Precautions Application, Export, and Modification Precautions. 1. This product is only designed for use with radio control models. Use of the product described in this instruction manual is limited to radio control models. 2. Export precautions: a) When this product is exported, it cannot be used where prohibited by the laws governing radio waves of the destination country. b) Use of this product with other than models may be restricted by Export and Trade Control Regulations. 3.
Do not fly at the following places: ■ Near another radio control flying field. ■ Near or above people. ■ Near homes, schools, hospitals or other places where people congregate. ■ Near high voltage lines, high structures, or communication facilities. When setting the transmitter on the ground during flight preparations, do not stand it upright. ■ The transmitter may tip over, the sticks may move and the propeller or rotor may rotate unexpectedly and cause injury.
■ Charging the battery past the specified value may cause a fire, combustion, rupture, or liquid leakage. When quick charging, do not charge the battery above 1C. ■ Do not charge the battery while riding in a vehicle. Vibration will prevent normal charging. When using the Li-Fe battery, do not connect the charger to the balance charge connector and the power connector at the same time. ■ Doing so could cause a fire, combustion, generation of heat, rupture, or liquid leakage.
SD Card (Commercial Product) Handling Precautions 5HDG WKH LQVWUXFWLRQ PDQXDO VXSSOLHG ZLWK WKH 6' FDUG IRU GHWDLOV WARNING Never disassemble or modify the SD card. Do not unreasonably bend, drop, scratch or place heavy objects on the SD card. If smoke or an abnormal odor emanates from the card, immediately turn off the transmitter power. Do not use the SD card where it may be exposed to water, chemicals, oil, or other fluids. ■ Doing so may cause a fire or electric shock by short circuiting.
BEFORE USE ũƈƄƗƘƕƈƖŃ FASSTest system The T18SZ transmitter has adopted the bidirectional communication system "FASSTest". Data from the receiver can be checked in your transmitter.

DANGER Don't touch wiring. * There is a danger of receiving an electric shock. Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. * A short circuit across the battery terminals may cause abnormal heating, fire and burns. Please double check your polarity ( ＋ and − ) when hooking up your connectors. * If ＋ and − of wiring are mistaken, it will damage, ignite and explode.

ŃůƌƑƎŃƓƕƒƆƈƇƘƕƈŃŋŷŔśŶŽŒŵŚœœśŶťŌ Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start operation, the receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter to which it is being paired. Once the link is made, the ID code is stored in the receiver and no further linking is necessary unless the receiver is to be used with another transmitter. When you purchase additional R7008SB receivers, this procedure is necessary; otherwise the receiver will not work. ůƌƑƎŃƓƕƒƆƈƇƘƕƈ 1.

S.Bus servo S.BUS servo setting An S.BUS(2) servo can memorize the channel and various settings you input. Servo setting can be performed on the T18SZ screen by wiring the VHUYR DV VKRZQ LQ WKH ¿JXUH * With some S.BUS(2) servos, there are some functions which cannot be used. If a function cannot be used, the display screen will change. (Only the function which can be used by a servo is displayed.
S.BUS Servo Description of function of each parameter *There are functions that can and cannot be performed according to the servo type. • ID Displays the ID of the servo whose parameters are to be read. It cannot be changed. • Channel Channel of the S.BUS system assigned to the servo. Always assign a channel before use. • Reverse The direction in which the servo rotates can be changed. • Soft Start Restricts operation in the specified direction the instant the power is turned on.
• Boost ON/OFF OFF : It is the boost ON at the time of low-speed operation.(In the case of usual) ON : It is always the boost ON.(When quick operation is hope) • Damper The characteristic when the servo is stopped can be set. When smaller than the standard value, the characteristic becomes an overshoot characteristic. If the value is larger than the standard value, the brake is applied before the stop position. Especially, when a large load is applied, overshoot, etc.

This allows use for switching during training. ŏ Select [Throttle hold] at the model menu and call the setup screen shown below. ŏ Since throttle hold has 2 modes (Cut) and (Idle), using it in the Idling mode during training and in the Cut mode when stopping the engine at contest, etc.
Swash mixing The swash mix function is used to correct the swash plate in the aileron (roll) direction and elevator (cyclic pitch) corresponding to each operation of each condition. Adjustment by independent curve for aileron, elevator, and pitch operations is possible. The operation can be smoothly adjusted by calling up the “Curve setup” screen by tapping the mixing item that corresponds to the mixing and direction which needs correction.
Throttle mixing This function corrects slowing of engine speed caused by swash plate operation during aileron or elevator operation. The method of applying clockwise or counterclockwise torque when pirouetting can also be corrected.

An acceleration function which temporarily increases the correction rate at throttle stick acceleration/deceleration operation can be set. The mixing rate at acceleration/deceleration can be set.
Gyro [Helicopter] This function is used to adjust gyro sensitivity. The sensitivity and operation mode (Normal mode/ AVCS mode) can be set for each condition. The gyro sensitivity can be switched with each condition or the switch. (3 sensitivities) *Compatible with 3 axis gyro (CGY750). ŏ Select [Gyro] at the model menu and call the setup screen.

Tapping here will let you select either Normal or AVCS. Because the sensitivity is switched (Sngl) per condition, Rate 2 and Rate 3 are not used.
Governor When using a Futaba governor, this function is used to switch the RPM of the helicopter's head. Up to 3 rates can be set for each condition. *The governor is used by connecting the governor speed setting channel to CH7 (initial setting). *When using an independent governor [ON]/[OFF] switch, connect the AUX([ON]/[OFF]) connector of the governor to CH8 (initial setting) and set the switch to CH8 (Governor2) at the Function menu of the Linkage menu.
