Trainer - FUTABA T12K Instruction Manual

TRAINER

T12K trainer system makes it possible for the
instructor to chose which channels and operation
modes can be used in the student transmitter.
The function and rate of each channel can be
set. The training method can also be matched to
the student's skill level. Two transmitters must
be connected by an optional Trainer Cord. The
instructor's transmitter should be programmed for
trainer operation, as described below.
When the instructor activates the trainer switch,
the student has control of the aircraft (if MIX/
FUNC/NORM mode is turned on, the Instructor
can make corrections while the student has control).
When the switch is released, the instructor regains
control. This is very useful if the student gets the
aircraft into an undesirable situation.
● Setting data are stored to model data.
● Student rate can be adjusted at MIX/FUNC/
NORM mode.
● Activated student channels can be selected
by switches.

NOTE: This trainer system can be used in the
following ways:
1. With the T12K and a conventional transmitter,
you must match the channel order on the
two transmitters before using the trainer
function.
You can select the channel of input data
from the student transmitter in the "FUNC" or
"MIX" mode.
2. When the T12K is used as the instructor
transmitter, set the modulation mode of the
student's transmitter to PPM.
If used as the student, T12K can be connected
to the instructor transmitter, which must be set
to PPM mode. T12K always uses the PPM mode
to send or receive signals through the trainer
jack.
(In the case of non-2.4GHz student transmitters.)
3. Be sure that all channels work correctly in
both transmitters before flying.
