Check the battery voltage as often as possible and try to charge the battery earlier. If the battery alarm makes a sound, land your aircraft immediately. Link procedure (T14SG/R7008SB) Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start operation, the receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter with which it is being paired. Once the link is made, the ID code is stored in the receiver and no further linking is necessary unless the receiver is to be used with another transmitter. When you purchase additional R7008SB receivers, this procedure is necessary; otherwise the receiver will not work. Link procedure 1. Place the transmitter and the receiver close to each other within half (0.5m) meter. 6. When changing battery fail-safe voltage from the initial value 3.8V, voltage is changed here. * Only in FASSTest Mode. Less than 0.5 m 2. Turn on the transmitter. 3. Select [SYSTEM] at the Linkage menu and access the setup screen shown below by touching the RTN button. :You can do this through the LINKAGE Menu and scroll to System and press RTN. 4. When you use two receivers on one model, you must change from [SINGLE] to [DUAL]. *O nly t wo re c e iv e rs c a n be u sed. I n "DUAL", two setting items come out. Input, respectively. ID of a Primary receiver displays. ID of a Secondary receiver displays. In DUAL, a primary receiver is link previously. Next, a secondary receiver is link. 5. "F" will be chosen if it is used in France. others "G" general. 7.[LINK] is chosen by scrolling and the RTN button is pushed. The transmitter will emit a chime as it starts the linking process. 8. When the transmitter starts to chime, power on the receiver. The receiver should link to the transmitter within about 1 second. In "Link" Mode Receiver ON 9. If linking fails, an error message is displayed. Bring the transmitter closer to the receiver and repeat the procedure above from Step 2. 10. ACT will be chosen if telemetry is used. It is INH when not using it. 37 11. When a telemetry function is enabled, the receiving interval (down-link interval) of sensor data can be changed. If a DL interval is increased, the response of the sensor data display becomes slower, but stick response will improve. Initial value: 1.0s Adjustment range: 0.1s~2.0s * If there are many FASSTest systems turned on around your receiver, it might not link to your transmitter. In this case, even if the receiver's LED stays solid green, unfortunately the receiver might have established a link to one of other transmitters. This is very dangerous if you do not notice this situation. In order to avoid the problem, we strongly recommend you to doublecheck whether your receiver is really under control by your transmitter by giving the stick input and then checking the servo response. *Do not perform the linking operation when the drive motor is connected or the engine is running. * When you use two receivers, please be sure to setup a "primary" and "secondary" in the "dual" mode. *Since two sets of receivers cannot be individually recognized without using a "primary" and "secondary" setup, it is impossible to receive telemetry data correctly. * You must link one receiver at a time. If both power supplies to the receivers are switched on simultaneously, data is received incorrectly by the transmitter. * If a dual receiver function is used, in order to receive sensor information correctly by both sets, telemetry data will be slower compared to a single receiver setup. * You cannot link three receivers. * Link is required when a system type is changed. * Linking is required whenever a new model is made. * Link is required when a system type is changed. Warning After the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check that the receiver to be linked is really under the control of the transmitter. Do not perform the linking procedure with motor's main wire connected or with the engine operating as it may result in serious injury. 38 Range Testing Your R/C System It is extremely important to range check your models prior to each flying session. This enables you to ensure that everything is functioning as it should and to obtain maximum enjoyment from your time flying. The T14SG transmitter incorporates a system that reduces its power output and allows you to perform such a range check. Range check mode Range check procedure We have installed a special "Range check mode" for doing a ground range check. To access the "Range check mode" touch and hold the RTN button while turning on the transmitter. Doing so will bring up POWER MODE menu. 1. With the "Range check mode" on, walk away from the model while simultaneously operating the controls. Have an assistant stand by the model to confirm that all controls are completely and correctly operational. You should be able to walk approximately 30-50 paces from the model without losing control. 