Timer
If you push either DATA button, you will enable the radio's timer
mode.
The word "TIMER" appears on the screen as well as a number
indicating the starting countdown time (which you can set in the
Initial Setup menu). If you push the right hand CURSOR button,
the timer will start counting down and the numbers will diminish in
one-second increments. Push it again and the countdown stops.
Pushing the left hand CURSOR button resets the timer.
Lock Indicator Screen
When you push the Lock button to hold the throttle at an idle,
the word "LOCK" appears in a black box above the voltage value.
When you push the lock button again, this symbol disappears to
indicate that you have disabled the function.
Receiver-Servo Connection List
Transmitter Displays and Messages
The table below shows where the aircraft's servos should plug into a six-channel receiver. Note that some functions shown will not operate
until they are activated in the transmitter. The standard function is listed first for each channel.
When you first turn on your transmitter, the first screen shown
below appears on the LCD display. Before flying, or even starting
the engine,
BE SURE that the model number appearing next to the voltage
matches the model that you are about to fly! If you don't, reversed
servos and incorrect trims will lead to an immediate crash.
If you press timer or engine cut or lock keys, you go directly to
those functions regardless of the display.
This screen appears whenever you turn on the transmitter without
pushing any other buttons.
The model number currently enabled is the small number just to
the right of the battery voltage and the programming baseline for
this model (ACRO, GLID or HELI) is shown in the upper left hand
corner.
In the center bottom of the screen "NOR" appears in a small black
box indicating that the transmitter is in the "Normal" flight mode
condition.

"SW-1" switch
Depending on the initial set-up base-line programming you have
selected, this switch can be used to lower landing gear; operate
the throttle of an electric motor (as on a powered glider); or select
a flight condition mode.
"SW-2" switch
This is your "Dual-rate" switch: The "0" position typically selects
the full rate of movement of the aileron, elevator and rudder while
the "1" position selects the diminished rate you have programmed
in the model setup menu. The exponential values for these control
surfaces (explained below) are also selected by this switch.
"SW-3 FLT MODE" switch
This switch allows you to choose three different "flight condition
modes"-an advanced programming function explained below.
"Eng Cut"/"Trainer" switch
If you've activated the engine cut function in the model setup menu
programming, this button serves as the kill-switch for your motor.
Otherwise, it functions as the trainer switch when your transmitter
is linked via a cable to a second transmitter to act as a "buddy box"
for flight training.
As long as you hold down the training button the buddy box will
be flying the model-let go of the button and your transmitter reverts
to being the master.
Trim switches
Use these switches to make small offset adjustments to the
servos controlled by the two joysticks.
Any adjustments will be "memorized" for this particular model
so you won't have to re-trim every time you fly.
Joystick
Again assuming the "Mode 2" configuration, this stick controls the
rudder (left and right) and the throttle (forward and back-back is off
for electric motors and idle for glow). If you have selected "GLID"
as the transmitter's programming baseline in the initial setup menu
than the stick's forward and back movement controls the ailerons
and flaps for the model's descent control (called "CROW").
Right-hand joystick
Left-hand joystick
Assuming you have selected "Mode 2" in the initial setup menu
(the most common control arrangement in North America),
this stick controls the elevator (forward is down and back toward
you is up) and the ailerons (left and right).
