GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Ackerman Angle: An engineered value that allows the inner tire to turn at a sharper angle than the outer tire to prevent the tires
from slipping during turns.
Activate: To turn ON a particular function.
Adjustable Rate Control: Allows you to vary the amount of servo travel in relation to the movement of the Steering Wheel, the
Throttle Trigger, the Auxiliary Dial or the Auxiliary Lever near the Neutral positions to change the way those functions react to
control movement. The ARC function works like the Exponential function, except that the ARC function features the added benefit
of being able to move the Neutral Point, whereas the Exponential function Neutral Point is fixed. In addition, the ARC Curve is more
Linear than the Exponential Curve.
Antenna: Transmits the signal from the transmitter to the receiver in the model.
Antenna Reception Wire: The portion of the receiver antenna that receives the transmitter signal. The Antenna Reception Wire
should never be bent or it could be damaged and limit the range of your 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.
Assign Screen: The ASSIGN screen displays the functions that are currently Assigned to the Push-Button Switches, the Trim
Switches, the Auxiliary Dial and the Auxiliary Lever, all in one convenient location.
Audio Indicator: Indicates on the LCD screen whether Audible Key Tones and Transmitter Alarms are Muted or not.
Audible Key Tone: An audible Tone that is emitted from the transmitter each time the Push-Button Rotary Dial, the Trim Switches,
the Push-Button Switches, the Auxiliary Dial or the Auxiliary Lever is used.
Auxiliary Dial: The Auxiliary Dial can rotate 360º and is programmable to perform a different function depending on what function
is Assigned to it. In the default configuration, it controls Auxiliary 1 High and Low servo travel.
Auxiliary Lever: The Auxiliary Lever is programmable and will perform a different function depending on what function is Assigned
to it. In the default configuration, it controls Auxiliary 2 High and Low servo travel.
Back Key: Returns to the previous menu. Repeatedly press to return to the STATUS screen.
Basic Mode: BASIC Mode simplifies transmitter use. The accompanying BASIC menu contains some of the more common,
general-use Programming Menus that a user will require for basic programming. When BASIC Mode is turned ON, not only are
these various Programming Menus in one easy place to find them, so you don't need to spend time finding them in one of the
other four menus, but it also removes the TELEMETRY and ASSIGN screens to simplify transmitter use.
Battery Compartment: Houses the 2S Li-Fe battery pack that powers the transmitter.
Binding: The act of pairing the transmitter and receiver to prevent interference from transmitters operated by other users.
Bind Button: Used in the process of Binding the transmitter and receiver.
Bind LED: Displays the current operating status of the receiver.
Boot Screen: Displays the brand logo while the transmitter starts up after being turned ON.
Brake Bias: The ability to vary the rate of Braking between two Brake servos. For example, programming the Front Brake to
Engage sooner than the Rear Brake can affect the handling characteristic of your model.
Brake Mixing: Allows you change the Brake Bias between the Front and Rear Brakes when two separate Brake servos are used.
Brake Side: Refers to the Throttle Trigger stroke that Engages the Brakes on your Model (pushing the Throttle Trigger).
Burn: Used mostly in Rock Crawling and in conjunction with the Motor on Axle function, power to the Front motor is reduced or
turned OFF while keeping full control of the Rear motor.
Calibration: Allows you to calibrate the operation of the Steering, Throttle and Auxiliary Lever End Points and Neutral positions
to ensure long term precise control operation.
Car Type Indicator: Indicates on the STATUS screen the current Car Type selected.
Car Type Templates: Allows you to quickly set up the transmitter's Mixing options based on the type of model you're driving.
Common templates for Car or Truck and Crawler Car Types are provided.
Center Trim Type: A Trim technology that allows the servo End Points to remain stationary when you apply Trim. This can result
in unbalanced servo travel. In order to balance servo travel, servo End Points need to be manually readjusted.
Channel Response Mode: Used to change the Response Mode of each channel to suit the type of servos you're using.
Channel Set: Allows you to make Programming Value changes to each of the four channels without the need to enter each
Programming Menu separately.
Coaxial Cable: The portion of the receiver antenna that extends the Antenna Reception Wire. The Coaxial Cable can be bent into
gentle curves, however, do not bend it acutely, or repeatedly bend it or the antenna core can be damaged.
