How to turn ON/OFF the power of the
transmitter
Windows ® CE is installed as a built-in operating
system in the T18MZ transmitter. Compared to the
conventional system, the T18MZ takes extra time
for internal processing when it is turned on/off.
When turning on the power of the transmitter
1. Place the throttle stick below 1/3 closed.
2. Turn on the power switch.
*After initialization of the transmitter is complete, the LED
monitor turns Purple.
*If your throttle stick is not at 1/3 closed or fully closed, a
warning will sound. If you move the throttle to 1/3 closed
or fully closed, the warning will stop and will become a
"Transmit ?" screen.
*If you push the button "NO", then the transmitter will not
emit radio waves.
*If you push the button "Yes", then the transmitter will emit
radio waves..
*If a battery is removed and it re-connects, please switch on a
power supply, after 3 seconds or more pass.
Start-up time;
The time required to initialize the internal circuit
of the transmitter varies between the previous time
you turned the power off and then restarted the
transmitter. There are two “start up” modes for your
transmitter, see below:
Cold start;
If you turn on the transmitter more than four
hours after you last turned it off, the mode is “Cold
start”. “Cold start” is normal for the first initial
power up of the day. It will take about 30 seconds
to be ready for use, as it takes time to initialize the
internal circuit of the transmitter.
Hot start;
If you turn on the transmitter less than four hours
after you last turned it off, the mode is “Hot start”.
Since initialization has been partly completed, the
transmitter will be ready to use in several seconds.
“Hot start” takes place usually at a second flight or
later flight in the day.
Warning
Once you turn on the power, never shut off the
power switch until the power becomes stable (or
until the first screen shows up). If you turn off
the power switch while the transmitter is going
through the initialization process, the data could
be damaged. Note: The start-up time may be a
little bit slower when the SD card is installed
compared to when the card is not.
How to stop the transmitter
Turn off the power switch of the transmitter. The
internal circuit of the transmitter starts the shut
down process including saving the set-up data.
Once you turn off the power, never operate the
power switch until the power shutdown process
is fully completed. If you turn on the power
switch again while the transmitter is still in the
process of power shutdown, the data could be
damaged.
As the internal circuit of the transmitter
stays on the standby mode for 4 hours after turning
