2.4GHz Radio Control System
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Thank you for making the Tactic TTX240 2.4GHz system
your choice for radio control! This system uses modern
2.4GHz Spread Spectrum technology – an innovation that
allows for automatic channel selection and interferencefree control of R/C models.
It is strongly recommended to completely
read this manual before use! Damage
resulting from misuse or modifi cation
will void your warranty.

● 2.4GHz Spread Spectrum Technology
● Transmitter can bind to multiple receivers
● Tiny, lightweight receiver with internal antenna
● Built-in fail-safe
● Steering and throttle trim dials
● Steering and throttle servo reversing
● Steering rate adjustment
● Power LED with low battery warning indication

The transmitter (Tx) requires 4 “AA”
batteries. Non-rechargeable alkaline or
rechargeable nickel-cadmium (NiCd)
or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) cells
can be used. Do not mix old and new
cells, or mix non-rechargeable alkaline
cells with rechargeable NiCd or NiMH
cells, etc. See the SERVOS AND
ACCESSORIES section at the end of
this manual for optional rechargeable
NiCd and NiMH batteries and chargers.
Note the TTX240 transmitter does not
include a charge jack for rechargeable
cells. A separate “AA” cell charger will
Figure 1
be necessary.
To install the batteries, slide open the battery door on the bottom of the Tx
(see fi gure 1). Install the batteries in the holder as shown in the diagram (see
marks molded inside the case). Make sure to note the proper polarities on
each cell. Close the battery door.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate an R/C model with weak
batteries as it could result in reduced range and/or
possible loss of control!

Press the power switch to turn the Tx
on (see fi gure 2). The “POWER” LED
should illuminate. If not, turn off the Tx
and check the batteries to make sure
each cell is fi rmly in place and in the
proper direction. If the Tx LED blinks,
the batteries are low on power and
should be replaced.
When operating the model, carefully
rotate the Tx antenna so that it’s always
locked in the full upright position.

BIND THE RECEIVER TO THE TRANSMITTER
For proper installation and operation of the 2.4GHz transmitter and receiver
system, it is necessary to “bind” them together electronically. This ensures
sole communication between the two and prevents other transmitters from
being able to control the receiver. To bind the Tx and Rx:
1. Turn on the transmitter.
2. Apply power to the receiver (see the INSTALLATION section that follows
for how to do this).
3. If the receiver’s LED fl ashes once and then stays on, the Rx is already
bound to the Tx and you can skip to the next section. Otherwise, push
and hold the receiver’s “BIND” button until its LED glows red and then
turns off after about one second.
4. Release the bind button.
5. If the binding is successful, the LED will fl ash once and then remain ON.
6. Test for proper Tx / Rx functionality by completing the next section. If it
doesn’t seem the radio has bound properly, repeat steps 1-6 above.
INSTALLATION
Receiver: Mount the receiver
as specifi ed in your model’s
instructions. As a guideline,
mount in a secure location
using double-sided tape. Route
the servo wires so they do not
interfere with any moving parts.
For boat applications, it’s highly
recommended to wrap the
receiver in a balloon or enclose it
in a water-tight box.

Servos: See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section at the end of this
manual for a full list of optional servos. CENTER THE TRIM DIALS on the Tx.
Mount the servos inside the model and connect the linkages to the servo using
an appropriate length servo arm. Make sure all mechanical linkages are free
of obstructions and can move smoothly. Connect the servos to the receiver as
shown in Figure 3. Turn the transmitter’s trim dials to fi nely adjust the servo’s
center point as needed to match the installation.
Electronic Speed Control (ESC): If using an electronic speed control, connect
it to channel 2 of the receiver (throttle). Center the transmitter’s throttle trim
and follow the ESC instructions for programming.
