CAUTION
To support new features model memories must be updated to version 1.2.0. Once the 1.2.0 update is installed
into your transmitter, the model memory update will automatically occur when you select the model the first time.
After this update has been performed the model memory will no longer be compatible with software versions prior
to 1.2.0.
Changing the RF Modulation
The T12Z transmitter is compatible with Futaba's TM-14 Module FASST 2.4GHz system.
When switching from the existing MZ-FM module to the TM-14, the TM-14 to the MZ-FM module, or similar
situation, it is necessary to reset the band accordingly.
When using the TM-14 and Futaba FASST receiver, it is necessary to link the transmitter module to the
respective receiver prior to using them for the first time. This process will only be necessary the first time that
these items are used. The unique identification code will be stored in the receiver.
When using the TM-14 FASST system, the DSC function has been disabled as it is unnecessary. Futaba's
FASST system will prevent any RF interference issues which might have arisen in the previous RF
modulation.
The multiprop function cannot be used.
How to Set the Band
1.
With the transmitter's power OFF, remove the
existing RF module and replace it with the TM-14
module.
2.
Turn ON the transmitter's power switch. Since
the RF module was replaced by an RF module
that varies from the previous settings, an
on-screen warning is displayed. To change the
modulation settings, push the DATA button.
3.
In the linkage menu, select the frequency setting
[FREQUENCY], and push the DATA button. A
message confirming the band change is displayed.
Press the DATA button once again.
