FUTABA TRAINER SYSTEM
•The NEW FUTABA PROPORTIONAL Transmitters FP-T4FN. FP-T5FN, and FP-T6FN are equipped with the
newly developed FUTABA Trainer System as standard. This system prevents damaging of valuable aircraft by
beginners. Use this system with a veteran as your teacher. A special trainer cord is available as an option.
• The FUTABA Trainer System can be used without regard to frequency (27MHz, 40MHz, 72MHz) or number of
channels of the instructor's transmitter and students transmitter. For instance, the 27MHz FP-T6FN can be
used with the 72 MHz FP-T4FN. However, in this case, use the 27MHz FP-T6FN as the instructor's trans-
mitter if the frequency of the receiver is 27MHz and use the 72MHz FP-T4FN as the instructor's transmitter if
the frequency of the receiver is 72MHz. Naturally, the number of operable channels corresponds to that of the
transmitter. The above is an example of 4 channel operation.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. When conducting training, connect the two transmitters together with the special cord*as illustrated in Figure 4.
*Similar cords are on sale, but since these cannot be used, always use the special FUTABA shielded trainer
cord.
2. The instructor must use a transmitter of the same band as the receiver. (The instructor's transmitter is desig-
nated Tx1 and the student's transmitter is designated Tx2.)
Since the radio waves are always radiated from the Tx1 side (transmitter whose power has been turned on),
extend the antenna of Tx1 fully. The position of the antenna of Tx2 doesn't matter, since the radio waves are
radiated from Tx1 even when operation is performed from Tx2.
3. Turn on the power of Tx1 only. The meter pointer will deflect, the same as for the case of independent operation.
The meter pointer of Tx2 will also deflect simultaneously.
NOTE: Never turn the power switch of Tx2 on, regardless of whether the bands coincide or not.
