MT-4S 2.4GHZ FH4T RADIO SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE general The spring tension of the throttle trigger and steering wheel can be adjusted to best suit the user. Some users may prefer the throttle trigger and/or steering wheel to feel 'firmer' and some users may prefer them to feel 'softer'. It all depends on your personal preference. To adjust the throttle trigger spring tension, follow the step below: 1) To increase the spring tension of the throttle trigger (firmer), use a 1.5mm hex wrench to turn the Throttle Trigger Tension Adjustment Screw (A) clockwise. To decrease the spring tension of the throttle trigger (looser), turn the Throttle Trigger Tension Adjustment Screw counter-clockwise. To adjust the steering wheel spring tension, follow the step below: 1) To increase the spring tension of the steering wheel (firmer), use a 1.5mm hex wrench to turn the Steering Wheel Tension Adjustment Screw (A) clockwise. To decrease the spring tension of the steering wheel (looser), turn the Steering Wheel Tension Adjustment Screw counter-clockwise. general steering wheel travel adjustment The maximum right and left travel of the steering wheel can be adjusted to best suit the feel of the steering wheel and your driving style. Some drivers prefer to limit the travel of the steering wheel as it makes them feel more 'connected' to their model. To adjust the maximum travel of the steering wheel, follow the steps below: 1) Remove the foam steering wheel grip from the steering wheel by firmly pulling it straight off. 2) To limit the maximum travel of the steering wheel, use a 1.5mm hex wrench to turn both grub screws (A) clockwise equally the desired amount. To maximize the travel of the steering wheel, turn both grub screws counter-clockwise equally the desired amount. After making steering wheel travel adjustments, you must use the Variable Rate Adjustment function to ensure your steering servo travel limits are equal. For more information, see the Variable Rate Adjustment section on page XX. Limiting the maximum travel of the steering wheel will increase the sensitivity of the steering. We recommend setting negative Exponential to soften the control feel around Neutral. For more information, see the Exponential and ARC Adjustment section on pages XX through XX. general wrist strap anchor A wrist strap anchor is included that can be installed onto the transmitter to facilitate the use of a wrist strap (not included). To install the wrist strap anchor, follow the steps below: 1) Remove the self-tapping screw (A) from the transmitter, using a # 1 philips head screwdriver. 2) Slide the wrist strap anchor into the mounting slot in the back of the transmitter, then reinstall and tighten the self-tapping screw. When installing the wrist strap anchor, note its orientation. The U-Shaped groove in the base of the wrist strap anchor should be pointing down. 13 GENERAL throttle trigger and steering wheel spring tension adjustment MT-4S 2.4GHZ FH4T RADIO SYSTEM USER'S GUIDE general Top screen and telemetry screen overview Use the information in this section to familiarize yourself with the layout and different indicators and displays that comprise the TOP screen and TELEMETRY screen.

Several different setting 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 moves to the Brake Side to engage the brakes and stop your model. If you're driving a gas- or glow-powered boat, the Fail Safe function could be set to lower the throttle to idle and turn the rudder slightly left or right so that the boat will continue in slow circles. In addition, a Receiver Battery Voltage Fail Safe function is available which allows you to set a custom voltage that the IMPORTANT: The Fail Safe function will NOT OPERATE if the receiver loses power. It will operate only if the transmitter and receiver signal is interrupted or if the transmitter loses power. Setting the Fail Safe Fail Safe settings can be programmed for each of the four channels individually. In addition, Fail Safe settings are Modelspecific, meaning you can have different Fail Safe settings for each Model in memory. 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.

Adjusting the High and Low Tweak values determines how far and in which direction the Auxiliary servo travels when the Auxiliary Lever is moved Up and Down. For example, if you assign AUX2 to the Auxiliary Lever and adjust the Tweak values to +50 and -50, the Auxiliary 2 servo will be centered when the Auxiliary Lever is centered and will travel 50% in one direction when the Auxiliary Lever is moved Up and travel 50% in the other direction when the Auxiliary Lever is moved Down. This allows you to use the Auxiliary Lever like a 2- or 3-position switch. In addition, the Auxiliary Lever can be used to control the same parameter functions as the Trim Switches and the Rotary Dial. For example, if you assign TRIM-ST and adjust the Tweak values to +100 and -100, the Auxiliary Lever will control Steering channel Trim.

The default setting is -100. 04.Trim type (Trim type) The Trim Type function allows you choose the way servo Trim and servo End Point Adjustments interact with each other. When you apply Trim to a servo, the Neutral point of the servo shifts toward the High Side or the Low Side. When you do this, the servo travels less in one direction and more in the other direction because the servo End Points are stationary. In order to balance the servo travel, you would need to manually readjust the servo End Points. Using the Trim Type function allows you to make the servo End Points shift toward the High Side or the Low Side when you apply Trim. This maintains balanced servo travel without the need to manually readjust the servo End Points. CENTER - When selected, servo End Points are stationary.

In the default configuration, the Throttle Type is set to F70:B30. This Throttle Type shifts the throttle Neutral point toward the Brake Side, resulting in more servo travel toward the High Side and less servo travel toward the Brake Side. Some users may prefer the proportion between Throttle High Side servo travel and Throttle Brake Side servo travel to be balanced (F50:B50). The F70:B30 Throttle Type is most common for general use and racing, while the F50:B50 Throttle Type is most common for Rock Crawling.
