GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Activate: To turn ON a particular function.
Adjustable Rate Control (ARC): Allows you to vary the amount of servo travel in relation to the movement of the Steering Wheel
or Throttle Trigger near the Neutral positions to change the way those functions react to control movement. The ARC
function works like Exponential, except that the ARC function features the added benefit of being able to move the Neutral
Point, whereas Exponential has a fixed Neutral Point. In addition, the ARC Curve is more Linear than an Exponential Curve.
Antenna: Transmits the signal from the transmitter to the receiver in the model.
Anti-Lock Braking: Makes it possible to achieve stable braking even on slippery surfaces. With stable braking, your model is
better able to trace an exact line under braking.
Assist Steering - A function that allows you turn Steering Dual Rate, Steering Servo Speed and Steering Curve functions ON
and OFF at the same time.

CAUSE
Too much servo travel
Trim Step resolution requires adjustment
Receiver battery voltage has reached
programmed Receiver Battery Voltage
Fail Safe voltage value
Throttle channel Fail Safe value set to
FREE or HOLD
Telemetry System turned OFF
Out of Telemetry receiving range
Not using a Telemetry-capable receiver
Contrast setting too high or too low
Transmitter left in direct sunlight too long
LCD Backlight is turned OFF
LCD LIGHT-MODE is set to Key-On
ABS function is turned ON
Steering out of trim
Throttle out of trim
Throttle Offset function turned ON
Dual Rate value(s) set too high
No or positive ARC value programmed
Using incorrect Channel Response
Mode setting
This is normal
Cursor is Active in Character Select
screen
This is normal
Spring tension set too loose
Controls require calibration
Using incorrect receiver and/or Accessories
Auxiliary Type not selected and/or AUX1
or AUX2 not assigned to a Trim Switch or
Auxiliary Switch
SOLUTION
Decrease servo travel using EPA function
Adjust Trim Step resolution
Replace or recharge the receiver batteries
Set Throttle channel Fail Safe to a percentage value
Turn Telemetry System ON
Shorten distance between transmitter and receiver
Use Airtronics or Sanwa FH4T Telemetry-capable
receiver or Sanwa Super Vortex series ESC
Readjust contrast setting
Place transmitter in shade until LCD clears
Set LCD LIGHT-MODE to Key-On or Always
This is normal to save battery power. Increase LIGHT-
TIME value or set LCD LIGHT-MODE to Always
This is normal under Braking with ABS function ON
Use Steering Trim Switch to adjust Steering Trim so
model drives straight
Use Throttle Trim Switch to adjust Throttle Neutral Point
Turn Throttle Offset function OFF
Decrease Dual Rate value(s)
Program a negative ARC value
Use correct Channel Response Mode setting based
on the type of servos and/or ESC you're using
Direction of travel displayed will vary depending on
Servo Reversing settings
Press BACK key to re-gain control of underscore
Lap Timer will clear when you Start the Lap Timer again
Tighten spring tension
Calibrate control End Points and Neutral positions
using VR Adjust function
Must use Airtronics or Sanwa receiver and accessories
that support Sanwa Synchronized Link (SSL)
Must first choose Auxiliary Type and ensure AUX1 and/or
AUX2 are assigned to a Trim Switch or Auxiliary Lever and
that the function is turned ON
