MODEL Model select function
To select model memory:
To select model memory:
1. Access the Model Select function in the programming mode (by pressing the MODE and
SELECT keys simultaneously and holding them down for one second). The number for the
current, active model will be blinking.
2. To activate a different model memory press the DATA INPUT lever for a half second until the
desired model number appears.
3. Now the model has been selected. All programming inputs from this point forward will affect
only the model number on the screen (until another model number is selected).
CL Data reset function CL Data reset function
All the data for any model memory can be reset to the original factory defaults. Often this function is done to get a
“ fresh start ”
and clear the memory before inputting new model settings.
To reset data:
To reset data:
1. Access the Model Select function in the programming mode (by pressing the MODE and
SELECT keys simultaneously and holding them down for one second). Use the DATA INPUT
lever to select the model memory you wish to reset.
2. Once the desired model number is displayed on the screen, press the SELECT key. A ““ CL CL ”” will
appear on the screen.
3. Push DATA INPUT upward or downward for about one second to clear and reset the memory.
“ CL ” blinks first, and then it stops blinking with a sound. Now the model data is reset to the
initial setting that is the default value set at the factory.
CAUTION: CAUTION: Resetting the current model memory will permanently erase ALL ALL programming information for that model. The
data cannot be recovered (unless you recorded it on a Model Data Recording Sheet in the back of this manual). Do not reset
the model unless certainly certainly you want flushing-out that memory and start from scratch.
When actually setting up a model you should have the model in front of you with the power on so you can actually see the
effects of your programming inputs and measure the control throws.
REVERSE Servo Reversing REVERSE Servo Reversing
The servo reversing function is used to change the direction that a servo responds to a control input from the transmitter
(stick). After using the reversing function, check all all the controls on the model to be certain be certain they are operating in the correct
direction and that you did not inadvertently reverse a servo other than the one intended. Reversing the wrong servo (and not
checking the response of the controls before each flight) may be the most common cause of a crash!
To reverse a servo: To reverse a servo:
1. Enter the programming mode and use the MODE key to access the REVERSE REVERSE function.
2. Use the SELECT key to select the channel you wish to reverse.
3. Push the DATA INPUT lever downward to reverse the servo (REV), or push the lever upward
to make the servo operate normally (NOR) for a half second. The arrow will indicate the
condition of the servo (normal or reversed). In the diagram channel 1 (aileron) is “ normal ”
(not reversed).
4. Use the SELECT key to display other channels to be reversed.