2. If everything operates correctly, return to the model. Set the transmitter in a safe, yet accessible, location so it will be within reach after starting the engine or motor. Be certain the throttle stick is in the low throttle position, then start the engine or motor. Perform another range check with your assistant holding the aircraft with the engine running at various speeds. If the servos jitter or move inadvertently, there may be a problem. We would strongly suggest you do not fly until the source of the difficulty has been determined. Look for loose servo connections or binding pushrods. Also, be certain that the battery has been fully charged. The present model To activate the "Range check mode" touch the RTN button and the range check mode screen will appear. During this mode, the RF power output is reduced so the range test can be performed. In addition, when this mode is activated the right LED on the front of the transmitter starts blinking and the transmitter gives users a warning with a beeping sound every 3 seconds. The "Range check mode" continues for 90 seconds and after that the power will return to the normal level. To exit the "Range check mode" before the 90 seconds, select the "RANGE CHECK" at the top of the screen and touch the RTN button again. This mode is available one time only so if you need to re-use this function the transmitter power must be cycled. NEVER start flying when the "Range check mode" is active. Should you require additional time to perform a range check, highlight Restart before your time expires and press the RTN button one time. Range checking on low power. About 100 feet Range check mode Warning Do not fly in the range check mode. *Since the range of the radio waves is short, if the model is too far from the transmitter, control will be lost and the model will crash. 39 RECEIVER AND SERVO INSTALLATION Receiver and servos connection Connect the receiver and servos in accordance with the connection diagram shown below. Always read the section [Before using]. When mounting the receiver and servos to the fuselage, connect the necessary points in accordance with the model's instruction manual.

Model addition and selection 3. Fuselage linkage Initially, the T14SG assigns the first model to model-01 in the transmitter. The Model Select function of the Linkage Menu is used to add models and to select amongst models which are already set. Connect the ailerons, elevators, throttle, rudder, etc. in accordance with the model's instruction manual. For a description of the connection method, see the Receiver and Servos Connection. The T14SG is capable of storing data for up to 30 models in its internal memory. Additional model data can also be saved to an optional SD card. The currently selected model name is displayed in the center of the home screen. Before flying and before changing any settings, always confirm the model name. When a new model is added, the Model type select screen and System mode setup screen automatically appear. Please be aware that the transmitter will stop transmitting temporarily when you change the model. When a new model is added, you will need to relink the receiver. Note that even for the same "airplane model", when the wing type and tail type are different, the channel assignment may be different. (The channel assigned to each function can be checked at the Function menu of the Linkage Menu.) ● If the direction of the servo is incorrect, adjust the direction with the Reverse function of the Linkage Menu. ● Adjust the neutral position and control surface angle with the linkage, and fine tune them with the Sub-Trim and End Point functions (angle adjustment). To protect the linkage, a limit position can also be set with the End Point function. The End Point function can adjust the amount of up/down and left/ right movement and limit of each channel. 2. Model type selection Select the model type matched to the aircraft with the Model Type select function of the Linkage Menu. For an airplane, select the model type from among the 2 types: airplane and glider. And then select the wing type and the tail type matched to the aircraft. 44 4. Throttle cut setting (Airplane) Throttle cut can be performed with one touch by a switch without changing the throttle trim position. Set throttle cut with the Throttle Cut function of the Linkage Menu. After activating the throttle cut function and selecting the switch, adjust the throttle position so that the carburetor becomes fully closed. For safety, the throttle cut function operates the throttle stick in the 1/3 or less (slow side) position. 5. Idle down setting (Airplane) The idling speed can be lowered with one touch by a switch without changing the throttle trim position. Perform this setting with the Idle Down function of the Linkage Menu. After activating the Idle Down function and selecting the switch, adjust the idle down speed. For safety, the idle down function acts only when the throttle stick is in the lowest part of its throw. *While the Throttle Cut function is in operation, the Idle Down function does not work. The offset amount of the aileron, elevator, and flap servos can be adjusted as needed. Also the speed of the aileron, elevator, and flap servos can be adjusted. You can also set the Auto Mode, which will link Airbrake to a stick, switch, or dial. A separate stick switch or dial can also be set as the ON/OFF switch. 