62M12S 2.4GHZ FH4T RADIO CONTROL SYSTEM USER'S GUIDEEPA MENU {CHANNEL END POINT ADJUSTMENTS}SETUPThe End Point Adjustment function allows you to adjust servo travel in each direction. This makes it possible to balance servo travel in both directions and set the maximum desired amount of servo travel. For example, on a gas-powered Model, if you pull the Throttle Trigger and the carburetor does not open completely, you can Increase the Throttle High End Point Adjustment so that the carburetor opens completely. Another example is with Steering. If your Model turns sharper to the Right than to the Left, you can Increase the Steering Left End Point Adjustment to balance the Steering.The End Point Adjustment function can be adjusted for the Steering channel (Right and Left), the Throttle channel (High and Brake), the Auxiliary 1 channel (High and Low) and the Auxiliary 2 channel (High and Low).Before making End Point Adjustments, the servo horn needs to be centered. Install the servo horn onto the servo, making sure it's as close to being centered as possible, then use the Servo Sub-Trim function to center the servo arm exactly. For more information, see the SUB TRIM Menu section on page 63.Changing the Channel End Point Adjustment Percentage Values:1) From within the SETUP menu, scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the EPA menu.2) Press the ENTER key to open the EPA menu. The cursor will default to either ST > L100% or ST > R100%.3) Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the desired End Point Adjustment percentage value you would like to change.4) Press the ENTER key, then scroll UP or DOWN to Increase or Decrease the End Point Adjustment percentage value. Increasing the percentage value will Increase servo travel in that direction and Decreasing the percentage value will Decrease servo travel in the that direction.If you're using an Electronic Speed Control, the Throttle High and the Throttle Brake End Point Adjustment percentage values are both generally set to 100%, although the Throttle High direction may need to be increased to achieve full power. In some cases, Throttle and Brake End Point Adjustments can also be set directly via the Electronic Speed Control.5) Press the ENTER key, then repeat steps 3 and 4 to change any other desired End Point Adjustment percentage values.ST L and R setting range is 0% to 150%, TH H and B setting range is 0% to 150%, AUX1 H and L setting range is 0% to 150% and AUX2 H and L setting range is 0% to 150%. The default setting for all channels is 100%.End Point Adjustment percentage values should not be increased to the point where your linkages and servos Bind when moved all the way to the Right or Left. Binding will cause the servos to 'buzz', resulting in a quicker loss of receiver battery power and eventual damage to the servos or to your Model.
63M12S 2.4GHZ FH4T RADIO CONTROL SYSTEM USER'S GUIDETRSUB TRIM MENU {SERVO CENTERING}SETUPThe Sub-Trim function allows you to correct the Neutral Trim setting for the Steering, Throttle, Auxiliary 1 and Auxiliary 2 channels, making it possible to center the Trim Switches while ensuring the servo horns remain centered.It's not unusual that when you center a servo and install the servo horn, the servo horn is not exactly centered. The Sub-Trim function allows you to center the servo horn exactly, without altering the servo End Point travel. This is especially useful when using a Mix, such as Four Wheel Steering Mixing. For example, you can use the Sub-Trim function to adjust the Neutral Trim setting of your Front and Rear Steering servos independently to ensure your Model tracks straight.Before changing the Sub-Trim values you should set the Steering and Throttle Trim to 0% using the Trm1 and Trm2 Trim Switches.Changing the Servo Sub-Trim Values:1) Install the servo horn (or servo saver for the Steering servo) onto your servo, making sure that the servo horn (or servo saver) is as close to being centered as possible. In some cases, you can get the servo horn closer to being centered by rotating the servo horn 180º and reinstalling it.2) From within the SETUP menu, scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the SUB TRIM menu.3) Press the ENTER key to open the SUB TRIM menu. The cursor will default to ST > 0.4) Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the desired Sub-Trim value you would like to change.5) Press the ENTER key, then scroll UP or DOWN to Increase or Decrease the Sub-Trim value only enough to center the servo horn.6) Press the ENTER key, then repeat steps 4 and 5 to change any other desired Sub-Trim values.ST setting range is R150 to L150, TH setting range is H150 to B150, AUX1 setting range is H150 to L150 and AUX2 setting range is H150 to L150. The default setting for all channels is 0.IMPORTANT: Changing the Sub-Trim values will alter the servo's End Points. After changing the Sub-Trim values, use the End Point Adjustment function to Reset the servo End Point Adjustment Percentage Values. For more information, see the Changing the Channel End Point Adjustment Percentage Values section on the previous page.
