tips and suggestions
Pressing both the YES/+ and NO/-keys together will Reset the highlighted programming selection to the Factory Default Setting.
l
When the Top menu is displayed, pressing both the YES/+ and NO/- keys together will Reset the Timer display.
l
You can assign multiple functions to one switch by assigning the same Switch Position Number for each function. For example,
l
you could assign Elevator Dual Rate 2, Aileron Dual Rate 2, and Rudder Dual Rate 2 on one switch so that all three Dual
Rate functions can be changed at once.
Like many SD-10G programming features, Switch Assignments are model-specific. If you would like to keep the same Switch
l
Assignments from model-to-model for continuity, use the Data Copy function to save the time and effort necessary to re-program
the Switch Assignments for each model.
When you use the Data Reset function, ALL model-specific Flight Mode data, Surface Menu data, and model-specific
l
System programming, such as Switch Assignments, Model Name, Fail Safe settings, and Stick Switches will be Reset to the
factory default settings. Model Type and Modulation settings will NOT be Reset.
Increasing LCD Display Contrast can drain the battery more quickly than using a decreased (lower) setting.
l
Unless otherwise noted, all programming changes take effect immediately.
l
When the Memory Expansion Card is installed and Initialized, it is treated as an extension of the SD-10G transmitter's internal
l
model memory, therefore, model-specific programming data can be created, copied, deleted, etc., directly through the various
System menu selections. You do not need to enter the Memory Pack menu to make changes to models stored on the Memory
Expansion Card.
An audible tone is heard when the trim switches reach the center position. This allows you to know when the trim switches
l
reach the center position without the need to look at the Trim Indicators on the Top menu.
The SD-10G transmitter features Digital Trim Memory. Any amount of trim that you set during flight, using either the trim
l
switches or the YES/+ and NO/- keys from within the Trim menu, is automatically stored in memory for that specific channel
and model, and for that specific Flight Mode (if enabled). The Trim percentage values for each model will automatically be
loaded when the transmitter is turned ON and your model is selected.
There is always one Flight Mode Active at all times. In the default configuration, F-MODE N (Normal) is Active. When GLID
l
Model Type is selected, F-MODE 4 (Land) will be Active when the flap control stick is pulled all the way back.
The F-MODE key is used to facilitate programming the individual Flight Modes only and does not turn the Flight Modes ON
l
or OFF.
Prior to takeoff, check the position of the Dual Rate switches to ensure that they are in the positions you want. We recommend
l
programming maximum control throw when the three-position dual rate switches are either all the way forward or all the way
back, whichever you prefer.
The channels displayed in the Surface menu will vary based on Model Type and Model Type selection options selected in the
l
SYSTEM>MODEL TYPE menu. For example, if your model features dual elevator servos, LE (Left Elevator) and RE (Right
Elevator) will be displayed.
End Point Adjustment is not the same as Limits and should not be used in the same manner as Limits. Whereas Limits will
l
Limit the maximum servo travel in either direction, End Point Adjustment does not. End Point Adjustment is designed to balance
the control throw on both sides of servo travel and can be overridden by other settings, such as Dual Rate. For example, if
you have your End Point Adjustment set to 100%, and you set your Dual Rate to 150%, the servo will travel more than 100%
when Dual Rate is ON, however, if you have your Limits set to 100%, the servo will travel only 100%, regardless of the End
Point Adjustment setting or the Dual Rate setting.
Many F-Mode menu functions feature Common or Separate choices. When set to COM (Common), the function settings will be
l
the same regardless of which Flight Mode the transmitter is operating in. When set to SEP (Separate), you can program different
function settings separately for each Flight Mode.
The Delay function does not affect when the servo starts to respond to control stick movement. The Delay affects only the
l
transit time of the servo.
