Futaba 3PK - Manual (Page 57)

Base Load Antenna: A rigid, short antenna mounted to the model. Used to replace the longer stock antenna. Not
recommended or supported by Futaba.
Battery FailSafe: Notifies user when receiver voltage is low ............................................................................................17
Battery Recycling................................................................................................................................................................46
BEC: Battery Eliminator Circuitry. Allows receiver to draw power from a main battery pack, eliminating the need for (and
weight of) a receiver battery.
Binding: What occurs when the friction at a joint is stronger than the linkage.
BK-BL: Brake mixing balance. See Brake Mix. .................................................................................................................42
BK-DL: Brake mixing delay. See Brake Mix......................................................................................................................42
BK-RT: Brake mixing rate. See Brake Mix. .......................................................................................................................42
Boat mode: A menu of features specifically for boat modelers. Includes trigger-brake and tilt mixing. ..........................43
Brake mix: Built in programmable mixing to use channels 2 and 3 for separately adjustable front and rear brakes. .....42
BRAKE-MIX: See Brake Mix. ...........................................................................................................................................42
Brightness: See Contrast. ....................................................................................................................................................13
BRK-EXP: See Exponential Rate. ......................................................................................................................................20
BUZ-TONE: Buzzer tone adjustment. See System.............................................................................................................13
Calibration: See Adjuster....................................................................................................................................................45
CAMPac ©: Removable memory storage (diskette) to store 10 additional model memories..............................................5
Carburetor: The part of the engine which controls the speed or throttle setting and lean/rich mixture via setting of the
needle valve.
Caring for your NiCd Batteries.........................................................................................................................................49
CH3-Posi: Moves the channel 3 center position or overall position if channel 3 is unassigned to any dials or switches..............40
Changing Wheel Position and Modifying for Left Hand Use ........................................................................................51
Channel: The frequency number used by the transmitter to send signals to the receiver. If 2 or more radios transmit on the
same frequency, or channel, glitching will occur in the receiver, due to conflicting signals sent by the two radios. Racing
sites should have a frequency control system to ensure that only one radio operates on any given channel at one time. This
is usually a board with some type of marker for each channel. If the marker is not available, someone else is using that
channel. Do not use your radio unless you are sure you are the only one on the frequency.
Channel: The number of functions your radio can control. Ex: A 3-channel radio has 3 available servo slots used for separate
control surfaces or switches. These channels can also be mixed on many radios, for such functions as multi-servo braking.
Channel 1 > 3: In boat mode, mix from steering (rudder) to outboard. See Boat Mode. ..................................................43
Channel 3 > 1: In boat mode, mixing from outboard to steering (rudder). See Boat Mode. .............................................43
Channel 3 assignment.........................................................................................................................................................40
Charge Jack: The plug receptacle of the switch harness into which the charger is plugged to charge the receiver battery.
An expanded scale voltmeter (ESV) can also be plugged into it to check battery voltage between uses. It is advisable to
mount the charge jack in an accessible area of the model so an ESV can be used without extensive disassembly.
