Enabled
When Enabled is set to NO, Data Logging is turned off.
Select YES to save Telemetry data to the SD Card. The SD Card
must be installed in the transmitter to select YES.
CAUTION: If you access the Telemetry menu from the
Function List, you may see a Frame Loss appear when you
exit the menu. The Frame Loss is not an error, but there will be a
momentary loss of radio signal when exiting the Telemetry screen.
DO NOT access the Telemetry menu during fl ight.
Frame Rate
The Frame Rate menu
enables you to change
the frame rate and
modulation mode. Select
the option you wish to
change and press the
scroll wheel.
You must use digital servos if you select 11ms frame rate. Analog
and digital servos can be used with a 22ms frame rate.
Modulation Mode
We recommend using DSMX (default) modulation mode. When
DSMX is active, the transmitter operates in DSMX with DSMX
receivers and DSM2 with DSM2 receivers. The transmitter
automatically detects DSM2 or DSMX during binding and changes
the mode accordingly to match the receiver type you are using.
If you select DSM2, the transmitter operates in DSM2 regardless of
whether it is bound to a DSM2 or DSMX receiver.
NOTICE: While DSMX allows you to use more than 40
transmitters simultaneously, do not use more than 40
transmitters simultaneously when using a DSM2 receiver
or a transmitter in DSM2 mode.
Bind Progress
The Bind Progress menu
enables you to activate
or inhibit voice alerts for
the binding process. The
alerts are set to Voice by
default.
This menu is accessed by selecting NEXT in the Frame Rate menu.
To activate or inhibit bind voice alerts:
1. Select the alert you wish to change.
2. Press the scroll wheel to change the value.
3. Select BACK to save the selections.
Bind
The Bind menu enables you to bind a transmitter and receiver
without powering off the transmitter. This menu is helpful if you are
programming a model and need to bind the receiver for failsafe
positions.
See “Programming Failsafe Positions” for more information.
Prefl ight Setup
The Prefl ight Setup menu option enables you to program a pre-fl ight
checklist that appears each time you power on the transmitter or
when you select a new model memory. Each item on the list must be
confi rmed before you can access the Main Screen.
