Model memory number and model name
The Futaba T6EXHP stores model memories for six models. This means all the data (control throws, trims, end points, etc.) for

up to six different models can be stored in the transmitter and activated at any time (depending upon which model you choose

to ﬂy that day). This eliminates the requirement for reconﬁguring the transmitter each time you decide to ﬂy a different model

with it! When the transmitter is turned on the

model number, model name, modulation and the transmitter voltage will be

indicated on the LCD screen. Before every ﬂight

BE CERTAIN that the correct model number for the model you intend to ﬂy

appears on the screen. If the transmitter is not operating the correct model, some (or all) of the controls could be reversed and

the travels and trims will be wrong.

Flying a model with the wrong program will result in a crash, so always

be certain the model number and model name in

the transmitter is correct. One way to ensure this is to write the corresponding model number directly on the helicopter, or

attach a list to the bottom or back of the transmitter.

��

Transmitter battery voltage
In addition to the model number, the LCD screen also displays the

transmitter battery

voltage. When the voltage goes below approximately 8.5 Volts the “battery” icon will ﬂash

and the low-battery alarm will continuously beep until the transmitter is turned off. When the

low-battery alarm sounds you will have approximately four minutes (or less) to land your model

before losing control. You should never allow the transmitter voltage to become this low while

ﬂying, but if it does, land

immediately.

Note: When the transmitter voltage reads 8.9 Volts you will

still have approximately ten minutes (or less) before losing

operational range, so this is the recommended

absolute

minimum voltage. If the transmitter ever reaches 8.9 Volts,

land as soon as safely possible. A more reasonable margin

of safety would be to quit ﬂying for the day (or recharge the

batteries) when the transmitter battery.

SUGGESTED GUIDELINES

9.4 Volts - No more ﬂying until recharge.
8.9 Volts - Land as soon as safely possible.
8.5 Volts -

Emergency- Land immediately!

Mixer alert warning
The

Mixer alert warning is displayed to alert you whenever you turn on the transmitter with

any of the mixing switches active. This warning will disappear when the offending switch or

control is deactivated. Switches for which warnings will be issued at power-up are Throttle hold

switch or Idle-up switch.

Backup error
The

Backup error warning occurs when the transmitter memory is lost for any reason.If this

occurs, all of the data will be reset when the power is turn on again.
When the Backup error occurs, initialization starts from model number 6 to 1.
The model number on the left of the screen changes from 6 to 5, to 4, to 3, to 2, to 1, and

finally the number disappears. The disappearance of the model number indicates that the

initialization has been completed. Now you can turn off the power of the transmitter. Please

do NOT turn off the power during the initialization; otherwise initialization will restart when you

turn on the power.

Do not fly when this message is displayed: all programming has been erased and is not

available. Return your transmitter to Futaba service.
