Wireless Trainer
Wireless Trainer works just like the Wired Trainer, without the
wire. Select Wireless Trainer to bind a DSM2 or DSMX slave
transmitter to the master transmitter. With this option, when the
master presses the trainer button or switch, control is given to
the currently bound slave transmitter. After binding, the slave
transmitter will remain bound to the master transmitter until a
different transmitter is bound to the master, or the slave transmitter
is bound to another receiver or a wireless master transmitter.
ModelMatch™ technology applies to the wireless trainer system;
the master transmitter will be bound to the slave in the bound
model used. Also if the slave transmitter has ModelMatch
technology, it will only be bound to the master transmitter in the
selected model during binding.
Inhibit
In Inhibit, the wireless
trainer function will be
inhibited and will not
function.
CAUTION: Select Inhibit in the Trainer menu when you are
not using the wireless trainer function. Failure to select Inhibit
may result in loss of control of the aircraft.
Programmable Master
Programmable mode
enables you to program
the master transmitter
to transfer any or all
individual channels
when you activate the
trainer switch. This mode
is ideal for beginners
learning to control individual channels while the master transmitter
maintains control of all other channels. The slave transmitter
should be in Inhibit mode, if available. The Master and Slave
transmitters MUST have the same programming.
Pilot Link Master
Pilot Link Master
enables you to program
the master transmitter
to transfer any or all
individual channels when
you activate the trainer
switch. Pilot Link Master
is ideal for complex models, as the master transmitter maintains
control of all secondary functions, such as fl ight modes, retracts,
fl aps and brakes.
Secondary functions can be individually assigned to the Slave
transmitter as necessary. It is not necessary to have model
programming in the slave transmitter.
Wireless Trainer Operation

transmitter only).
2. Bind the master transmitter to the model.

fully charged.

6. Enter bind mode on the slave transmitter following the
instructions provided with that transmitter.
7. After a successful bind, the following screen should appear.
8. Press the trainer button on the master transmitter to transfer
model control from the master to the slave.
9. Release the trainer button and the master transmitter regains
control of the model.
Master Override
The Master Override feature enables the instructor to immediately
regain control of the model by moving the control sticks. After you
activate Master Override, the slave transmitter cannot control the
model until you reset the trainer switch.
To reset the trainer switch:
1. Move the trainer switch to the OFF position.
2. Move the trainer switch to the ON position to activate the slave
transmitter.
