This is a system information screen and information cannot be
changed at this menu item . There are 4 groups of figures are
displayed e .g. 0000 0000 0000 0000 . Reading from right to left
across the screen these groups relate to :

ID number (Note: this is the 'user password', if you see no
user password here then the password is 4x blanks e.g. " " )

internal firmware version

external ROM firmware version

Total usage time (Hours x100 : Hours : Minutes)
This menu item allows you to modify the types of switches on the
9z. To change/modify a switch's type:

First physically replace the switch on the 9Z case.

Now select the switch that you replaced on the menu (e.g.
"SA" on the menu is "Switch A" on the 9Z case).

Finally, choose the new type you replaced it with . (e.g. "2" is
2-position switch, "3" is 3-position switch and "M" is
momentary switch).
Calibration process for toggle switches (e.g. "SA" is switch A etc.).
Do not calibrate the middle position of Switch A if you have a 3
position switch or you will need to hard reset the 9Z transmitter.
Neutral calibration process for joysticks (e.g. J1 is Joystick 1 etc.).
Set all sticks to their neutral / centre position before pressing "SET" .
All four boxes will become black to indicate a successful
calibration .
Wide/Extreme throw calibration process for joysticks , dials and
sliders (e.g. J1 is Joystick 1, RD is Right Dial , LS is Left Slider on
the side of the case etc.).

Set all Dials fully clockwise .

Set both Sliders fully down .

Hold both Joysticks fully right and fully down .
Now press "SET" to calibrate. Any control you do not wish to
calibrate should be set to its neutral / centre position before
pressing "SET". Boxes will become black to indicate a successful
calibration of the associated control .
Narrow/Zero throw calibration process for joysticks , dials and
sliders (e.g. J1 is Joystick 1, RD is Right Dial , LS is Left Slider on
the side of the case etc.).

Set all Dials fully anticlockwise .

Set both Sliders fully up.

Hold both Joysticks fully left and fully up .
Now press "SET" to calibrate. Any control you do not wish to
calibrate should be set to its neutral / centre position before
pressing "SET". Boxes will become black to indicate a successful
calibration of the associated control .
This is the Voltage Calibration process (Note: default values are
usually fairly accurate before calibration ) :

Set the main battery voltage to 8.5v (+/- 0.2v)

Set DSC DIN Connector pin 6 to 5v (+/- 0.2v)

Press "SET" to calibrate.
