FUTABA 8UHPS Instruction Manual page 48

The Timer Menu controls an electronic clock that may be used to keep track of time remaining
in a competition task window, flying time on a full tank of fuel, amount of time on a battery, etc.
The timer's settings may be set independently for each model, and is automatically updated each
time the model is changed. The timer can be set to count up to 59 minutes 59 seconds.
You may choose either a count-down or count-up timer mode. When the timer switch is turned
on, the down timer starts from the chosen time and displays the amount of time remaining. If the
timer exceeds the time setting, it continues to count and displays a minus sign (–) in front of the
numbers. The countup timer starts at 0 and displays the elapsed time. In either timer mode, the
timer beeps once each minute. During the last ten seconds, there's a beep each second.
The timer screen can be easily displayed or cleared by pressing the
screen when the transmitter power is turned on. The timer is started by the plus (+) key and stopped
by the (–) key. When the
If the keys (+ and –) are pressed simultaneously after the timer is started, the timer is reset,
but continues to count up or down.
The starting and stopping switches may be chosen among any of Switch A — Switch H, activated by
the throttle stick (STK-3) , or activated by the power switch(POWER SW). The ON and OFF
directions can also be freely selected except the power switch. Using the throttle stick is particularly
convenient if you're keeping track of fuel remaining, or for an electric, how much battery is left.
Regardless of which switch is chosen, the timer can also be turned on and off with the
keys.