8. Addition of flight conditions (Glider) The Condition Select function automatically allocates the normal condition (NORMAL) for each model. NORMAL is the default condition and is the only one active when a new model type is defined. If you want to add flight conditions, please refer to a description of the CONDITION function. 6. D/R function D/R function is used to adjust the throw and operation curve of the stick functions (aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle) for each switch position (airplane) or each flight condition (glider). This is normally used after the modeler has defined the maximum throw directions in the End Point settings. (Airplane) *The NORMAL is always on, and remains on until other conditions are activated by switches, stick positions, etc. Please refer to the section entitled Switch Selection Method for additional information on how to do so. *It is possible to customize the activation of the flight conditions. *The Condition Delay can be programmed for each channel. The Condition Delay is used to change the servo throw smoothly when switching conditions. (Glider) 7. Airbrake (Airplane) This function is used when an airbrake is necessary when taking off or diving, etc. Please note: this menu item is only available under certain wing configurations. For example, it will not appear if a single aileron wing type has been selected. The pre-set elevator and flap offset amount can be activated by a switch. 45 Helicopter basic setting procedure This section outlines examples of use of the helicopter functions of the T14SG. Adjust the actual values, etc. to match the fuselage used. 1. Model addition and selection Initially, the T14SG assigns the first model to model-01 in the transmitter. To add new models or to select a model already programmed, use the Model Select function of the Linkage Menu. This is convenient when selecting a model after entering the model's names in advance. The T14SG is capable of storing up to 30 models in the transmitter's internal memory. Additional models can also be stored in an optional SD card. The currently selected model is displayed in the middle of the screen. Before flying and before changing any settings, always confirm the model name. When a new model is added, the Model Type select screen and system mode setup screen automatically appear. Change, or check that they match the swash type and receiver type of the model used. When a new model is added, you will need to relink the receiver. 2. Model type and swash type selection If a different model type is already selected, select helicopter with the Model Type function of the Linkage Menu, and then select the swash type matched to the helicopter. functions for the chosen model type. Six swash types are available for helicopters. *For a description of the swash type selection, refer to the MODEL TYPE function. 3. Flight condition addition The transmitter offers up to five flight conditions per model. The Condition Select function automatically allocates five conditions for helicopters. (Initial setting) ● NORMAL ● IDLE UP1 (SW-E) ● IDLE UP2 (SW-E) ● IDLE UP3 (SW-F) ●HOLD (Hold switch is not assigned initially) Note: Since you may accidentally activate a condition that not previously setup during flight which could cause a crash, we suggest deleting conditions that are not used. *For a description of the condition deletion, refer to the Condition Select function. The NORMAL condition is always on, and remains on until other conditions are activated by switches. The priority is throttle hold/idle up 3/idle up 2/ idle up 1/normal. Throttle hold has the highest priority. The Condition Delay can be programmed for each channel and condition. The Condition Delay is used to change the servo throw smoothly when switching conditions. (General flight condition setting example) ● Normal: (Use initial setting conditions/operate when switch OFF) Use from engine starting to hovering. ● Idle up 1: (Operate at SW-E center) Use in stall turn, loop, and other maneuvers. ● Idle up 2: (Operate at SW-E forward side) *The Model Type function automatically selects the appropriate output channels, control functions, and mixing 46 Use in rolls. ● Throttle hold: (Operate at SW-G forward side) Use in auto rotation. 4. Servo Connection 5. Throttle/Pitch curve setting Connect the throttle rudder, aileron, elevator, pitch, and other servos in accordance with the kit instruction manual. For a description of the connection method, see "Receiver and Servos Connection". This function adjusts the throttle or pitch operation curve in relation to the movement of the throttle stick for each condition. Note: The channel assigned to each function can be checked at the Function menu of the Linkage Menu. Activate the throttle curve of each condition with the condition select switch. ● If the direction of operation of the servo is incorrect, use the Reverse function of the Linkage Menu. Also use the swash AFR function in other than the H-1 mode. ●Normal curve adjustment Normal curve creates a basic throttle curve centered near hovering. This curve is adjusted together with the pitch curve (Normal) so that the engine speed is constant and up/down control is easiest. ●Idle up curve adjustment The low side Throttle curve creates