KEY INPUT AND DISPLAY FUNCTIONS

The DX8 2.4 features advanced digital trims. The Main screen displays the
graphic position for the trims. The Throttle Aileron, Elevator, and Rudder trim
levers, and when activated the right and left trimmers, feature an audible center
trim beep and a pause. You can adjust the amount of travel per each trim in the
Trim Step Function, located in System Setup Mode. See page 16 for more details.
Note:
When the transmitter is turned off, the trims and left and right
trimmer values are stored in memory and recalled when the system is
turned back on.
INACTIvITY WARNING
The DX8 features an inactivity warning that warns if the transmitter is left on
preventing draining the batteries. If the transmitter is left on and no input is given
to the sticks or switches for 10 minutes, an alarm will sound and warning screen
appear. Moving any stick or switch will clear the alarm. Normal RF modulation
continues throughout the alarm maintaining the RF link.

The DX8 features a No RF output warning. If the 2.4GHz band is full, it’s possible
that the DX8 may not be able to find open channels when the transmitter is first
turned on. If the transmitter finds no open channels a warning screen appears and
will remain until the transmitter is able to find two open channels and transmit.

or stick position when the transmitter is turned on. In Acro mode programmable
alarms include high throttle, gear and mid and land flap positions while in
helicopter mode warnings include high throttle, Stunt 1, Stunt 2, and Hold. If
any of these switches or throttle stick position is in an unsafe position when the
