GLOSSARY OF TERMS REFERENCE
Audible Key Tone: An audible tone that is emitted from the transmitter to provide an audible indication each time the ENTER,
UP, DOWN or BACK keys and Trim Switches are pressed.
Auxiliary Switch: The transmitter features three separate Auxiliary Switches (Sw1, Sw2 and Sw3). Each Auxiliary Switch is
programmable and will perform a different function depending on what function is assigned to it. Auxiliary Switch (Sw1) is a
push-button switch, Auxiliary Switch (Sw2) is a 2-position sliding switch and Auxiliary Switch (Sw3) is a 3-position sliding switch.
Auxiliary Mixing: Allows you to Mix either Steering or Throttle to Auxiliary 1 (Channel 3) or Auxiliary 2 (Channel 4), while
maintaining separate Sub-Trim, End Point Adjustments, Servo Reversing and other channel-specific settings. The Auxiliary Mixing
function is used when a custom Mix is necessary.
BACK Key: Pressing the BACK Key returns the Programming Cursor to the previous menu. Press and HOLD the BACK Key to
return to the STATUS screen.
Battery Compartment: Houses the four 'AA' Alkaline cells that power the transmitter. Alternatively, the transmitter can be
powered using four 'AA' NiMH rechargeable batteries or a 2S LiPo or 2S LiFe battery pack.
Binding: The act of pairing the transmitter and receiver to prevent interference from transmitters operated by other users.
Bind Button: Used in the process of Binding the transmitter and receiver.
Bind LED: Displays the current operating status of the receiver.
Brake Side: Refers to the Throttle Trigger stroke that Engages the Brakes on your Model (pushing the Throttle Trigger).
Burn: Used mostly in Rock Crawling and in conjunction with the Motor on Axle function, power to the Front motor is reduced or
turned OFF while keeping full control of the Rear motor.
Car Type Templates: Allows you to quickly set up transmitter options based on the type of model you're driving. Common
templates for Car or Truck and Crawler Car Types are provided.
Channel Response Mode: Used to change the Response Mode of each channel to suit the type of servos you're using.
CODE Auxiliary: The CODE Auxiliary function is used with SSL-compatible accessories, such as a Super Vortex series ESC,
whose Programming Parameters can be changed directly via the transmitter.
Countdown Timer: This timer is used to notify you of your model’s running time. For example, you can set the Countdown
Timer to alert you when it's time to refuel.
Crab Steering: Used with Four Wheel Steering, both Front and Rear wheels pivot right and left together. Also referred to as
Parallel Steering.
Cycle: The Cycle value determines the speed at which the Brake pulsates in Seconds when the Anti-Lock Braking function is Active.
Dig: Used mostly in Rock Crawling and in conjunction with the Motor on Axle function, power to the Rear motor is reduced or
turned OFF while keeping full control of the Front motor.
Digital Trim Memory: Allows the transmitter to store Trim values in its memory. Any amount of Trim that you set during use
using the Trim Switches is automatically stored in memory for that specific channel and for that specific model. The Trim values
for each model will automatically be loaded when the transmitter is turned ON.
Digital Voltage Indicator: Indicates the current Voltage of the transmitter batteries.
Direct Model: Allows you to jump directly to the DIRECT MODEL menu when you turn the transmitter ON. This menu works the
same as the MODEL SELECT menu and makes it much quicker to select your desired model.
DOWN Key: Pressing the DOWN Key scrollsbetweentheSTATUSandTELEMETRYscreens,scrollstheProgrammingCursor
DOWN or LEFT and Decreases Programming Values.
Dual Rate: Allows you to change the control authority of the Steering, Throttle High Side and Throttle Brake Side by changing
the amount of servo travel relative to control input.
End Point Adjustment: Used to adjust the desired amount of servo travel in both directions independently. This makes it
possible to balance servo travel in both directions.
ENTER Key: Pressing the ENTER Key opens the selected menu or Programming Option. Press and HOLD to reset the selected
Programming Option to its default value.
Fail Safe: Automatically moves the servos to a predetermined position in the event that the signal between the transmitter and
the receiver is interrupted, whether due to signal degradation or low transmitter battery.
FH3 Modulation: Frequency Hopping 3rd generation FHSS technology. FH3 Modulation is used in newer-generation Airtronics
and Sanwa radio control systems, such as the M11X and MX-3X.
FH4T Modulation: Frequency Hopping 4th generation FHSS technology. FH4T Modulation is the latest Airtronics and
Sanwa 2.4GHz frequency modulation that supports Telemetry.
FHSS: Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum. FHSS is a Modulation Type which transmits data across the entire frequency
spectrum by transmitting data on different channels at an extremely fast interval.
