CAUTION:
If you access the Telemetry menu from the
Function List, you may see a Frame Loss appear when you
exit the menu. The Frame Loss is not an error, but there will be a
momentary loss of radio signal when exiting the Telemetry screen.
DO NOT
access the Telemetry menu during flight.
The Preflight Setup menu option enables you to program a pre-flight
checklist that appears each time you power on the transmitter or
when you select a new model memory. Each item on the list must be
confirmed before you can access the Main Screen.
The Frame Rate menu enables you to change the frame rate and
modulation mode. Select the option you wish to change and press
the scroll wheel.
You must use digital servos if you select 11ms frame rate. Analog
and digital servos can be used with a 22ms frame rate.
Modulation Mode
We recommend using DSMX
®
(default) modulation mode. When
DSMX is active, the transmitter operates in DSMX with DSMX
receivers and DSM2* with DSM2
®
receivers. The transmitter
automatically detects DSM2 or DSMX during binding and changes
the mode accordingly to match the receiver type you are using.
If you select DSM2, the transmitter operates in DSM2 regardless of
whether it is bound to a DSM2 or DSMX receiver.
*DSM2 is not available in the EU.
NOTICE:
While DSMX allows you to use more than 40
transmitters simultaneously, do not use more than 40 transmitters
simultaneously when using a DSM2 receiver or a transmitter in
DSM2 mode.
NOTICE:
For EU versions, DSM2 operation is not available.
The Bind menu enables you to bind a transmitter and receiver
without powering off the transmitter. This menu is helpful if you are
programming a model and need to bind the receiver for failsafe
positions.
See “
Programming Failsafe Positions
” for more information.
