Model memory number and model name

The Futaba T6EXAP stores model memories for six models. This means all the data (control throws, trims, end points, etc.)

for up to six different models can be stored in the transmitter and activated at any time (depending upon which model you

choose to fly that day). This eliminates the requirement for reconfiguring the transmitter each time you decide to fly a different

model with it! When the transmitter is turned on the model number

, modulation and the transmitter voltage will

be indicated on the LCD screen. Before every flight BE CERTAIN

BE CERTAIN

that the correct model number for the model you intend to

fly appears on the screen. If the transmitter is not operating the correct model, some (or all) of the controls could be reversed

and the travels and trims will be wrong.

Flying a model with the wrong program will result in a crash, so always be certain

be certain

the model number and model name in the

transmitter is correct. One way to ensure this is to write the corresponding model number directly on the airplane, or attach a

list to the bottom or back of the transmitter.

Transmitter battery voltage

In addition to the model number, the LCD screen also displays the transmitter battery

voltage

. When the voltage goes below approximately 8.5 Volts

8.5 Volts

the “battery” icon will flash and

the low-battery alarm will continuously

“beep” until the transmitter is turned off. When the low-

battery alarm sounds you will have approximately four minutes (or less) to land your model

before losing control. You should never allow the transmitter voltage to become this low while

flying, but if it does, land immediately

PROGRAMMING THE 6EXAP RADIO

Anytime you wish to view

or change

change

any of the current settings in the transmitter, the programming mode must first be entered

by, of course, turning on the power, then by pressing the

“MODE

MODE

” and “SELECT

SELECT

” keys simultaneously and holding them down

for one second. Once

“in the program” the MODE key will be used to scroll through each of the ten or eleven(PCM) functions

(model number/ data reset/ modulation select/ model name, reversing, dual rates/ exponentials, end point adjustments, trim,

programmable mix,

“flaperon” mixing, “v-tail” mixing, “elevon” mixing, flap trim and failsafe) and the SELECT key will be used to

view the settings within the function. When a data change is actually required the

“DATA INPUT

DATA INPUT

” lever will be used to increase

or decrease the value of the item displayed, thus making the change.

You can return to the

“home” screen (where the model number and battery voltage is displayed) by pressing the MODE and

SELECT keys simultaneously and holding them down for one second.

Note:

The functions are listed and described in the order that they appear in the transmitter. Read all the way through the

programming instructions before setting up your model (if you won’t be using any of the mixing functions for a while you can

read those instructions when ready). Refer to the FLOW CHART on page 19 as well.

Note:

When the transmitter voltage reads 8.9 Volts

8.9 Volts

you

will still have approximately ten minutes (or less) before

losing operational range, so this is the recommended

absolute minimum

voltage. If the transmitter ever

reaches 8.9 Volts, land as soon as safely possible. A more

reasonable margin of safety would be to quit flying for the

day (or recharge the batteries) when the transmitter battery.

SUGGESTED GUIDELINES

9.4 Volts - No more flying until recharge.

8.9 Volts - Land as soon as safely possible.

8.5 Volts - Emergency- Land immediately!

Emergency- Land immediately!
