10 <Before Use>BEFORE USE FEATURES FASSTest systemThe T18MZ transmitter adopted the newly developed bidirectional communication system "FASSTest".Data from the receiver can be checked at the transmitter. FASSTest is a maximum 18 channels (linear 16 channels + switch 2 channels) 2.4GHz dedicated system.S.BUS2 systemBy using the S.BUS2 system multiple servos and gyros and sensors of the newly increased bidirectional system can be easily and cleanly wired without any mistakes.WindowsCET18MZ utilizes the world famous Microsoft Windows CE, which offers outstanding dependability and valuable resources.Color LCDT18MZ has a HVGA (640x240 pixels) wide screen full color LCD.

23<Before Use>SD Card (sold separately) SD card can store various files, such as model data, music, sound and pictures. SD card on the market can be used for T18MZ. The card is locked when it is pushed in all the way. When removing the card, release the lock by pushing in the card again.WarningBe sure to turn off the power to the transmitter before inserting or removing the SD card.As the SD card is a precision device, do not use excessive force when inserting.If model data generated by a new software version transmitter is copied to an old software version transmitter, the transmitter may operate erroneously. Copy the model data after updating the copy destination transmitter to the new software version.Read data from a PC6DYLQJPXVLFDQGLPDJHILOHVHGLWHGE\D3&into the SD card, you can use those files on your T18MZ transmitter. Equipment for reading and writing SD cards are available at most electronics stores.Stored dataThe life of the SD card is limited due to the use of Flash memory. When you have a problem of saving or reading data such as picture data after a long period of use, please get a new SD card.*We do not have the responsibility of compensating any failure or damage to the data stored in the memory card no matter what the reason is. Be sure to keep the backup of your important data in your SD card.*No necessity for backup; T18MZ transmitters and SD cards are using nonvolatile memory devices so that the data stored in those will not be destroyed even without a backup battery. The clock for the transmitter depends on the Lithium battery.Update SwitchWhen using an SD card to update the T18MZ software, set this switch to the up position. Then input the software to be updated to the SD card from the Futaba importers homepage and update the software in accordance with the updating procedure.USB port The following functions can be used with USB connector.86%0RXVH:KHQDPRXVHLVFRQQHFWHGDFXUVRUZLOODSSHDURQWKHVFUHHQDQGWKHPRXVHFDQEHXVHGLQVWHDGRIWKHWRXFKSDQHO86%.H\ERUG:KHQDNH\ERDUGLVFRQQHFWHGWKHPRGHOQDPHDQGRWKHUGDWDFDQEHLQSXWE\NH\ERDUG86%0HPRU\7KHPRGHOGDWDHWFFDQEHVDYHGWRDFRPPHUFLDO86%PHPRU\Connector for trainer function (TRAINER)When you use trainer function, connect the optional trainer cable between the transmitters for teacher and student.<RXFDQVHWWKHWUDLQHUIXQFWLRQRQWKH7UDLQHU)XQFWLRQscreen in the system menuConnector for DSC function (DSC)<RXFDQRSHUDWHWKHWUDQVPLWWHUZLWKRXWtransmitting radio waves by connecting the transmitter and the receiver to the DSC cable. 3OHDVHUHIHU WRWKHVHFWLRQ&RQQHFWLRQEHWZHHQ5HFHLYHUServo"S.BUS connector (S.I/F)When setting an S.BUS servo and telemetry sensor connect the servo and telemetry sensor here. 6XSSO\SRZHUE\ZD\KXERUZD\FRUGAudio plug (PHONE)Connecting a stereo headphone to this plug, you FDQHQMR\PXVLF¿OHVVWRUHGLQWKH6'FDUGConnector for battery charger (CHG)This is the connector for charging the battery LT2F3500XH that is installed in the transmitter.
