Tips for using the Joystick
- Batteries should last about 2 hours.
- Don’t let the batteries get too low, or you may have to re-synch the Cortex & Joystick
- Joystick can be left off when tethered to Cortex using the USB A-A cable.
- If things get too messed up, press and hold the “config” button until the LEDs flash, then turn off the Joystick. Connect it to the Cortex using the USB A-A cable, then turn on the Cortex (only) and wait for the units to re-synch.

Below are some helpful suggestions and links to resources for the Cortex
- Split the motors between outputs 1-5 and 6-10 to avoid internal fuse problems
- Connect only one motor to each of the speed control channels (1 and 10). Connecting two motors to a single channel may cause problems.
- The keyed edge of servo connector (white wire) goes towards center of Cortex.
- Leave the battery adapter installed; disconnect at the powerpole connector.
- Connect the 9V backup battery to avoid losing the synch with the Joystick and/or programming when the main battery voltage gets too low. Turning the unit off under good main battery conditions does not cause a loss of synch or programming.
