    ....................................page 200 packaging The packaging of your Airtronics SD-10G 2.4GHz FHSS-3 radio control system has been specially designed for the safe transportation and storage of the radio control system's components. after unpacking your radio control system, do not discard the packaging materials.

  • Page 3: Introduction

    We appreciate your purchase of the new Airtronics SD-10G 2.4GHz FHSS-3 radio control system. This Operating Manual is intended to acquaint you with the many unique features of your new state of the art SD-10G 2.4GHz FHSS-3 radio control system. In designing the SD-10G 2.4GHz FHSS-3 radio control system, our engineers listened to input from our test-pilots and feedback from our users to design a radio control system that will allow you to extract the maximum performance from your model, while at the same time making the programming process as easy as possible to accomplish.

  • Page 4: Safety And Usage Precautions

    In addition to the FCC Compliance section on the previous page, please observe the following safety and usage precautions when installing and using your new Airtronics SD-10G 2.4GHz FHSS-3 radio control system. SaFETY Be certain to read this Operating Manual in its entirety.

  • Page 7 Weight: 1.77oz (50gr) Due to the extremely high frame rate that the 92104 10-Channel receiver included with your SD-10G 2.4GHz FHSS-3 radio control system operates at, we strongly recommend the use of digital servos. If you use analog servos and experience problems, you will need to either upgrade to digital servos or use the Airtronics 92824 8-Channel, 92674 7-Channel, or 92664 6-Channel Micro 2.4GHz FHSS-1 receivers.

  • Page 8: Basic Model Setup Order

    The information on this page describes the Basic Model Setup Order that you can use to setup a new model. Regardless of the model you are flying, using the basic functions of the SD-10G transmitter for most applications is easy and will get your model setup quickly.

    Low Power Mode. You will be unable to control your model once it is a certain distance away from you. The SD-10G transmitter features a Type function which allows you to quickly set up the transmitter's low-level mixing based on the type of model you're flying. Common templates for AERO, GLIDER, and HELI model types are provided. For example, if your model features two aileron servos, two flap servos, and dual elevator servos, choosing these options will automatically change the transmitter's programming to accommodate this setup.
  • Page 10 Unless otherwise noted, all programming changes take effect immediately. When the Memory Expansion Card is installed and Initialized, it is treated as an extension of the SD-10G transmitter's internal model memory, therefore, model-specific programming data can be created, copied, deleted, etc., directly through the various System menu selections.

    THROTTLE HigH waRning aLaRM The SD-10G transmitter is equipped with a safety feature that will not allow you to use the transmitter if the throttle control stick is not in the lowest position when you turn the transmitter ON. If the throttle control stick is not in the lowest position when you turn the transmitter ON, the Throttle High Warning alarm will sound continuously, the red RF Output Indicator will blink, and the LCD Display will read TH-STICK Hi !! To clear the Throttle High Warning, pull the throttle control stick down to the lowest position.

  • Page 15: Custom Transmitter Adjustments

    ADJUSTMENTS Every effort has been made to engineer the optimum transmitter weight, balance, and feel in the design of your SD-10G 2.4GHz FHSS-3 radio control system. For example, the transmitter control sticks are ball bearing-supported for smooth control and use springs that result in superior feel for most pilots.
