Model Selection

MDL-SEL

Levels

LV1, LV2, LV3

DEFINITION: Selects from the 10 model memories stored within the transmitter,

or additional model memories in the optional CAMPac ©.

AVAILABLE FOR:

10 models in transmitter memory

Optional additional memories, 10 per CAMPac © (see p. 5).

ADJUSTABILITY:

Models M1-M10 within the transmitter, E11-E20 from optional CAMPac ©

Stores complete model setups with all functions separate per model (except

settings within

SYSTEM).

INTERACTIONS:

Each model memory is a completely separate setup, and allows adjustment of all functions within each separate
model memory (except

SYSTEM functions).

Each model memory may be set to a different modulation. If a model memory of a different modulation is selected,
the transmitter must be turned off and back on to change the modulation.

Example: Model 1 is HRS with R203HF receiver. Model 2 is FM with R133F receiver. Select model 2 and
close the menu. Note that HRS is still displayed on screen. Turn transmitter off and back on. Modulation now
shows PPM and will communicate with the R133F or other FM receiver. (If you do not cycle the power on the
transmitter, it cannot communicate with the PPM receiver. See

MOD-MODE, p. 16.)

Each separate model memory may have a different level selection, so that simple models have only

LV1 menu, with

LV2 and LV3 for other, more complex models.

To make a copy of one model memory for setting up another, similar model, or for experimentation, change
LEVEL-SEL to LV2 (p. 12), and use MDL-COPY (p. 33).

DESIRED END RESULT: Select a specific model’s setup within the radio or CAMPac data storage.

CAUTIONS:

Never remove the CAMPac © with the power switch on.

If a CAMPac-stored model (E11-20) is in use when the transmitter is turned off, and then the CAMPac is
removed, “

SELECT ERROR” will be displayed on screen and model M1 will be automatically selected. Use model

select to select the desired model.

The transmitter does not recognize one CAMPac as being different from another. Model E11 is the first model
in the CAMPac currently in the port, regardless of what CAMPac was last in the port. (Imagine inserting a
floppy disk into your PC with a file on it labeled car1.doc. Close the file, remove the floppy, and insert another
floppy which also includes a file called car1.doc. Your PC doesn’t know or care that they may be different files;
it simply opens the file named car1.doc.)
