Telemetry
Telemetry is in both the system setup and the function list so you
can access the telemetry functions from either list.
You must power off the receiver and transmitter, then power them
both on to reset the telemetry data. You can reset min/max values
by pressing the CLEAR button.
NEVER change Telemetry settings when the aircraft is powered
on. There is a brief interruption in RF output when exiting the
Telemetry screen, and may cause a “Hold” condition.
Custom Voice Setup
Use the custom voice setup function to set up custom voice alerts
or messages. For example, with the custom voice setup function
you can be alerted to a switch change report or a sequence of
alerts using the Stepping Events option. To add a new custom
voice alert or command, enter the Custom Voice Setup function
and select Add New Sound Event with the roller. Select either
Switch Change Report or Stepping Events.
Switch Change Report
Use this feature to have telemetry read in a certain switch
position, current switch position, or a variety of other alerts such
as “Landing Flaps” or “Mix On”. Begin by selecting the switch you
wish to use for the spoken alert, then select the desired setting
next to each switch position.
Stepping Events
Stepping Events can be used to provide voice alerts when a switch
is moved stepping through a list of events. Begin by selecting
the switch desired to trigger each step through the list (when the
switch is triggered as selected, the system will move to the next
item on the list going through the list of user-defi ned selections
one by one.) Auto-Cycle can be selected to Inhibit or Active. If
inhibited, the system will go through the list 1 time only, if the
switch is triggered again when at the fi nal item in the list, it will
not begin at the top of the list. If Active, the system will restart at
the beginning of the list after the last item on the list with the next
switch trigger. Steps is used to select the number of items on the
list for the system to call. This can be set from 0 to 16. So there
can be up to 16 items called to the pilot triggered by the switch
selected. Next select the alert to be spoken for each stepped event
on the list as desired. A variety of alerts can be chosen from the
list including telemetry alerts and a variety of fl ight conditions and
commands.
