9 USING YOUR TRANSMITTER
2 CARACTERISTIQUES
This chapter will help you to clearly identify and understand the role of each organ of your transmitter to exploit it at
best.
9.1 STICKS
The control organs used to control the flying models due to the 6 channels or distinct functions of your transmitter.
 The four main channels (Ailerons, Rudder, Elevator & Throttle) are controlled by two sticks. These channels are called
proportional because the amplitude of movement of the servo corresponds to the amplitude of movement of the sticks.
Each of the 4 axes stick itself is equipped with a digital TRIM, a small lever to finely adjust the position of the
corresponding servo (when the stick is not activated). These four trims can adjust the level of the flying model.
Channel 5 is controlled by the 3-position switch located on the top right of the case and named CH5. The corresponding
servo may be placed on one of three predetermined positions.
Channel 6 is controlled by 2 positions switch at the top left of the case and named CH6. The corresponding servo may
be placed on one of two predetermined positions.
9.2 SWITCHES
The switching elements are used to change the operation of the transmitter by acting on one of the features it has.
 The timer switch allows you to reset the timer.
The D / R or Dual Rate (Double Working range) switch allows you to select the displacement range of the 3-axis during
flight. Your transmitter makes it possible to choose the amplitude of movement of the Ailerons, Rudder and Elevator
servos between two values.
9.3 USER'S INTERFACE
The user interface of your transmitter is composed of :
A backlit LCD screen displays data and settings. The backlight turns off automatically after a few seconds to maximize
battery operating time of the transmitter and instantly turns on when any key is pressed.
 4 navigation / programming keys ENTER, EXIT, UP and DOWN.
 A power switch located in the central part of the housing.

9.4 DSC CONNECTOR

Although fully digital, your transmitter is equipped with a connector named DSC (Direct Servo Control) delivering a PPM
signal for controlling analog simulator on PC (or possibly a third party radio transmitter used as a Master in the case of
schooling) . To dispose of the PPM signal, insert the 3.5mm cord into the jack DSC connector then turn on the
transmitter. The display indicates that the transmitter is automatically switched to PPM mode and the RF module is
neutralized (energy saving).
