WARNING! Never operate an R/C model with weak Tx batteries! Reduced operational range
and/or possible loss of control of the aircraft could result. Replace weak alkaline batteries, or
re-charge NiCd or NiMH batteries, before attempting a flight!
A "Tx Batt." timer in the TIMER menu described on page xx can track the total amount of time the transmitter has
been operational.
See the ACCESSORIES section on page xx for optional batteries and chargers available at local hobby retailers.
CHARGE JACK AND CHARGING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES: The charge jack
should only be used for recharging optional NiCd or NiMH batteries (charger not
included). Do not try to recharge alkaline batteries. Charge adapters for Futaba
brand transmitters are compatible, with the center pin being positive polarity. The
Tx power switch must be in the OFF position to recharge batteries. Do not charge batteries at greater than 1 amp.
Cycling of the Tx batteries can be accomplished through this jack. Misuse, improper charging, or over-charging of
rechargeable cells can result in damage to the cells that could include cell rupture, explosion, or fire!!
WARNING! Do not accidentally short circuit the terminals inside the charge jack, as this can cause
permanent damage to the radio's charge circuitry and battery and void the warranty.
POWER LED: The blue LED illuminates when the power switch is turned on and ample voltage is supplied by the
battery. This LED will flash if battery voltage drops to the voltage set in the BATTERY ALARM setting described on
page xx.
FLIGHT CONTROLS
Channels 1 - 4 are fully proportional. Channels 5 and 6 can be controlled by a non-proportional switch. However,
if a proportional channel (1-4) is mixed to channel 5 or 6 these channels can exhibit proportional control.
Aircraft control is accomplished through various electro-mechanical devices which are manipulated by the pilot,
such as the control sticks and toggle switches. In addition, the Tx can automatically manipulate the pilot's control
inputs electronically to alter the control signals before they are delivered to the receiver (e.g. mixing two channels,
applying differential reduction to a channel, etc.). Some electronic functions can be turned on/off by the pilot
during flight such as a timer. Other functions can only be altered while the model is on the ground, such as
changing travel limits or reversing for a particular channel.
GIMBAL STICKS: Ball-bearing construction allows both sticks to provide the ultimate in smooth, precise control.
Stick length can be adjusted for optimum feel and control. Each stick consists of a base and a tip. To adjust, hold
the base tightly, then loosen the tip by turning it counter-clockwise. Adjust the stick tip to the desired length.
Tighten the stick by holding the tip in place and turning the base counter-clockwise until it's tight against the tip.
STICK TENSION AND THROTTLE RACHET: Each control stick can be adjusted for softer or stiffer movement
tension. A ratchet is also included for the throttle stick which can be adjusted for feel depending on personal
preference. Adjustment of either feature requires removal of the rear of the Tx case as explained in the CASE
SEPARATION AND ASSEMBLY section below.
