This screen appears at startup. The model memory number is
shown
by the small down-arrow. Battery voltage is shown in
the
bottom left, and operating time is on the lower right.
You can reset the operating time display by hitting the Clear
button (the one on the farthest right). Do this after each charge
to
keep track of your operating time on a single charge.
Pressing the Lock button locks the throttle servo and holds it
where
you last commanded it. This is a safety feature to be
used
when you are carrying the model and transmitter to
ensure
you don't accidentally give throttle. The LOCK indicator
shows
when the Lock switch has been engaged.

Pressing the Up button gives the Trim display (different
numbers
may appear depending on the model type). To see
where
the trim for a certain channel is, you have to move it!
Be sure to move it back to where it was. Note that the CH3 trim
only
moves downward, so if you need more engine RPM, set
up
idle with the trim at -25% so you can increase it if needed.
Warning Displays
The LOW BATTERY warning is displayed when the transmitter
battery
voltage drops below 9.3 volts, and a beeper sounds.
The
operating time is still shown on the right. If you reset this
each
time you charge the system, you will have a good idea of
how
long you can safely operate.
WHEN THE BEEPER SOUNDS, LAND YOUR MODEL AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LOSS OF CONTROL DUE
TO A DEAD TRANSMITTER BATTERY.
Pressing the Up button again gives the Model Name display.
If
you've named your model, it will appear here so you can be
sure you have recalled the correct memory. If you do not name
the
model, you'll have to remember which model memory it's
stored
within by the memory number.
The IDLE ON warning is displayed when the transmitter is
powered
up with the Idle switch on in the helicopter mode only.
You
can turn this off by moving the Flt. Mode (SW-4) switch
FORWARD.
For your safety, the transmitter will not broadcast
until
this alarm is ended
Pressing the Right button gives the Timer display, with a
stopwatch
display on the left, and operating time on the right.
This
also starts the timer, so hit the Right key again to stop it.
Hitting
the Cursor Left (Off) button resets the timer.
The HOLD ON warning is displayed when the transmitter is
powered
up with the Throttle hold switch (SW-1) on in the
helicopter
mode only. You can turn this off by moving the
SW-1 switch AFT (ELEV RUDD D/R switch). If you then get
the IDLE ON alarm (see above), you must move the Flt. Mode
switch fully FORWARD. For your safety, the transmitter
will
not broadcast until this alarm is ended.
