the power switch off, turning on the display switch will acti­vate the display and all programming functions can be
accessed. This also uses about 2/3 less power; if you plan
on working with the programming for a while, using the dis­play switch will save batteries.

Note: The antenna included with the R-1 is the screw-in

type (part #JRPA160). When in use, be sure the
antenna is screwed in firmly, and the antenna is
extended fully.

Installing the Batteries

D.S.C. (Direct Servo Contro l )

The R-1 transmitter requires 8 AA batteries (not included).
To install the batteries, remove the battery door on the bot­tom of the transmitter and install the batteries such that the
coil spring in the battery holder contacts the negative (flat)
side of the battery. Alkalines will provide power for approxi­mately 7 hours of use. An optional rechargeable Ni-Cad bat­tery pack is also available separately
(part #JRPB9280).

CAUTION! When charging Ni-Cads in the R-1, note

that the charge jack is center pin negative (see
diagram below). Be sure to use a JR charger or
verify that the charger you’re using is center pin
negative before charging. Typical slow charge
rates are 50mA for 12 hours, while most Sanyo
brand AAs can be charged at up to 1 amp. Be
sure to use a reliable peak charger if you’re fast
charging your transmitter and remember the cen­ter pin is negative!

The R-1 features a D.S.C. function that allows the operation of
the servos/speed controller without transmitting a signal. This
allows testing and adjustment of the radio/speed controller
without affecting others that may be on the same frequency.

Note: An optional D.S.C. cord (part # JRPA134) is

required to operate the D.S.C. function.

To operate, plug the male end of the D.S.C. cord into the
D.S.C. jack located under the panel on the front upper left of
the transmitter. The other radio connector end of the D.S.C.
cord is inserted in the battery slot in the receiver. Note: If
using a gas car, a Y harness will need to be used so the bat­tery and D.S.C. cord can both be installed in the battery slot
on the receiver (part #JRPA133).

6

Now turn on the speed controller switch (electric) or the
receiver’s power switch (gas) while leaving the transmitter’s
power switch turned off. If nothing happens, you may need
to charge the batteries in your car.

The servos/speed controller should work normally while no
transmission is taking pace.

Note: Only JR brand receivers are compatible with the

R-1’s D.S.C. function. After-market receivers will
not work with the D.S.C. function.

General Information About
Programming the R-1

The function of each of the five digital trims can be
programmed to one of the seven following functions: steer­ing trim, steering dual rate, throttle trim, panic brake,
channel 3, A.B.S. swing, A.B.S. point.

Beeping Confirmation

A beeping sound will be heard when inputting, verifying the
input is valid.

Two-Speed Scrolling

All the keys (except the clear key) feature two-speed scrolling.
Holding the key down for more than 3 seconds will automati­cally switch from low to high speed scrolling, which is helpful
when making large value changes in programming.

Contrast Adjustment of the Display

The contrast of the display can be adjusted by doing the fol­lowing:

1. Turn on the power switch

2. Hold down the SEL key

3. Now, while holding down the SEL key, press the + key to
darken the display or press the - key to make the display
lighter.

Digital Trims

There are five digital trims on the R-1 (see page 4 for loca­tions). Each digital trim is adjusted by pressing the trim but­ton in one of the two available directions.

Battery Alarm

When the battery voltage drops below 9.0 volts, BATT will
flash on the display and an alarm will sound five times.
When BATT appears on the screen, many of the
programming functions are disabled. Replace (AA) or
recharge (Ni-Cads) the batteries.

Warning Alarm

If the Drive Mode or Idle Up switch is in a different position
then when you last turned the radio off, an alarm will sound
warning of this condition and the display will indicate which
switch is at fault. Switching the offending switch to the
proper position will shut off the alarm and normal operation
is resumed. If this alarm function is not desired, it can be
turned off in Transmitter Mode function (page 25).

Back-Up Error

A built-in five year Lithium battery functions as battery back­up should the main battery fail (for example, if the transmit­ter was left on). This back-up battery will maintain all
programmed information. If 1 BACK UP ERROR appears on
the screen accompanied by an alarm sound, the Lithium
battery needs to be replaced and/or the unit needs repair.

1 BACK UP ERROR

Note: A beep will be heard with each step of trim adjust-

ment. When passing the center, a different sound­ing beep and a hesitation will occur, indicating
the center position. Also when the end of the trim
is reached, a different sounding (pitch) beep is
heard. Also note that the tone of the beep changes
from one extreme side of the trim to the other; this
change in tone allows you to know approximately
where the trim is set just by the relative tone of the
beep when a digital trimmer is adjusted.

