Telemetry:distance - FUTABA T12K Instruction Manual

TELEMETRY : DISTANCE
The Distance screen displays and sets altitude
data from an SBS-01G/02G GPS Sensor (sold
separately), and allows the distance to the airborne
aircraft to be read by the transmitter. When the
aircraft flies inside or outside the set distance an
alarm and vibration alerts the pilot.
●This indicates the receiving accuracy from a GPS satellite. When
three bars are displayed, the GPS is ready for use. Pushing
[REFERENCE] sets the current aircraft position as the starting point.
