FUTABA FP-7UAF - Before Using the System; Battery Charging Procedure; Transmitter Modulation Settings; Battery Pack Replacement

• BEFORE USING
• Charging the transmitter and receiver Nicd battery
*Use the special Futaba charger.
• The charging time is 15 hours.
[However when the battery was
not used for some time, charge and
discharge it 2 — 3 times. Otherwise,
the battery will not be charged even
after the specified charging time !
• Factory setting of transmitter modulation system
The transmitter modulation system (PCM/PPM mode) is switched by
data setting. (For the setting method, see P19.). However, it is set as
follows at the factory:
FP-T7UAP ..... PCM mode FP-T7UAF ..... PPM mode
A fully-charged transmitter battery
can be used for about 10 flights of
10 minutes each. The airborne NR-
4J Nicd battery pack can be used
for about 6 flights when 6 servos
are used.