a curve matched for aerobatics (loop, roll, 3D, etc.). ●Throttle hold curve adjustment Confirm that the rate of the slowest position (0%) of the stick is 0% (initial setting). ● Adjust the direction of operation of the gyro. (Gyro side function) ● Connect the throttle linkage so that the carburetor can fully close at full trim throttle cut. ● Adjust the neutral position at the linkage side and fine tune with the Sub-Trim function and End Point function. To protect the linkage, a limit position can also be set with the End Point function. Activate the pitch curve of each condition with the condition select switch. ●Pitch curve (Normal) Make the pitch at hovering approximately +5º~6º. Set the pitch at hovering with the stick position at the 50% point as the standard. *Stability at hovering may be connected to the throttle curve. Adjustment is easy by using the hovering throttle function and hovering pitch function together. ●Pitch curve (Idle up 1) The idle up 1 pitch curve function creates a curve matched to airborne flight. Set to -7º~+12º as standard. ●Pitch curve (Idle up 2) The high side pitch setting is less than idle up 1. The standard is +8º. ●Pitch curve (Hold) At auto rotation, use the maximum pitch at both the high and low sides. ● Swash plate correction (Except H-1 mode) *If any interactions are noticed, for a description of the linkage correction function, please refer to the SWASH function. [Pitch angle setting example] Throttle hold: -7º~+12º 47 6. D/R function D/R function is used to adjust the throw and operation curve of aileron, elevator and rudder for each condition. *For throttle and pitch curve settings, refer to the aforementioned "Throttle/Pitch curve setting" This is normally used after End Point has defined the maximum throw directions. function from the Model Menu, and set the curve for each condition. (At initial setting, this function is in the "INH" state. To use it, set it to the "ON" state.) Activate the mixing curve of each condition with the condition select switch. A curve setting example is shown below. ●Pitch to RUD mixing curve (Normal) Use the hovering system and set this curve to match take off and landing and vertical climb at a constant speed. 7. Gyro sensitivity and mode switching The gyro sensitivity and mode switching function is utilized to adjust the gyro mixing of the model, and can be set for each condition. ●Pitch to RUD mixing (Idle up 1) Use this curve in stall turn, loop, and adjust it so the fuselage is facing straight ahead when heading into the wind. ●Pitch to RUD mixing (Hold) This function is set so that the fuselage is facing straight ahead at straight line auto rotation. The pitch of the tail rotor becomes nearly 0º. 9. Throttle hold setting ● Normal condition (hovering): Gyro sensitivity maximum ● Idle up 1/Idle up 2/Throttle hold: Gyro sensitivity minimum ● However, during auto rotations with a taildriven helicopter, this function may not have any effect on the high gyro sensitivity. 8. Pitch to RUD mixing setting Note: When using a Futaba GY Gyro, or other heading hold gyro, this Pitch to RUD mixing should not be used. The reaction torque is corrected by the gyro. When operating the gyro in the AVCS mode, the mixed signal will cause neutral deviation symptoms and the gyro will not operate normally. Use this function when you want to suppress the torque generated by the changes in the pitch and speed of the main rotor during pitch operation. Adjust it so that the nose does not swing in the rudder direction. However, when using a heading hold gyro like those shown above, do not use Pitch to rudder mixing. Activate the Pitch to rudder (Pit -->RUD) mixing 48 *If throttle hold is necessary, please refer to the THR HOLD function. 10. Throttle cut setting Throttle cut provides an easy way to stop the engine, by flipping a switch with the throttle stick at idle. The action is not functional at high throttle to avoid accidental dead sticks. The switch’s location and direction must be chosen, as it defaults to NULL. *With throttle stick at idle, adjust the cut position until the engine consistently shuts off, but throttle linkage is not binding. 11. Swash Mix corrects aileron, elevator and pitch interaction The swash mix function is used to correct the swash plate in the aileron (Left/Right Cyclic) and elevator (Forward/Aft Cyclic) direction corresponding to each operation of each condition. 12. Throttle mixing setting *If throttle mixing is necessary for a compensation for slowing of engine speed caused by swash plate operation during aileron or elevator operation, please refer to the THROTTLE MIX function. 13. Other special mixings ●Pitch to Needle mixing This mixing is used with engines with a design which allows needle control during flight (fuel-air mixture adjustment). A needle curve can be set. ●Governor mixing This mixing is dedicated governor mixing when a governor is used. 49 SYSTEM MENU The System Menu sets up functions of the transmitter: This does not set up any model data. ● Call the system menu shown below by touching the SYS button twice at the home screen, etc. ● Select [SYSTEM MENU] and return to the home screen by touching the RTN button.