Digital trim positions are automatically stored in memory
when switching from one model to the next.

Return the transmitter to the following address for lithium
battery replacement and repair:

Horizon Service Center

4105 Fieldstone Road
Champaign, IL 61821
217/355-9511

Fortunately, the Lithium battery conservatively lasts a good
five years, and by then it’s a good idea to have your radio
returned and checked out by our service technicians.

the Mode List screens.

Buzz Tone

Selecting buzz tone allows you to vary the pitch of the
buzzer. 20 levels are available, and 0 is the factory default
setting.

Aux.3 is inhibited, the third channel’s output is fixed at neu­tral, allowing channel 3 to be used as a slave with program­mable mixing. This is useful for dual steering servos or dual
throttles.

Warning

The warning switch can be turn on or off. With the warning
switch in the on position, if the transmitter is turned off and
the drive mode or idle up switch have been changed since
the transmitter was last turned off, an alarm will sound and
the screen will display the switch at fault. Turn the switch to
the opposite position to stop the alarm.

D.T. Display

The Digital Trim Display can be turned on or off. In the on
position, a graph is displayed on the info screen, visually
showing the trim positions.

Dual Rate/Exponential

Two steering rates and exponential rates can be
programmed and selected with the drive mode switch locat­ed at the bottom left side of the wheel. The amount of steer­ing rate is adjustable from 0–100%. Exponential is also
adjustable from 0 (linear) –100% in each switch position.

Dual Rate affects the total steering servo throw (both sides,
right and left) simultaneously, so reducing the dual rate
value makes the car less sensitive (twitchy) around neutral
and also reduces the maximum amount of steering
available.

Exponential allows you to tailor the response rate of the
steering control around neutral without affecting maximum
steering. Normally expo is used to settle down a car that’s
twitchy around center without giving up maximum steering
response. The R-1 allows both a positive (normal) and neg­ative (increases sensitivity at neutral) exponential value.

In Function Mode, access the Dual Rate/Exponential func­tion by moving the cursor to D/R & EXP and pressing the
MODE LIST key.

Adjusting Dual Rates

Dual rate values are changed by using the digital trim that is pre-programmed at the factory on the lower grip digital trim button
(grip dial B). Be sure to move the Drive Mode switch in the desired position before adjusting the dual rate (position 0 or 1).

Note: If the steering dual rate is not programmed to a digital trimmer, use the PAGE key to move the cursor to the D/R posi-

tion and adjust the values with the + or - keys.

Note: If only one dual rate is desired, program both switch positions to the same value.

To adjust expo, use the PAGE key to move the cursor to the expo and press the + or - key. Don’t forget to move the drive switch
in the desired position.

Advanced Braking
System (A.B.S.)

The R-1 features the most advanced braking system
available! A.B.S. works as a pulse brake, allowing greater
stability and control during hard braking. The pulse width
(“on” time versus “off” time) is called pattern, the pulse
height (how hard the brakes pulse) is called swing, the brak­ing point where A.B.S. actually begins is called start. A delay
can be programmed so that regular braking occurs first, then

at a pre-set delay A.B.S. braking begins. Steering mixing is

Swing

The swing adjustment affects how far (hard) the brakes trav­el during each pulse. This is the amplitude or strength of the
pulse. Note: Regardless of any other A.B.S. brake setting, if

the swing value is set to 0, A.B.S. will be off (no pulse).
When first trying swing, adjustments of approximately 60
are a good starting point.

33

Pattern

The pattern can be thought of as frequency, or how fast the
pulses occur and the on time (brakes applied) versus off
time (brakes off) during each pulse. Nine patterns are avail­able (see above). Setting #1 is the fastest setting available
with an on time of 50%. Note: The graph on the transmitter
display shows the pattern. It visually gives the relative pulse
rate and on versus off time.

Delay

With delay set at INH, A.B.S. braking begins immediately
whenever brakes are applied on the throttle stick.
Programming a delay value will allow standard proportional
braking to take place for the pre-selected delay time. Then if
the brakes are still applied, A.B.S. braking will occur.

If you’d like to see how this works, program a large value
(near 100%) and watch what happens to the throttle servo

as you apply brakes. Normally a value of 8 to 20 is used to
give maximum initial braking before going into A.B.S. If
your car spins out under heavy braking, your setting here

may be too high.

