Factory Repair Service Information

Please read the warranty card supplied with your system and
return it. Before you decide to have your system repaired, if
there is no apparent physical damage, read this instruction
manual again and check to be sure that you are operating the
system as it was designed to be operated. If you are still
having trouble, pack up your system in its original shipping
materials and send it to the nearest authorized Hitec R/C
Service Center.
Be sure to include a note in your package that describes the
trouble in as much detail as possible, including:

- Symptoms of the problem in as much detail as you can

provide, including any unusual mounting conditions or
equipment orientation

- A list of items you are sending, and what you want to be

repaired.

- Your name, address, and telephone number.

The buttons are used for different things as follows:
1. The Edit buttons allow you to move up and down within the

model menus, and move within the regular display.

2. The Cursor Left/Right buttons allow you to select options

within a particular function, and control the timer function.

3. The Data +Increase & -Decrease buttons allow you to

increase or decrease the numerical settings for a function

4. The Clear Active/Inhibit button resets numbers, and turns

functions on and off.

5. The Lock button holds the throttle channel fixed while other

channels still respond to the transmitter.

You'll learn how to use these buttons in the setup sections that follow.

When you first turn on your transmitter, the first screen shown
below appears on the LCD display. Before flying, or even
starting the engine, BE SURE that the model number
appearing in the upper right of the display matches the
model that you are about to fly! If you don't, reversed
servos and incorrect trims will lead to an immediate crash.
You can scroll up and down through the startup screen by
pressing one of the two Edit keys (the two keys on the far left).
If you press timer or engine cut or lock keys, you go directly to
those functions regardless of the display.

The table below shows the hookups that should be used for each of the model types. Note that some functions shown will not
operate until they are activated in the transmitter.

The servo response varies with the selected function. Standard options are shown first.