The function and rate of each channel can be set, the training method can also be matched to the student's skill level. Two transmitters must be connected by an optional Trainer Cord, and the Instructors’ transmitter should be programmed for trainer operation, as described below. When the Instructor activates the trainer switch, the student has control of the aircraft (if MIX/ FUNC/NORM mode is turned on, the Instructor can make corrections while the student has control). When the switch is released the Instructor regains control. This is very useful if the student gets the aircraft into an undesirable situation. ● Setting data are stored to model data. ● Student rate can be adjusted at MIX/FUNC/ NORM mode. ● Activated student channels can be selected by switches. NOTE: This trainer system can be used in the following manner; 1. With the T14SG transmitter and a conventional transmitter, if the channel order is different, it is necessary to match the channel order before using this function. You can select the channel of input data from student's transmitter in the "FUNC" or "MIX" mode. 2. When the T14SG is used as the instructor’s transmitter, set the modulation mode of the student’s transmitter to PPM. If being used as the student, T14SG can be connected to the instructor's transmitter which the PPM mode as the student's modulation mode is required. T14SG always sends PPM mode signal from the trainer jack. 3. Be sure that all channels work correctly in both transmitters before flying.

It cannot be changed. • Channel Channel of the S.BUS system assigned to the servo. Always assign a channel before use. • Reverse The direction in which the servo rotates can be changed. • Servo type When “Retractable” is selected and the servo has been continuously stopped for 30 seconds, the dead band expands and unnecessary hold current due to external force is eliminated. When a new control signal enters, normal operation is resumed. When using the servo as a landing gear servo, select “Retractable”. Also adjust the servo travel to match the landing gear movement range. • Soft Start Restricts operation in the specified direction the instant the power is turned on. By using this setting, the first initial movement when the power is turned on slowly moves the servo to the specified position. • Stop Mode The state of the servo when the servo input signal is lost can be specified. The "Hold" mode setting holds the servo in its last commanded position even if using AM or FM system. • Smoother This function changes smoothness of the servo operation relative to stick movement changes. Smooth setting is used for normal flight. Select the "OFF" mode when quick operation is necessary such as 3D. • Neutral Offset The neutral position can be changed. When the neutral offset is large value, the servo's range of travel is restricted on one side. • Speed Control Speeds can be matched by specifying the operating speed. The speed of multiple servos can be matched without being affected by motor fluctuations. This is effective for load torques below the maximum torque. However, note that the maximum speed will not be exceed what the servo is capable of even if the servos operating voltage is increased. • Dead band The dead band angle at stopping can be specified. [Relationship between dead band set value and servo operation] Small → Dead band angle is small and the servo is immediately operated by a small signal change. Large → Dead band angle is large and the servo does not operate at small signal changes. (Note) If the dead band angle is too small, the servo will operate continuously and the current consumption will increase and the life of the servo will be shortened. • Travel Adjust The left and right travels centered about the neutral position can be set independently. • Boost The minimum current applied to the internal motor when starting the servo can be set. Since a small travel does not start the motor, it essentially feels like the dead band was expanded. The motor can be immediately started by adjusting the minimum current which can start the motor. [Relationship between boost set value and servo operation] Small → Motor reacts to a minute current and operation becomes smooth. Large → Initial response improves and output torque increases. However, if the torque is too large, operation will become rough. 65 • Boost ON/OFF OFF : It is the boost ON at the time of low-speed operation.(In the case of usual) ON : It is always the boost ON.