PROFI CAR 403 and 707

Operating instructions

Before operating the transmitter, please select the language (see 9.4, page 42)!

Dear customer,

dear fellow modeller,

we are delighted that you have decided to purchase a MULTIPLEX radio control system.

The „PROFI CAR“ is the first „pistol-grip“ transmitter designed and developed by MULTIPLEX.

Ergonomic efficiency and user-friendliness were our top priority during the development

process.

That’s not to say that we have neglected performance: the new system includes many

innovative and practical features, offering you facilities which until now have not been

available in systems of this class. They include:

vInterchangeable RF module, switchable to suit AM and FM receivers

vUp to 7 channels (steering, throttle/brake + 5 auxiliary channels)

v2 steering servos and 2 brake servos (PROFI CAR 707 only)

vSeparate throttle servo (PROFI CAR 707 only)

Of course, you don’t need to use these features; you can still operate the PROFI CAR as a

„completely normal“ set, i.e. with one steering servo and a second servo for throttle/brake.

We are confident that you will have many hours of pleasure with your PROFI CAR.

Yours the MULTIPLEX team

Safety

Radio-controlled models are not toys!

You can make a major contribution to safety when operating your models by acting

responsibly and handling your radio control system and model with due care.

vCheck the electrical and mechanical connections in the model at regular

intervals.

vCheck all moving parts regularly: they must be free to move, and must not

exhibit undue lost motion.

vCarry out regular range checks (see „Range testing“).

vWhen other drivers are present at the track, find out which channels are

already in use before you switch on.

vBefore every run: extend the transmitter aerial to full length, and check that

it is in good condition and firmly seated.

vCheck that you have selected the model memory corresponding to the

model you are running.

vCheck all the working systems in your model before you start:

Do the servos rotate in the correct direction?

Are the travels correct?

vAre the transmitter and receiver battery adequately charged, and in well

maintained and roadworthy condition?

vUse only genuine MULTIPLEX crystals, batteries and accessories.

vIf your receiving system includes components which are not covered by

these operating instructions, be sure to read the instructions supplied with

those items.

If you are in doubt on any point -don’t operate your model! Take your time, carefully

check the system again, and eliminate the fault. If you cannot solve the problem,

your local model shop or the MULTIPLEX customer service department will be

pleased to help you with advice and practical help.

!! Read and observe the notes in Chapter 11 on using the system!

Repeat function

All trim rockers have an automatic repeat function when held pressed for longer than

about 1 second.

Special case –TRUCK:

If you wish to control a truck with your Profi Car, you have 5 auxiliary channels

available (see 8: Driving trucks). In this mode only the steering trim (rocker A) is

active; all the other rockers are used to control the auxiliary channels.

The „instrument panel“ (screen)

The picture below shows everything which the screen can display. What you actually

see at any one time depends on what you are doing: whether timers are active,

whether you are currently programming the transmitter, which type of vehicle you

have selected, etc.

A few examples are shown on this page.

Operating display

Timer mode: OFF

If no timer function is active, the first text line displays the

model name you have entered. Text line 2 shows the

transmitter battery voltage.

Timer Mode: LAP

The second text line shows the number of the lap on the left-

hand side. To record the start and end of each lap you press the

handle button G.

Timer-Mode: L+T (Laps + Time memory)

In this mode the second text line shows the number of the lap

on the left (in our example 03) and the time for the current lap

on the right (in our example 28.3 sec).

Timer-Mode: L+T+E (Laps + Time memory + Race duration)

The first text line displays the total duration of the race (in our

example 2 min. 36.5 sec). The second text line shows the

number of laps and the time of the current lap, as in the

previous example.

Special case: battery alarm with timer active

If one of the timer modes is active and the battery voltage falls to the alarm

threshold, the screen displays the current lap time and the battery voltage and BATT

warning, alternating at 2-second intervals.

When you are changing settings

When you are changing the transmitter settings, the first text

line shows the selected menu point (in our example: the

throttle curve). On the left of the second text line you see the

parameter which you have selected with the help of the handle

button (in our example full throttle). At bottom right the screen shows the current

value (in our example 87%) above the % symbol

The principle

The five menu buttons on the PROFI CAR transmitter are the key to all set-up

processes. The button symbols tell you which menu points you can access with each

button.