64M12S 2.4GHZ FH4T RADIO CONTROL SYSTEM USER'S GUIDEREV MENU {SERVO REVERSING}SETUPThe Servo Reversing function allows you to electronically switch the direction of servo travel. For example, if you rotate the Steering Wheel to the Right, and the Steering servo moves to the Left, you can use the Servo Reversing function to make the Steering servo move to the Left. The Servo Reversing function is available for all four channels.When you change the direction of servo travel, the servo horn may no longer be centered. If this occurs, use the Servo Sub-Trim function to center the servo horn. For more information, see the Changing the Servo Sub-Trim Values section on the previous page.Changing the Servo Reversing Values:1) From within the SETUP menu, scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the REV menu.2) Press the ENTER key to open the REV menu.

The default setting for all channels is NOR.POINT AUX1 MENU {AUXILIARY 1 POINT VALUES}SETUPThe Point Auxiliary function allows you to program the Auxiliary 1 servo to move up to 6 different Points along its travel, then cycle through those Points using one of the Trim Switches or the Rotary Dial. For example, if your Model requires a separate 3-position or more switch to operate a feature, the Point Auxiliary function can be customized to control this. This section details how to change the actual Point values. For example, if you have 4 Points programmed, you can change the Point values to cycle your servo from 0 to 20 to 40 to 60 degrees and back again.Use one of the five Trim Switches or the Auxiliary Dial to cycle through the Point Positions while you're driving. The Auxiliary Lever is not suitable for use in this situation. The Point Auxiliary function can be toggled OFF and ON while you're driving by Assigning AUX1 to one of the three Push-Button Switches.Prior to programming the Auxiliary 1 Point values, you must first change the Auxiliary Channel Operating Mode to POINT, then choose the number of Points you want to program. For more information, see the AUX TYPE Menu section on pages 41 ~ 42.The Step value for the Auxiliary Dial or Trim Switch should be set to 1, otherwise the transmitter won't cycle properly through the programmed Points.

The default setting is 5S.F /S {FAIL SAFE}SETUPThe Fail Safe function automatically moves the servos to a predetermined position in the event that the signal between the transmitter and the receiver is interrupted, whether due to signal degradation or to low transmitter battery.Several different options are available. The Fail Safe function can be set to HOLD the servos in the last position they were in when the signal was lost or each of the servos can be set to move to a custom position when the signal is lost. For example, the Throttle servo (or ESC) can be programmed to move toward the Brake Side to engage the Brakes and stop your Model, or, if you're driving a gas- or glow-powered boat, the Fail Safe function could be set to Lower the Throttle servo (or ESC) to idle and turn the rudder slightly Left or Right so that the boat will continue in slow circles.Fail Safe settings can be programmed for each of the four channels individually. In addition, Fail Safe settings are Model-specific, meaning you can have different Fail Safe settings for each of your Models. The Fail Safe settings will be retained even if the transmitter loses power or if the transmitter and receiver must be paired again.Three Fail Safe options are available for each channel as described below:FREE - Fail Safe is Disabled for this channel. Servos can move freely when the signal is lost.HOLD - When Fail Safe Activates, the servo will be held in the last position it was in when the signal was lost.% (PERCENTAGE) - When Fail Safe Activates, the servo will travel to the programmed position when the signal is lost.WARNING: The Fail Safe function will NOT OPERATE if the receiver loses power. For example, if the receiver battery were to die or come unplugged. It will operate only if the transmitter and receiver signal is interrupted or if the transmitter loses power.
