A 3-pin socket above the charge jack on the left side of the radio is used for updating
the TTX650’s operating fi rmware. An optional Tactic TTX650 USB Firmware Interface
(part number TACJ2651) is required. The software and suitable driver required for the
download are free and found at http://tacticrc.com/tacj2650.html.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the Tx battery shows good voltage prior to attempting
a download. Use new alkalines, or fully recharge NiCd or NiMH batteries
prior to starting the download. Once the software is loaded on the computer,
the new fi rmware can be uploaded to the Tx.
Refer to all instructions included with TTX650 USB Firmware Interface for upgrading the
fi rmware in the TTX650 radio.
The following indications will sound and/or show if any of the following occur:
LOW BATTERY: Battery voltage is at or below the BATT ALARM setting. Cannot change
memories at this time. Replace or re-charge batteries.
RF ON / OFF?: Turn the radio’s Rf signal on or off.
THRO POS.: The throttle stick is >50% full defl ection at start-up. Move the throttle
stick to minimum.
THRO CUT: The throttle cut function has been set and the switch is on.
THRO HOLD: The throttle hold function has been set and the switch is on.
NO SIGNAL: While in training mode, if the signal between the teacher and student
transmitters becomes un-linked.
AUTO SHUTDOWN: If no transmitter stick or control is moved
after 10 minutes have elapsed, this warning screen will
show and the Tx will proceed to shut itself down to prevent
unwanted drainage of the batteries. If the transmitter’s Rf
section is turned ON, the Tx will automatically shut down 120
seconds after this message shows. If the Rf section is turned
OFF, the Tx will shut down 60 seconds after this message
shows. Moving the sticks will turn this warning off.
WARNING! Always make sure that power is applied to the transmitter
BEFORE applying power to the receiver and servos, and the Tx throttle
stick is at minimum (idle) position. Failure to do so could result in the
model becoming uncontrollable and cause a safety hazard. During
all pre-fl ight preparations, do not stand the Tx upright on the ground. Carefully lay the
Tx on its back on the ground to prevent it from falling over and possibly dislodging the
