ESC Link Function "MC LINK"

This is a special function which lets you set the contents of the Link software
which performs Futaba speed controller (ESC), MC950CR, MC851C, MC602C,
MC402CR, etc. variable frequency and other data changes at the T4PL transmit-
ter. However, some data changes require a PC and Link software. This function is
used by connecting ESC directly to the transmitter. The T4PL power switch is used
at the display side. Use the various optional servo extension cords according to the
distance between the transmitter and ESC. The last data read from ESC to T4PL or
the last data written from T4PL to ESC is saved to the T4PL. Since the data for each
model memory can be saved, the data of up to 40 models can be saved.
-When the T4PL battery voltage drops, the display switches to low battery display. Therefore, use this function when there is
ample battery capacity remaining.
-Also connect the battery at the ESC side.
