called "memory." If, for example, only two ﬂights are made each time you go ﬂying, the batteries will not have "reached"

very far down into their full capacity. After doing this several times the batteries will "remember" and eventually "think" they

can supply only enough power for two ﬂights. After two ﬂights the batteries may not provide enough power to operate the

system, thus causing a crash. To erase any potential memory, cycle the batteries by discharging, then charging them with a

commercial battery cycler, or leave the system on and exercise the servos by moving the transmitter sticks until the servos

are moving very slowly, indicating that the battery is discharged. Cycling should be done every one to two months, even

during the winter or periods of long storage. If using a cycler with a readout, note the capacity after the batteries have been

cycled. If there is a noticeable drop in capacity the batteries should be replaced.

Note: Charging your batteries with the included Futaba A/C battery charger is always safe. However, fast-charging with

an aftermarket charger is acceptable as long as you know how to properly operate the charger. NEVER charge at a rate

higher than 1,000 mAh (1 Amp). If not done correctly, fast-charging can damage the batteries.

LIQUID CHIP DISPLAY (LCD) & PROGRAMMING CONTROLS

��

LCD display screen

When the transmitter is initially turned on, the model memory

number, model memory name, modulation type and transmitter

battery voltage are displayed on the LCD screen. When prompted by

the user, the functions and settings stored in the memory can also be

read on the screen. The user accesses the different functions using the

MODE and SELECT keys and changes the values and settings using

the DATA INPUT lever. (This is called programming!)

Note: Feel free to explore by scrolling through the programs and viewing the displays using the MODE and SELECT keys.

The MODE and SELECT keys only determine what will be displayed on the screen and will not change any of the settings.

Only when using the DATA INPUT lever will you be able to change any of the settings.
