The Timer Menu controls an electronic clock that may be used to keep track of time
remaining in a competition task window, flying time on a full tank of fuel, amount of time on
a battery, etc. The timer’s settings may be set independently for each model, and is
automatically updated each time the model is changed. The timer can be set to count up to
59 minutes 59 seconds.
You may choose either a count-down or count-up timer mode. When the timer switch is
turned on, the down timer starts from the chosen time and displays the amount of time
remaining. If the timer exceeds the time setting, it continues to count and displays a minus
sign (–) in front of the numbers. The count up timer starts at 0 and displays the elapsed time.
In either timer mode, the timer beeps once each minute. During the last ten seconds, there’s
a beep each second.
The timer screen can be easily displayed or cleared by pressing the key at the
startup screen when the transmitter power is turned on. The timer is started by the plus (+)
key and stopped by the (–) key. When the
"+" and "–" keys are pressed
simultaneously, the timer is reset. If the keys (+ and –) are pressed
simultaneously after the timer is started, the timer is reset, but continues to count up or down.
The starting and stopping switches may be chosen among any of Switch A — Switch H,
activated by the throttle stick (STK-3) or activated by the power switch (POWER SW). The
ON and OFF directions can also be freely selected except the power switch. Using the
throttle stick is particularly convenient if you’re keeping track of fuel remaining, or for an
electric, how much battery is left. Regardless of which switch is chosen, the timer can also