(When quick operation is hope) • Damper The characteristic when the servo is stopped can be set. When smaller than the standard value, the characteristic becomes an overshoot characteristic. If the value is larger than the standard value, the brake is applied before the stop position. Especially, when a large load is applied, overshoot, etc. are suppressed by inertia and hunting may occur, depending on the conditions. If hunting (phenomena which cause the servo to oscillate) occurs even though the Dead Band, Stretcher, Boost and other parameters are suitable, adjust this parameter to a value larger than the initial value. [Relationship between damper set value and servo operation] Small → When you want to overshoot. Set so that hunting does not occur. Large → When you want to operate so that braking is not applied. However, it will feel like the servo response has worsened. (Note) If used in the hunting state, not only will the current consumption increase, but the life of the servo will also be shortened. • Stretcher The servo hold characteristic can be set. The torque which attempts to return the servo to the target position when the current servo position has deviated from the target position can be adjusted. This is used when stopping hunting, etc., but the holding characteristic changes as shown below. [Relationship between stretcher and servo operation] Small → Servo holding force becomes weaker. Large → Servo holding force becomes stronger. (Note) When this parameter is large, the current consumption increases. • Buzzer When the power supply of a servo is previously turned on at the time of a power supply injection without taking transmit of a transmitter, the buzzer sound of about 2.5 Hz continues sounding from a servo. (Even when the transmit of a transmitter is taken out previously, a buzzer becomes until the signal of a servo is outputted normally, but it is not unusual.) The transmitter has been turned OFF ahead of a servo power supply → The buzzer sound of about 1.25 Hz continues sounding as servo power supply end failure alarm. (Do not insert or remove the servo connector while the receiver power is ON. by incorrect recognition.) A buzzer may sound * Buzzer sound is generated by vibrating the motor of a servo. Since current is consumed and a servo generates heat, please do not operate the number more than needed or do not continue sounding a buzzer for a long time. 66 FUNCTIONS OF LINKAGE MENU The Linkage Menu is made up of functions which perform model addition, model type selection, system type, end point setting, and other model basic settings.

The system can be changed from among 5 choices: FASSTest 1 4 C H , FA S S Te s t 1 2 C H , FA S S T M U LT I , FASST 7CH, S-FHSS. It is FASSTest14CH and FASSTest12CH which can be chosen by R7008SB set. The method of selection is to the next page. *If you change the System Type, other model data is not reset. *If a system type is changed in Helicopter mode, the transmitter will offer two selections: [Yes] : Selection sets the channel order suitable for System Type. (We recommend here. ) [No] : The present channel order is maintained. *After any change, remember to test the model and should fully check servo direction and a motion. *Analog servos cannot be used with the R7008SB in the FASSTest 12CH mode. Dual receiver function (only FASSTest 14CH mode) Dual receivers can be linked with the T14SG. Two receivers are recognized individually by ID numbers. For example, in R7008SB, CH output setting function is used, by setting the first as as "1-8CH", and setting the second as "9-14CH", two sets of receivers can be used as a set in the model, allowing you 14 channels. If a Dual receiver function is used, the following function can set up individually. ・Battery fail-safe voltage setup ・Telemetry function ON/OFF ・Sensor setup ● Select [SYSTEM] in the Linkage menu and access the setup screen shown below by touching the RTN button. ● Select the function name and return to the Linkage menu by touching the RTN button. Or the HOME/EXIT button is pushed. Scrolling ● Moving cursor ● Selecting mode RETURN Area mode selection (Frequency range) The T14SG transmitter has been designed to function in many countries. If you will be utilizing this transmitter in a country other than France, please make sure that [AREA] is set to "G". If, however, this transmitter will be utilized in France, it must be set to "F" in order to comply with French