glossary of terms

Activate: To turn ON a particular function.
Adjustable Rate Control: Varies the amount of servo action with respect to manipulation of the steering wheel or throttle trigger.
Increasing the Adjustable Rate Control value will make the servo action quicker, while reducing the Adjustable Rate Control value
will make the servo action milder.
Antenna: Transmits the signal from the transmitter to the receiver in the model. The antenna should be extended in the vertical
position during use. When not in use, the Antenna should be collapsed into the horizontal position to prevent damage.
Antenna Reception Wire: The portion of the receiver antenna that actually receives the transmitter signal. The Antenna Reception
Wire should never be bent or it could be damaged and limit the range of your model.
Anti-Lock Braking: Makes it possible to achieve stable braking even on slippery surfaces. With stable braking, your model is
better able to trace an exact line under braking.
Audible Signal: A tone that is emitted from the transmitter to alert you to various key-presses, alarms, and warnings. The tones
of Audible Signals can be customized and even muted.
Battery Compartment: Houses the 6 cell 1500mAH NiMH battery that powers the transmitter. The transmitter uses a 6 cell
battery for lighter weight and better feel, while still maintaining a high power output.
Binding: The act of pairing the transmitter and receiver to prevent interference from radio controllers operated by other users.
The transmitter and receiver must be paired so that the two can 'talk' to each other. Once the Binding process is complete, the
setting is remembered even when the transmitter and receiver are turned OFF.
Brake Mixing: Used primarily with 1/5th scale gas-powered models or other types of models that use two separate brake servos.
Allows you to adjust when each brake is engaged. For example, if your model features separate front and rear brakes, the rear
brake can be adjusted to engage before the front brake engages or vice-versa.
Brake Side: Refers to the throttle trigger stroke that engages the brakes on your model (pushing the throttle trigger).
Charging Jack: Used for onboard charging of the 6 cell 1500mAH NiMH battery. Only use the charger included with your M11X FHSS-3
2.4GHz radio control system to charge the battery through the charging jack. Use of any other charger can damage the transmitter.
Coaxial Cable: The portion of the receiver antenna that extends the Antenna Reception Wire. The Coaxial Cable can be bent into
gentle curves, however, do not bend the Coaxial Cable acutely, or repeatedly bend it, or the antenna core can be damaged. The
Coaxial Cable should be installed through a nylon tube (antenna tube) in the vertical position for the best reception.
Compensation Mixing: Allows you to mix two channels together, then apply that mixing to the channels themselves. For
example, you can use Compensation Mixing to activate an air-brake or a wing on your model when you apply the brakes, or
when you reach full throttle. Two Compensation Mixers are available, and each can be Activated separately. Graphical indications
make it easier to visualize the mixing settings.
Countdown Timer: Used to notify you of your model's running time. For example, set the Countdown Timer to 7 minutes. When
the Countdown Timer sounds, refuel. The Countdown Timer accepts settings of up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds. Once the count
down timer has run out, the count up timer starts. This allows you to check the time elapsed since the timer ran out.
Custom Menu: Allows you to create up to three Custom Function Pages (C1, C2, and C3) that replace the Default Function
Pages (F1, F2, and F3). This makes programming the transmitter more user-friendly, since you can place your most accessed
menus onto one or more Custom Function Pages.
Dial Knob: A rotary knob that can rotate 360º. The Dial Knob is programmable and will perform a different function depending on
what function is assigned to it. For example, the Dial Knob can be used to scroll through programming menu selections or a trim
function or even an auxiliary channel can be assigned to it.
DEC/- Key: Decreases number values in the Programming Window. Also scrolls down a Selection List.
Direct Servo Control Jack (DSC):
to check your model's linkage and make necessary programming changes during a race or a situation when radio transmission
is prohibited. When connected between the receiver and the transmitter, the receiver is turned ON and the Display Switch is
utilized to complete programming. No signal is actually transmitted between the transmitter and receiver.
Display Switch: Activates the transmitter's LCD Display without actually turning the transmitter ON. This allows you to check
and/or change programming settings without actually turning ON the transmitter.
End Point Adjustment: Used to adjust the desired amount of servo travel in both the right and left directions independently.
EPA can be set for the Steering channel, Throttle channel, Auxiliary channel, and Brake channel (4CH Mode).
Enter Key: Moves the Cursor forward in the Programming Window. Also used in the Help Display Area.
Using the DSC cable for M11X(available separately), the Direct Servo Control Jack allows you
