Introduction
The IKONNIK ET4 transmitter was engineered with great ergonomics
for ultimate comfort and to allow its use by the most people possible.
While being packed with high-end software functions is great; if you
can’t physically use the transmitter or if it is uncomfortable, what good
will the technology bring you? Understanding this dilemma we began the
development of the ET4 with the physical needs of the users in mind. The
transmitter is congurable for use by left-or right-hand users of most hand
sizes. Included are 3pcs of rubber grips that can be changed to suit your
hand size. These were designed to t the small hands of children and also
the larger hands of adults. The Wheel module can be ipped from side
to side and repositioned fore or aft for comfort or placed up high. A
wheel installed in a lower position is best for ergonomics and
synchronization of your hands. The ideal position for your
hands is to have your wrists comfortably aligned both
in height and distance from your body while holding
the transmitter. The ET4 provides many options
to congure the wheel position to best suit
your body. The default conguration is the
most common and a good place to start.
We highly recommend conguring your
radio system prior to making changes to
the wheel position or placement. This
will enable you to conrm the proper
function and help with troubleshooting
should any issues arise after making a
physical change. See the appendices at the
back of this manual for assistance in adjusting
the ergonomics of your new transmitter.
Ready to expand your collection? The IKONNIK
ET4 is equipped with our proprietary 2.4GHz
Xenon protocol. This means that any
product containing the IKONNIK Xenon
logo will easily pair with one of the
models of your radio. No more need
to take multiple transmitters with you
when one will do.

2.4GHz Radio System
Receiver Installation and Connection
Installation
To achieve full operating range with your radio system, it is critical that the
receiver antenna be installed properly and undamaged. It should be installed
with as much of the antenna as possible in a vertical position. The end of the
antenna should be contained inside an antenna tube. When installing:
• Ensure there are no kinks in the antenna or antenna tube.
• Never fold the end of the antenna over the tube, this will reduce the
operating range of the system and damage the antenna.
• Ensure the receiver is mounted securely or padded against hard impacts.
Connection
•
Channel 1: Controlled by the wheel, connect to a servo for steering.
• Channel 2: Controlled by the trigger, connect to the ESC or a servo for
throttle/brake.
• Channel 3: Controlled by the adjustment knob (0-100%) for optional use.
▪This port can also be used to connect a transponder device used in controlled
racing.
• AUX (Channel 4): Controlled by button (ON/OFF) for optional use.
▪ This port is most commonly used for LED light kits.
▪Use this port to connect an external battery for use in fuel powered vehicles.
CAUTION: NEVER CONNECT A BATTERY WITH VOLTAGE HIGHER THAN 6.0V TO THE
RECEIVER, DOING SO COULD DAMAGE THE ELECTRONICS.

Pairing the Transmitter and Receiver
The process of allowing communication to occur between a 2.4GHz
transmitter and receiver is called “pairing” (sometimes referred to as
“matching” or “binding”). The radio system comes pre-congured and
paired from the factory. In the event your system loses pairing, or one of
the components has been replaced, you will need to pair the transmitter
and receiver. Follow the below steps for pairing your radio system. Always
ensure both transmitter and receiver batteries are fully charged or new when
performing this process for best results.
WARNING: AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION, PERFORM THE PAIRING PROCESS WITH ALL
PARTS OF YOUR VEHICLE OFF THE GROUND.
1. With the transmitter in close proximity but not closer than 1ft to the
receiver, turn ON the transmitter rst, then the vehicle. The LED on
the receiver will blink, indicating that the receiver is not paired to a
transmitter that is on.
2. Ensure you are using the correct or desired model for your vehicle,
re-check then continue if necessary.
3. Turn the transmitter OFF, hold the REV/Pair button and turn the power
back ON to put the transmitter into pairing mode.
4. Push the button on the receiver once, the LED will start to blink faster
indicating it is searching for a transmitter to pair with. This may take up to
10 seconds.
5. Once the transmitter and receiver are paired, the receiver’s LED will turn
solid red. If the receiver’s LED does not turn solid red, turn off both the
transmitter and receiver and repeat steps 3-4.
6. Once pairing is complete, ensure normal operation of throttle and
steering before placing the vehicle back on the ground.
7. When using the transmitter with multiple vehicles, it may be necessary to
reverse Channel 1 (Steering) to have proper steering operation.
8. If you experience anything other than normal operation, repeat the
process or consult the troubleshooting guide.
Channel Reverse (REV)
The channel reverse function sets the direction of operation for the servo
or ESC relative to the transmitter steering and throttle inputs. This function
would be used to correct, for example, if turning the transmitter steering
wheel right resulted in the model turning left and vice versa. Some ESCs
require channel 2 be reversed in order to program them properly.
WARNING: AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION, PERFORM THE CHANNEL REVERSE
ADJUSTMENTS WITH THE MOTOR UNPLUGGED FROM THE ESC AND WITH ALL
PARTS OF YOUR VEHICLE OFF THE GROUND.

Steering Reverse
1. Turn the steering wheel completely to the left (or right) and press the
“REV” button for at least 3 seconds to reverse channel 1.
2. The transmitter will beep once for conrmation of “Normal” and twice
for conrmation of “Reverse” setting.
Throttle Reverse
1. Pull the throttle trigger completely to full throttle (or push forward for full
brake) and press the “REV” button for at least 3 seconds to reverse the
Throttle (TH) channel.
2. The transmitter will beep once for conrmation of “Normal” and twice for
conrmation of “Reverse” setting.
Digital Trim Settings
The channel trims of your models are stored in memory and do not need to
be adjusted every time a model is re-selected.
Steering Trim (Channel 1): Use trim to ensure the vehicle can track straight
with no steering input
Throttle Trim (Channel 2): Use trimmed so the vehicle is stationary when no
throttle input is applied
• Press the (+) or (-) buttons for each channel to adjust the trim setting. A
long beep will sound when the neutral position is reached.
• Once the trim setting reaches its limit, a long steady “beep” will sound.
End Point Adjustment (EPA)
End points are used to set the maximum travel for their respective channel.
Steering end points are used to independently adjust the left and right
steering angles relative to the steering wheel position. To adjust them both
at the same time, see the section on Steering Dual-Rate. Throttle end points
are used to independently adjust the full throttle and full brake position for
an ESC or throttle servo. The end points are set by moving the transmitter
control to its maximum position and using the corresponding (+) or (-) buttons
to adjust the end point.
Note: The steering dual-rate should be set to 100% prior to setting steering EPA.
Steering EPA
CAUTION: BE CAREFUL TO NOT OVER-EXTEND THE STEERING THROW AS IT CAN
CAUSE YOUR SERVO TO OVER-WORK AND OVER-HEAT.
• Turn the steering wheel completely to the left and use the ‘ST+’ or
‘ST-’ buttons to adjust the steering angle of the vehicle to maximum
(sometimes this will require reducing the travel).
• Repeat this process for turning the wheel right.
