Teacher mode
1. Set "Teacher/Student" button to "Teacher".
2. Change "ACT/INH" button from "INH" to "OFF"
or "ON".
3. Set "12CH/8CH" to "12CH" when the student is
using T14MZ. Otherwise set it to "8CH".
4. Call up the Switch Setting screen by touching
"Switch". Then set the desired switch and on/
off direction.
5. Select the switch mode. If you select "NORM",
the trainer function will be turned on or off
by a switch position. If you select "ALT", ON
and OFF of the trainer function switches
alternatively every time the switch is turned

operated without holding the switch lever.
6. The Instructor side selects the channel
for control. Three operating modes are
available.
Trainer Trainer system starting and setting
The Trainer function makes it possible for the
instructor to choose which functions and channels
are to be used for instruction, making it possible to
match the training ability to the student's skill level.
Two transmitters must be connected by an optional
Trainer Cord, and the Instructorsʼ transmitter
should be programmed for trainer operation, as
described below.
When the Instructor activates the trainer switch,
the student has control of the aircraft (if MIX or
FUNC mode is turned on, the Instructor can make
corrections while the student has control). When
the switch is released the Instructor regains control.
This is very useful if the student gets the aircraft
into an undesirable situation.
NOTE: This trainer system can be used in the
following manner;
1. In the T14MZ transmitter and a conventional
transmitter, if the channel order is different. It
is necessary to match the channel order in
the Linkage Menu when connecting it with
other than a T14MZ.
2. When the T14MZ is used as the Teacher,
set the modulation mode of the student’
s transmitter to PPM. If being used as the
student, set the T14MZ to the modulation
mode specifi ed by the Instructors’ transmitter.
When the Instructors’ transmitter is a T14MZ,
T9Z, T9C or T7C transmitter, it should be
switched to PPM mode.
3. Be sure that all channels work correctly in
both transmitters before fl ying.
