The operating time is still shown on the right. If you reset
this each time you charge the system, you will have a
good idea of how long you can safely operate.
WHEN THE BEEPER SOUNDS, LAND YOUR MODEL AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LOSS OF CONTROL DUE
TO A DEAD TRANSMITTER BATTERY.
The IDLE ON warning is
displayed when the trans-
mitter is powered up with
the Idle-up switch on in the
helicopter mode only.
You can turn this off by moving the Flt. Mode switch back.
For your safety, the transmitter will not broadcast until this
alarm is ended.
The HOLD ON warning is
displayed when the trans-
mitter is powered up with
the Throttle hold switch on
in the helicopter mode only
when throttle hold values are programed.
You can turn this off by moving the Flt. Cond. switch
back. For your safety, the transmitter will not broadcast
until this alarm is ended.
The LOW BATTERY warn-
ing is displayed when the
transmitter battery voltage
drops below 9.3 volts, and
a beeper will beep.
Pressing the Up button
again gives the Model
Name display. If you've
named your model, it will
appear here so you can be
sure you have recalled the correct memory. If you do not
name the model, you'll have to remember which model
memory it's stored within by the memory number.
Pressing the start/stop
button gives the Timer
display, with a stopwatch
display on the left, and
operating time on the right.
This also starts the timer, so hit the start/stop key again
to stop it. Hitting the Cursor Left (Off) button resets the
timer and returns you to the display mode.
Pressing the Lock button
locks the throttle servo
and holds it where you
last commanded it. This
may be used as a safety
feature when you are carrying the model and transmitter
to ensure you don't accidentally give throttle. It is shown
by the LOCK indicator.

Model Setup Functions
This section describes the model setup functions that are used to choose all of the operating features of a
particular model memory. These functions are used to select the model memory, the model type (from air-
planes, gliders, and helicopters), set the stopwatch, and other useful functions. These functions are used
to set up a new model or a new model memory, to switch between memories, and to change transmit shift.