Steering Mix

The steering mix feature is used to add A.B.S. braking when

going into turns. Steering mix increases the swing range

proportionately as steering input is given. Braking during
cornering, your car is more likely to lose traction. With
steering mix properly adjusted, harder braking can be
achieved in the turns with complete control. Note: This fea-

ture also allows A.B.S. to be decreased (not used in most
cases) as the steering wheel is turned by selecting a nega-

tive value here. Press the CLR key to turn off this function.

Switch

A.B.S. can be always left on (select ON), turned on/off with

the Drive Mode switch (select DR.MODE) or with the Idle Up

switch (select IDLE UP). Note: When A.B.S. is on, A.B.S.

will flash on the normal screen.

Idle Up

The idle up function is normally used to advance the throttle
position slightly, making it easier to start gas cars. When
turned on, the throttle servo will offset to the pre­programmed position, and “on” will appear on the right side
of the idle up screen.

timer can be started with the lap timer button or automatically
when the throttle is pressed. An alarm can be preset to go off
at a preselected time (usually set to the length of the race to
check run time during practice). A pre-timer (or navi timer)
can be preset to a quick lap time. An alarm will then sound
at each interval, and judging the relative position on the
track, the driver can determine his relative lap time.

Down Timer

The down timer counts down from a preset time (normally
the length of the race), then sounds an alarm. This timer
function is used for checking run time. The countdown timer
can be started with the lap button or automatically when the

throttle is pressed.

Before lap timer can be
started, any time must be
cleared on this screen.

Note: Lap timer will be displaying on the main info

screen when activated. Also, when lap timer is
activated and you’re in the normal display screen,
you can pause the lap timer by pressing the PAGE
key. To clear any of the lap times, you must first
“un-pause” the lap timer.

Note: A three-second lap is the quickest lap allowed.

This prevents accidently double pushing the but­ton when recording a lap time.

Integrated Timer

The integrated timer keeps track of the time the transmitter is
turned on, which is useful for determining how much battery
life is left. Press the PAGE key to access the above screen.
Also note that Integrated Timer is displayed on the normal
screen.

Warranty Information

Important Note: Be sure to keep your original, dated

sales receipt in a safe place as you will be required
to provide proof-of-purchase date for the
equipment to be serviced under warranty.

4. Include detailed information explaining your operation of
the system and problem(s) encountered. Provide an
itemized list of equipment enclosed and identify any particu­lar area/function which may better assist our technicians in
addressing your concerns. Date your correspondence, and
be sure your complete name and address appear on this
enclosure.

Warranty Coverage

Your new JR Remote Control Radio System is warranted to
the original purchaser against manufacturer defects in mate­rial and workmanship for 365 days from the date of
purchase. During this period, HORIZON SERVICE CENTER will
repair or replace, at our discretion, any component that is
found to be factory defective, at no cost to the purchaser.
This warranty is limited to the original purchaser of the unit
and is not transferable.

This warranty does not apply to any unit which has been
improperly installed, mishandled, abused, or damaged in a
crash, or to any unit which has been repaired or altered by
any unauthorized agencies. Under no circumstances will the
buyer be entitled to consequential or incidental damages.
This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights; you
also have other rights which may vary from state to state. As
with all fine electronic equipment, do not subject your radio
system to extreme temperatures, humidity or moisture. Do
not leave it in direct sunlight for long periods of time.

Repair Service Directions

In the event that your JR radio needs service, please follow
the instructions listed below:

5. Include your name, mailing address, and a phone number
where you can be reached during the business day.

6. Warranty Repairs. To receive warranty service, you must
include your original, dated sales receipt to verify your
proof-of-purchase date. Providing that warranty conditions
have been met, your radio will be repaired without charge.

7. Normal Non-Warranty Repairs. Should your repair cost
exceed 50% of the retail purchase cost, you will be provided
with an estimate advising you of your options.

Within your letter, advise us of the payment method you
prefer to use. HORIZON SERVICE CENTER accepts VISA or

speed the repair process of checking battery condition.

2. Return your system components only (transmitter, receiver,
servos, etc.) Do not return your system installed in a model
a i r c r a f t .

3. Preferably, use the original carton/packaging (molded
foam container), or equivalent, to ship your system. Do not
use the system carton itself as a shipping carton. You
should package the system carton within a sturdy shipping
container using additional packing material to safeguard
against damage during transit. Include complete name and
address information inside the carton, as well as clearly writ­ing it on the outer label/return address area.
