COMMON SYSTEM SETUP FUNCTIONS
SYSTEM SETUP

Model Select

Using the Model Select function, you can change to a different
model memory.
Direct Model Access
Press the Clear and Back buttons from the Main Screen or a
telemetry screen to access Model Select.

Model Type

Model Type programs the selected model memory to func-
tion in Airplane (ACRO), Helicopter (HELI), or Sailplane (SAIL)
programming. Always choose model type before doing any other
programming for a model. Each model memory can be either
ACRO, HELI or SAIL.
NOTICE: All settings for a model are lost if Model Type is
changed in this screen. When you change Model Type, all cur-
rent programming in the selected model memory will reset to the
factory default settings.

Model Name

Naming a model is normally done during initial setup. Name
a model memory in the Model Name Screen using up to 20
characters (a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers and
symbols) to identify a model.
You can modify or change names at any time without affecting
other programming.

F-Mode Setup

Use the Flight Mode Setup function to set up switches to activate
flight modes, assign mixes or assign channel outputs to a single
switch.
Mode Number of Switches
Aircraft 2
Heli 3 (including Throttle Hold)
Sailplane Flight Mode Setup
In Flight Mode Setup, you can program up to ten flight modes
to be assigned to any switch or combination of switches, using
up to four switches. Switch priority can be assigned such that
when that switch is in the priority position that flight mode is
active no matter what positions the other switches are in. Within
the Custom Flight Modes for sailplanes, is a Flight Mode Table.
Using this, you can employ any combination of switches to select
any of the flight modes. You can set up to 10 flight modes with
any combination of switches, using up to 4 switches.
Flight mode positions may be assigned to switches on your
transmitter. When switch 1 is in positions 0 or 2, the default
table is programmed to return the same value (0 or 2) for all

positions of switch 2. When switch 1 is in position 1, then the
table returns different positions for each position of switch 2. If
you wish to change the operation, use the Custom mode. This
will allow you to store up to 10 different flight mode values in
the table. Assign switches logically, first Switch 1, then Switch 2.
The values generated are based on table entries. You determine
which entries you get by your selection of switches. It is permis-
sible for there to be a gap - this is a result of which switches are
selected. You may rename, also. You may specify two different
things as independent entities: the switch and the position of the
switch.
