Program description - Flight phase timers
Fl. phase timers
Selecting and setting
This option is available as standard on
both transmitter types.
A description of how timers are assigned
to a flight phase has already been provid-
ed in the text for the »Phase settings« menu, page
152 and 156. The same section has also described
the properties of “Time1” and “Time2”. This section
now proceeds to describe “Timer 1, 2 and 3” and the
“lap counter/time table” timer variants.
The additional, flight phase-specific timer selected is
displayed on the basic display underneath the “cen-
ter” timer, as shown below:

Use the selection keys of the left or right four-way but-
ton to scroll to the »Fl. phase timer« menu option in
the Multi-function menu:

On this menu you can now program “Clks 1 … 3” as
stopwatches (i. e. timers that run forward) or as count-
down/alarm timers (i. e. timers that run backwards).
You can assign any switch to these timers, and the
same is true of the “lap counter/timetable” timer:

The flight phase timers “Timer 1 … 3” and the
“Time1”/”Time2” timers (described in the »Phase
settings« section, pp. 152 and 156) run only in the
flight phase to which they have been assigned. They
are also shown as appropriate on the basic display.
During other flight phases they are stopped (and hid-
den) and the assigned stop/start switch then has no
effect.
The lap counter, once started, continues to run
through changes of phase (as discussed further
below), however, although it can be stopped during
any flight phase via the center ESC key of the left
four-way button.
Clks 1, 2 and 3
These timers are started and stopped via a switch or
control switch. To do so, first use the selection keys
to select the appropriate column via the switch icon
at the bottom right. Then set the switch that you want
by briefly tapping the center SET key of the right
four-way button, as described in the section „Physi-
cal control, switch and control switch assignments“
on page 68. Here, too, a control switch offers you
the option of activating the timer via one of the sticks
or proportional controls. The switching point along
the transmitter control travel is set on the »Control
switch« menu, page 145.
Remember that the timer switches also remain active
in programming mode.
Switching between “forwards” and “backwards”
Stopwatch mode (timer runs forwards)
In this mode, the timer starts at the initial value “0:00”
(min:sec) when you operate the assigned switch. If it
reaches the maximum time of 180 min. and 59 s, it will
re-start at “0:00”.
“Countdown” (timer runs backwards)
Following the activation of the corresponding value
fields (by tapping the center SET key of the right four-
way button), if a time in minutes (maximum 180 min)
and/or a time in seconds (maximum 59 s, right field) is
set, then the timers will run backwards from this initial
value following the activation of the assigned switch
(see section „Physical control, switch and control
switch assignments“ on page 68), i. e. a “count-
down” function will apply. Once the timer reaches zero
it does not stop, however, but continues to run (high-
lighted) so you can read off the time elapsed after
reaching zero.
Note:
Timers that are running backwards are shown on the
basic display with a flashing colon (:) between the
minutes and the seconds fields.
A simultaneous tap on the or  keys of the
right four-way button (CLEAR) will reset entry values
in the currently active field back to zero.
