ESC Link Function "MC LINK"

This is a special function which lets you set the contents of the Link software in

Futaba speed controller (ESC), MC960CR, MC940CR, MC950CR, MC851C,

MC602C, MC402CR, etc, with variable frequency and other data changes at the

T4GRS transmitter. However, some data changes require a PC and Link software.

This function is used by connecting ESC directly to the transmitter. The T4GRS

power switch is set to the display side. Use the various optional servo extension

cords according to the distance between the transmitter and ESC. The last data read

from ESC to T4GRS or the last data written from T4GRS to ESC is saved to the

T4GRS. Since the data for each model memory can be saved, the data of up to 40

models can be saved.

-When the T4GRS battery voltage drops, the display switches to low battery display. Therefore, use this function when there

is ample battery capacity remaining.

-Also connect the battery at the ESC side.

-Note: Do not read to the T4GRS an MC940/960CR whose speed was set to over 99990rpm by Link software side Boost
Angle rpm setting.