regulations.FASST mode selection Receiver linking The receiver will only be controlled (without being affected by other transmitters) by the transmitter it is linked to. When using a receiver other than one purchased as a set, linking is necessary. Moreover, a re-link is required when a new model is added by model selection, and the time of system type change. Linking method P.37 Cases when linking is necessary: ・When using a receiver other than the initial setting. ・When the communication system was changed. (FASSTest14CH ↔ FASSTest12CH etc. ) ・When a new model was created by model selection. Battery fail-safe voltage setup (only FASSTest mode) The voltage which battery fail-safe activates, can be set when you link. (3.5-8.4V) The receiver memorizes the setting as it was at link. Suggested setting voltages are as follows. • 4 cells NiCd or NiMH (Normal: 4.8v) = 3.8 v • 2 cells LiFe (Normal: 6.6 v) = 6.0 ~ 6.2 v • 2 cells LiPo (Normal: 7.4 v) = 7.2 ~ 7.4 v It is a rough reference value. Since it changes with servos carried in the condition and the model of a battery, please set to your own model in a battery consumption current. 73 Telemetry function (FASSTest mode only) To use the telemetry function, set “Telemetry” to “ACT”. DL Interval (FASSTest mode only) When a telemetry function is enabled, the receiving interval (down-link interval) of sensor data can be changed.

Servo Reverse changes the direction of an individual servo’s response to a control input. For CCPM helicopters, be sure to read the section on Swash AFR before reversing any servos. With CCPM helicopters, always complete your servo reversing prior to any other programming. If you use pre-built Airplane/Sailplane functions that control multiple servos, it may be confusing to tell whether the servo needs to be reversed or a setting in the function needs to be reversed. See the instructions for each specialized function for further details. Always check servo direction prior to every flight as an additional precaution to confirm proper model memory, hook ups, and radio function. ● Select [REVERSE] in the Linkage menu and access the setup screen shown below by touching the RTN button. ● Select the function name and return to the Linkage menu by touching the RTN button.

(To terminate input and return to the original state, touch the S1 button.) *Repeat the operation above for each channel that must be reversed. 79 FAIL SAFE Sets the servos operating position when transmitter signals can no longer be received or when the receiver battery voltage drops. The Failsafe function may be used to set up positions that the servos move to in the case of radio interference. You may set either of two positions for each channel: Hold, where the servo maintains its last commanded position, or Failsafe, where each servo moves to a predetermined position. You may choose either mode for each channel. (FASST 7CH mode: CH3 only) The T14SG system also provides you with an advanced battery monitoring function that warns you when the receiver battery has only a little power remaining. In this case, each servo is moved to the defined failsafe position. (FASST 7CH mode: CH3 only) The battery failsafe may be released by operating a predefined control on the transmitter (default is throttle), do not continue to fly, land as soon as possible. Remember, if the predefined control suddenly moves to a position you did not command, land at once and check your receiver battery. Defines servo position when signals are lost and when receiver battery voltage becomes low. Warning For safety, always set the fail safe functions. ●Remember to set the throttle channel fail safe function so that the servo moves to the maximum slow side for airplanes and to the slow side from the hovering position for helicopters. Crashing of the model at full high when normal radio waves cannot be received due to interference, etc., is very dangerous. ●If the battery fail safe is reset by the throttle stick, it may be mistaken for an engine malfunction and will be reset at throttle slow and the model will continue to fly. If you have any doubts, immediately land. ● Select [FAIL SAFE] in the Linkage menu and access the setup screen shown below by touching the RTN button. (The display screen is an example. The screen depends on the model type.) ● Select the function name and return to the Linkage menu by touching the RTN button. Or the HOME/EXIT button is pushed. RETURN Fail safe setting procedure 1.
