Back Mixing; Range Test; Timer - Spektrum SPMR8105 Instruction Manual

FUNCTION LIST

Back Mixing

Back Mixing applies to all related servos in a multi servo Aileron/
Flapped wing or a multi servo split elevator. Creating a mix to RAL
(Right Aileron) or LAL (Left Aileron) will create different results and
enables you to use fewer mixes to achieve the desired response.
Example 1: Creating a mix AIL > RAL will move the ailerons in
opposite directions, while creating a mix AIL > LAL will move the
ailerons in the same direction.
Example 2: Create a mix ELE > REL will move the elevator
halves together, while mixing ELE > LEL will move the elevator
halves in the opposite direction (tailerons).

Range Test

The Range Test function reduces the power output. This allows for
a range test to confi rm the RF link is operating correctly. Perform
a range check at the beginning of each fl ying session to confi rm
system operation.
To Access the Range Test screen:
1. With the transmitter on and the main or telemetry screen

3. With the Range Test screen displayed, push and hold the
trainer button. The screen displays Reduced Power. In this
mode the RF output is reduced allowing for an operational
range test of your system.
4. If you let go of the trainer button, the transmitter will go back
to Full Power.
IMPORTANT: Telemetry alarms are disabled during the Range
Test.
