The HFP-30 is powered by a user provided 4.8VDC to 7.4VDC battery
pack plugged into the Batt/RX slot. Optionally, a receiver with the
correct adapter can power the unit.
Note: Make sure the battery voltage corresponds to the servos
being used. Do not use a 7.4V battery with a servo designed for
6V and under, or damage may occur to the servo.
Depending on the position of the Test/Program select switch, the
following screens will appear when powered on. Once powered on,
it is possible to toggle between the screens using the Test/Program
switch.
Main Programming Screen
Use the Adjust Dial to switch between the three dierent series of
servos. Once the correct one is highlighted, press the Adjust Dial to
enter.
