<Model Basic Setting Procedure>

1. Model addition and call

Default setting assigns 1 model to the FX-40. To

add new models or to call a model already set, use the
Model Select function of the Linkage Menu.

This is convenient when calling a model after

registering the model names in advance. (The data of
up to 30 models can be saved at the transmitter. Data
can also be saved to the accessory Data-Pack.)

The currently called model is displayed at the top

Please be aware that the transmitter will stop

transmitting when you change the model.

When a new model is added, the Model Type Select

screen and Frequency/Modulation mode/Receiver ID
setup screen automatically appear. Change, or check
that they match the type, frequency, and receiver type
of the model used.

2. Model type and swash type selection

When a separate model type is already selected,

select helicopter with the Model Type function of the
Linkage Menu, and then select the swash type matched
to the helicopter.

3. Flight condition addition

The transmitter can install up to eight flight

conditions per model. You can assign all switches
including sticks, switches, trim levers and trim switches
as flight-condition selection switches. You can also
add delayed mixing to these functions in order to
avoid sudden changes. Moreover, you can set priority

change names of conditions. This command may also
be used to define what switches and/or controls are
