10. The basic operating philosophy
The ROYALevo features a new, very simple operating
philosophy which is easy and fast to learn. Proven ele-
ments of the operating systems used in our other re-
nowned radio control systems are combined here. The
system is operated by means of a keypad, although one
or both 3-D digi-adjustors can be used optionally for
making adjustments and for navigating within the me-
nus.
10.1. The keypad
10.1.1. Direct menu access buttons (row 1)
The keypad consisting of these buttons is used for pro-
gramming or - more accurately - setting up the trans-
mitter.
The 6 buttons in the top row are known as the direct
menu access buttons. When you press one of the but-
tons you move directly to the corresponding one of the
six main menus, all of which contain appropriate sub-
menus. All these buttons are marked by a relevant sym-
bol:
L

H
TRANSMITTER CONTROLS
G
MIXER
K

A
TIMER
I
MEMORY
10.1.2. Task buttons (row 2)
What we call the task buttons are required for a wide
variety of operations. The way they work varies accord-
ing to what you are doing. The table below shows the
function.

10.1.3. Text input
For some programming procedures it is necessary to
input text. For example, this is required when entering a
model name (model memory), the user’s name, or the
name of a freely definable mixer. The text is entered
using the keypad (using the method commonly adop-
ted with mobile telephones) and a 3-D digi-adjustor.
The keypad is used to select the letters and other sym-
bols. The symbols which can be called up by pressing a
button rapidly and repeatedly are printed in small let-
ters below each of the direct menu access buttons (row
1) and above the task buttons (row 2):
If you enter a letter at the start of a text input process, or
after a space symbol, the software automatically ren-
ders it as a capital letter, and subsequent letters auto-
matically as lower-case letters. If you wish to enter a
series of capitals, “leaf” through the lower-case letters,
and you will find the capital letters thereafter. When you
make a selection, the cursor moves automatically to the
next position. One of the two 3-D digi-adjustors can be
rotated to move the input cursor manually to any posi-
tion, forward or back.
Press the “ENTER” button to end the text entry process.
You now see the following query:
“Clear rest of line? Yes -> (REV/CLR), No -> ENTER”
• Pressing the (REV/CLR) button erases all characters
following the last position of the cursor
• Pressing “ENTER” leaves the content unchanged.
Enter special characters
Some of the keys have hidden characters, not printed
on the transmitter case.
