TRAINR

Function
Since the channel and operation mode used in training can be selected, the training difficulty can be set
to match the student's level.
The trainer function can be used by connecting the instructor's transmitter to the student's transmitter
using a special trainer cord (sold separately). Student operation is possible by instructor switch operation. If
the student enters a dangerous situation, control can be immediately switched to the instructor.
● Four operation modes can be selected at each channel.
● The trainer switch is set to switch D.
When the trainer function is used, cancel the function
assigned to the switch D. THR-HOLD of a helicopter can't
be used.
CAUTION
● When the instructor uses a T6K transmitter, set the student' s transmitter modulation to PPM (for
conventional frequency transmitter). (When the student uses a T6K transmitter, the modulation
mode does not have to be changed. A PPM signal is always output from the trainer jack.)
● Before flight always confirm that all the instructor and student channels operate normally as set.
● Always insert the trainer cord as far as it will go and take measures so that the cord will not work
loose during use.
● Always remove the high frequency module of the student' s transmitter. (For module type)
● Never turn on the student' s transmitter power switch.
Trainer function operation modes
● FNC mode: The channel set to this mode can be controlled by the student using the mixing set at
the instructor' s transmitter. *Student settings are returned to their initial value in advance. Next,
reverse function makes all channels normal.
● NOR mode: The channel set to this mode is controlled by signals from the student' s transmitter. (The
instructor and student settings must be the same.)
● OFF mode: The channel set to this mode cannot be controlled by the student. It can only be controlled
by the instructor.
However, channels not provided at the student' s transmitter are controlled by the instructor regardless of the above
settings.
When other models are selected, the trainer function is deactivated, but the channel settings remain.
Example of use
● When the FUNC mode is set at the stick channel, helicopter stick operation training is possible even
with a 4EX transmitter (4 channels for aircraft).
● Control by the instructor is possible by setting only the training channel matched to the student' s
level to the NORM mode and setting the other channels to the OFF mode.
