CURVE MENU ( ADJUSTABLE RATE CONTROL )
Changing the Rate Percentage Value:
The Rate percentage value determines the amount of Adjustable Rate Control, either Quick, Mild or Linear (see diagram on the
previous page). When a Positive or Negative Rate percentage value is programmed, a Linear Curve will be created from the
Neutral Point.
1) Press the ENTER key, then press the UP or DOWN keys to Increase or Decrease
the Rate percentage value. Using a Negative Rate percentage value will Soften the
control feel around the Neutral Point and using a Positive Rate percentage value will
Heighten the control feel around the Neutral Point.
CURVE RATE setting range is -100% (Mild) to 100% (Quick). The default setting for all channels is 0% (Linear).
You are able to adjust the Rate percentage
value for the Throttle High Side and the
Throttle Brake Side separately. To do this, pull
or push the Throttle Trigger to highlight H (for
High Side) or B (for Brake Side), prior to
programming the Rate percentage value.
The Rate percentage value for the Steering, Auxiliary 1 and Auxiliary 2 channels effects both sides equally.
Changing the Point Percentage Value:
The Point percentage value determines the Neutral Point where the Rate percentage value begins. For example, you may not
want the Neutral Point to be centered between the High and Low End Points. You might want the Neutral Point shifted to the
Right or to the Left.
1) Press the DOWN key to highlight POINT 50%.
2) Press the ENTER key, then press the UP or DOWN keys to Increase or Decrease the
Point value. Increasing the Point value will shift the Neutral Point to one side of
center and Decreasing the Point value will shift the Neutral Point to the opposite
side of center.
CURVE POINT setting range is 5 to 95. The default setting is for all channels 50 (Centered).
Like the Rate percentage value, you are able to adjust the Point percentage value for the Throttle High Side and the
Throttle Brake Side separately.
F / S MENU ( FAIL SAFE )
The Fail Safe function automatically moves the servos to a predetermined position in the event that the signal between the
transmitter and the receiver is interrupted, whether due to signal degradation or to low transmitter battery voltage. The Fail
Safe function can be programmed to HOLD the servos in the last position they were in when the signal was lost or the servos
can be programmed to move to a custom position when the signal is lost. For example, the Throttle servo (or ESC) can be
programmed to move toward the Brake Side to engage the Brakes and stop your model, or, if you're driving a boat, the Fail
Safe function could be set to Lower the Throttle servo (or ESC) to idle and turn the rudder slightly Left or Right so that the boat
will continue in slow circles.
In addition, a Receiver Battery Voltage Fail Safe function is featured that can alert you when your receiver battery requires
recharging. This ensures that the receiver battery's voltage doesn't drop so low that your servos aren't provided adequate
voltage to operate optimally.
Fail Safe settings can be programmed for each of the four channels individually. Fail Safe settings are model-specific,
meaning you can have different Fail Safe settings for each of your models.
IMPORTANT: The Fail Safe settings will be retained even if the transmitter loses power or if the transmitter and receiver must
be paired again.
