TIMER

The TIMER function can be used to monitor flying time, fuel consumption, at contests,
etc. Four different timing functions are available: Up Timer, Down Timer, Rhythmic Timer,
and Total (Integrating) Timer.
Timer Functions
1) Up Timer This timer counts up from zero in
1 second steps. Its maximum count is 59:59.
When the alarm time is set, a buzzer begins to
sound 10 seconds before the set time is up.
The buzzer also sounds at each 1 minute
interval. When the time reaches 59:59, timing
restarts from 00:00.
2) Down Timer This timer counts down from
the set time in 1 second steps. Operation is
otherwise the same as the Up Timer.
TIMER RESET KEYS
Pressing both keys simultaneously,
resets the integrating timer.
Display will read 0:00:00.
3) Rhythmic Timer This is a 0.1 second cyclic
timer. A buzzer sounds at each set alarm
interval. When the set alarm interval elapses,
the counting automatically restarts.
4) Total (Integrating) Timer This timer records
the total transmitter ON time. It is very useful
for estimating remaining Nicd battery capac-
ity and monitoring total flying time. Maxi-
mum count is 59:59:59.
