Backup battery: battery used to protect data storage in case of removal of master transmitter battery. In most Futaba
radios, including the 7C, EEPROM data storage is used, so no backup battery is used or needed.
BACKUP ERROR: transmitter's hard-coded memory has been lost. Send for service immediately. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19

Battery FailSafe: determines how the receiver indicates an airborne pack low-battery warning. Defaults: 56% throttle,
requires throttle to idle to override. To adjust the warning point, set a T
BEEP: tone emitted by transmitter to signify a variety of situations. See Error messages.
Binding: friction in a joint exceeding the movement of the linkage. Sticking or inability to continue movement. The servo
continues to attempt to move the surface beyond its power/capabilities, rapidly draining battery power as it continues to struggle.
Buddy Box: see Trainer box.
CCPM: Cyclic (pitch and roll) Collective Pitch Mixing. Multiple servos work in unison on the helicopterís head to create one
or more of the control functions. Ex: 3 servos set at 120 degrees operate the entire head. The 2 forward servos work together to
rotate both the bladeís pitch and the roll cyclic (aileron) in a HR3head type. See MODEL TYPE,HELI.
Charge: to increase the electrical energy, measured as voltage, available in a battery pack. See Battery care and charging.
Condition: (HELI) separate flight setup that has significant adjustability separate from the basic model setup. See IDLE-
UP 1, 2 and THROTTLE HOLD.
