Introduction To The 7C - FUTABA 7CAP Instruction Manual

Note that in the text of this manual, beginning at this point, any time we are using a featureís specialized name or abbreviation
as seen on the screen of the 7C, that name, feature, or abbreviation will be exactly as seen on the radioís screen, including
capitalization, and shown in a DIFFERENT TYPESTYLE for clarity. Any time we mention a specific control on the radio itself,
such as moving S

•
Trainer system includes the "functional" (F ) setting, which allows the student to use the 7C's mixing, helicopter, and
other programming functions even with a 4-channel buddy box. (Optional trainer cord required.)
• Transmits in both FM (PPM) and PCM by selecting modulation/cycling transmitter. Requires receiver of proper modulation.
•
Permanent memory storage via EEPROM with no backup battery to service or have fail.
•
7CA transmitter features airplane friendly switch layout, with the trainer switch at the left hand, and a notched throttle
to minimize throttle changes with rudder input. Defaults to ACRO MODEL TYPE.
•
7CH transmitter features helicopter-friendly switch layout, with idle-up switch at the left hand, and
a smooth, ratchet-less (unsprung) throttle for perfect hovering. Defaults to H-1 MODEL TYPE.
•
In North America it is against FCC regulation to change the crystal within the transmitter to a different
channel. All such transmitter crystal changes must be performed by a certified radio technician. Failure to properly tune
a system to its new channel may result in decreased range and may also result in interference to other types of frequency
users on adjoining channels. Doing so also voids your AMA insurance.
