(s).
Intelliswitch is supplied with 2 x fail-safe switches. As long as
power is supplied to Intelliswitch it will hold the state of the
switch. Intelliswitch also comes with addional protecon
circuitry to avoid an accidental ON or OFF state.

Sleep Mode
SLEEP MODE WILL ONLY ACTIVATE WHEN INTELLISWITCH IS IN
THE OFF STATE
Intelliswitch uses a state-of-the-art low power technology to maxi-
mise the life of your baeries. While in the o state Intelliswitch
will go into a sleep mode using only 0.4mA to conserve power.
You can leave Intelliswitch connected to the baeries however it
is advisable to disconnect Intelliswitch from the baeries if storing
your model for a long period.
WHAT HAPPENS IN SLEEP MODE?
To conserver power Intelliswitch turns o all unnecessary circuits,
blanks the display and turns o the display processor to conserve
baery power.
WAKING INTELLISWITCH FROM SLEEP MODE.
In sleep mode INTELLISWITCH is monitoring the front panel but-
tons.
To wake Intelliswitch from sleep mode press either of the front
panel buons. The display will light up and show “SYST OFF”.
Intelliswitch is awake and set to display page 1.
