of the wires before disconnecting the plug from the Tx. Install the NiCd or NiMH
battery by fi rst inserting its connector into the jack in the battery compartment.
Battery voltage is shown on the LCD’s home screen for easy monitoring. A “LOW BATTERY”
warning will show when battery power drops to the voltage value shown in the BATTERY
ALARM screen as described on page 12.
WARNING! Never operate an R/C model with weak Tx batteries! Reduced
operational range and/or possible loss of control of the aircraft could
result. Never mix used and new alkaline batteries. Replace weak alkaline
batteries, or re-charge NiCd or NiMH batteries before attempting a fl ight!
A “Tx Batt.” timer in the TIMER menu described on page 28 can track the total amount
of time the transmitter has been operational.
See the ACCESSORIES section on page 44 for optional batteries and chargers available
at local hobby retailers.
CHARGE JACK AND CHARGING
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
The charge jack should only be used for recharging optional NiCd or NiMH
batteries (charger not included). Do not try to recharge alkaline batteries.
Charge adapter leads for Futaba ® brand transmitters are compatible, with the
center pin being positive polarity. The Tx power switch must be in the OFF
position to recharge batteries. Do not charge batteries at greater than 1 amp.
Cycling of the Tx batteries can be accomplished through this jack. Misuse, improper
charging, or over-charging of rechargeable cells can result in damage to the cells that
could include cell rupture, explosion, or fi re!!
WARNING! Do not accidentally short circuit the terminals inside the charge
jack, as this can cause permanent damage to the radio’s charge circuitry and
battery and void the warranty.
POWER LED
The blue LED illuminates when the power switch is turned on and ample voltage is
supplied by the battery. This LED will fl ash if battery voltage drops to the voltage set in
the BATTERY ALARM setting described on page 12.
Channels 1– 6 are fully proportional. Channels 5 and 6 can be controlled by a non-
proportional switch or mixed to channels 1– 4 for full proportional control.
Aircraft control is accomplished through various electro-mechanical devices which are
manipulated by the pilot, such as the control sticks and toggle switches. In addition, the
Tx can automatically manipulate the pilot’s control inputs electronically to alter the control
signals before they are delivered to the receiver (e.g. mixing two channels, applying
