Note: When the voltage reaches 4.8 volts or less, the screen will flash indicating low voltage.
Press the button to display the following information:
A - Antenna fades on the internal antenna
B – Not used
L – Antenna fades on the external antenna
R – Not used
F - Frame loss
H - Holds
Antenna fades—represents the loss of a bit of information on that specific antenna.
Typically it’s normal to have as many as 50 to 100 antenna fades during a flight. If any single
antenna experiences over 500 fades in a single flight, the antenna should be repositioned in the
aircraft to optimize the RF link.
Frame loss—represents simultaneous antenna fades on all attached receivers. If the RF link
is performing optimally, frame losses per flight should be less than 20. A hold occurs when 45
consecutive frame losses occur. This takes about one second. If a hold occurs during a flight, it’s
important to evaluate the system, moving the antennas to different locations and/or checking to
be sure the transmitter and receivers are all working correctly.
Note: A servo extension can be used to allow the Flight Log to be plugged in more
conveniently. On some models, the Flight Log can be plugged in, attached and left on
the model using double-sided tape. Mounting the Flight Log conveniently to the side
frame is common with helicopters.
ModelMatch
Some Spektrum and JR transmitters offer a patent pending feature called ModelMatch.
ModelMatch prevents the possibility of operating a model using the wrong model memory,
potentially preventing a crash. With ModelMatch each model memory has its own unique code
(GUID) and during the binding process the code is programmed into the receiver. Later, when
the system is turned on, the receiver will only connect to the transmitter if the corresponding
model memory is programmed on screen.
Note: If at any time you turn on the system and it fails to connect, check to be sure the
correct model memory is selected in the transmitter. Please note that the Spektrum
Aircraft Modules do not have ModelMatch.
