EXZES ZZ
2.4GHZ FH4T RADIO CONTROL SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE
Telemetry System with Sanwa Synchronized Link Support
The EXZES ZZ transmitter's Operating Voltage Range is 4.0 to 9.6 volts and has a Nominal Input Voltage range of 4.8 to 7.4 volts.
This allows you to use several different battery options other than Li-Fe, depending on your preference.
Ni-Cd/Ni-MH - A Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery pack of desired capacity can be used. Higher capacity battery packs will provide
adequate run time. This is not considered an upgrade from the included Li-Fe battery pack.
Li-Po - A 2S Li-Po battery pack can be used. These battery packs are popular due to their light weight and high capacity for long
usage time between charges. This is an upgrade from the included Li-Fe battery pack and will also require a different charger.
Transmitter power output, range and speed are the same, regardless of the battery type used. If using a different battery
type other than the Li-Fe battery pack included, please see the IMPORTANT note below.
TRANSMITTER BATTERY OPTIONS GENERAL
1) Remove the battery cover from the bottom of the transmitter by pushing firmly on the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.
2) Plug the connector from the battery pack into the matching connector inside the battery compartment.
3) Place the battery pack into the battery compartment, then slide the battery cover back onto the transmitter and push it firmly
until it 'clicks' closed. Be careful not to pinch the battery lead when installing the battery cover.

Audible Warning Alarms
Low Voltage Alert Alarm:
The Low Voltage Alert alarm will sound when the transmitter batteries reach the Low Voltage Alert alarm voltage value
programmedintheSYSTEM>BATTERYmenu.Thealarmwillsoundeachtimethetransmitterbatteryvoltagedecreasesby0.1
volt.Toclearthisalarm,presstheBACKkeyortheENTERkey.
Low Voltage Limit Alarm:
The Low Voltage Limit alarm will sound when the transmitter batteries reach the Low Voltage Limit alarm voltage value
programmedintheSYSTEM>BATTERYmenu.ThisalarmcanonlybeclearedbyturningthetransmitterOFFandrechargingor
replacing the transmitter batteries.
TRANSMITTER LED CONDITION INDICATORS AND WARNING ALARMS GENERAL
IMPORTANT: If you're using a battery pack with a cell type that is different from the Li-Fe battery pack included, you must
change the transmitter battery Low Voltage Alert and Low Voltage Limit alarms to match the battery cell type you're using or
else you may receive erroneous low voltage alarms during use, or worse run your battery down so low as to damage it. For
more information, see the BATT Menu section on pages 48 through 50.
GENERAL
The EXZES ZZ uses a 2S 6.6V 1850mAh Li-Fe battery pack for lighter weight and longer run time. A matching 7.3V 500mAh AC
charger is included to charge the battery pack. Please observe the Transmitter Battery Precautions and Warnings below before
charging and installing the battery pack.
Transmitter Battery Precautions and Warnings:
• Donotusea 3S Li-Po or 3S Li-Fe battery pack or the transmitter will be damaged.
• TheEXZESZZdoesnotfeatureachargejack.ForthesafetyofboththeLi-Febatterypackandthetransmitteritself,the
battery pack must be removed from the transmitter during the charging process.
•Chargethebatterypackinanopenareafreeofanyobstructions.Donotattempttochargeanyothertypeofbattery
with the included charger.
•Donotleavethebatterypackunattendedduringthechargingprocess.
• Ifthebatterypackappearsswollenorotherwisedamaged,donotuseitorchargeit.Itshouldbediscardedandreplaced.
• Damagetothetransmittercausedbyimproperuse,wrongbatterytype,incorrectvoltageorreversepolarity
will not be covered under warranty!
Charging the Li-Fe Battery:
1) Plug the charger into an AC wall outlet or power strip. The Status LED will illuminate red.
2) Plug the connector from the battery into the matching connector on the charger, observing correct polarity. The Status LED
will illuminate green, indicating the battery is charging.
3) Allow the battery to charge. When fully charged, the Status LED will illuminate red. Remove the battery from the charger, then
unplug the charger from its power source.
The charger's output is 500mA. Depending on how discharged the battery pack is, it could take up to 3.5 hours to fully charge.
