When the transmitter is initially initially turned on, the model memory number model memory number,
model memory name model memory name, modulation type modulation type and transmitter battery transmitter battery
voltage voltage are displayed on the LCD screen. When prompted by the user,
the functions and settings stored in the memory can also be read on the
screen. The user accesses the different functions using the MODE and
SELECT keys and changes the values and settings using the DATA
INPUT lever. (This is called programming!)
Note: Note: Feel free to explore by scrolling through the programs and viewing the displays using the MODE and SELECT keys.
The MODE and SELECT keys only determine what will be displayed on the screen and will not change any of the
settings. Only when using the DATA INPUT lever will you be able to change any of the settings.
Note: Note: Charging your batteries with the included Futaba A/C battery charger is always safe. However, fast-charging with an
aftermarket charger is acceptable as long as you know how to properly operate the charger. NEVER
NEVER charge at a rate
higher than 1,000 mAh (1 Amp). If not done correctly, fast-charging can damage the batteries.
called “memory.” If, for example, only two flights are made each time you go flying, the batteries will not have “reached”
very far down into their full capacity. After doing this several times the batteries will “remember” and eventually “think”
they can supply only enough power for two flights. After two flights the batteries may not provide enough power to
operate the system, thus causing a crash. To erase any potential memory, cycle the batteries by discharging, then
charging them with a commercial battery cycler, or leave the system on and exercise the servos by moving the
transmitter sticks until the servos are moving very slowly, indicating that the battery is discharged. Cycling should be done
every one to two months, even during the winter or periods of long storage. If using a cycler with a readout, note the
capacity after the batteries have been cycled. If there is a noticeable drop in capacity the batteries should be replaced.
