Name
The Model Name function is used to create an alpha-numeric
name
which is stored in the model memory along with the rest
of
the model settings. You will find it useful to help keep track
of
multiple models that are stored in your Optic system.
The model name can be four alphabetic characters, along with
up
to three numbers, 0-199. The letters may be used to
abbreviate
the model's name, and the numbers may be used
for
the memory number, or you may wish to store that model's
channel
number so you can remember it easier.
Inputting a Model Name
10. Switch power back on. You may now set up the details of
your
model in the Edit mode.
Transmit Shift - SFT.N, SFT.P
The Transmit Shift function is used to change the shift
direction
of the Optic system. Hitec receivers use a negative
shift
direction for their transmissions. However, some other
brands
of RC gear use positive shifting. With this menu, you
can
change the way your transmitter broadcasts, so that it can
address
all types of PPM receivers. (PPM receivers are also
referred
to as "FM" receivers.) As shown later, the Optic FM is

to
a number that you like. This can be any number from 0 to

If you have lots of models with different frequencies,
you
may wish to input your channel number here.
If you choose the wrong shift direction for your receiver, the
servos may move erratically and will not respond to the
transmitter , even if it is on the correct frequency. Turn off
your receiver at once and change the shift direction to preclude
damage
to your servos.
If you use a mixture of receiver brands, sure that each model is
correctly
set for the model of receiver you are using in the
corresponding
model memory.

while
pressing both of the two Edit keys (the two keys on the
far
left). The model select ( M.SEL ) menu will be displayed.
2. Press the Up or Down Edit key until you get into the shift
menu.
You'll see either the word SFT.N or SFT.P , with the
last
character, N or P , flashing on and off. (If you're already
in
the setup menus, you can just press the Up or Down
arrow key to get here.)
