information on binding a receiver please refer to pag-

The warning “BIND. n/v” just described is now fol-•
lowed for a few seconds by this warning …

If the warning …•

tered in the “Motor at Ch1” or “Collective pitch min.”
section of the “Basic settings” menu, as described
on pages 56 and 67. If you are setting up a non-pow-
ered fi xed-wing model, enter “none” or “none/inv” at
this point; this disables the throttle warning message,
and makes available the “Brake ¼ NN *“ mixers in
the “Wing mixers” menu, which would otherwise be
suppressed; you should also do this if you wish to
use servo socket 1 for the second fl ap servo.
If the transmitter’s model memories are already occu-•
pied, then a pictogram of the selected model type ap-
pears in the appropriate model memory, followed by
press the central SET button of the right-hand four-way
button briefl y in confi rmation. This initialises the chosen
model type for the model memory you have just se-
lected, and you can now start programming your model
in this memory.
It is now only possible to change this memory to a dif-
ferent model type if you fi rst erase the model memory
(“Model memory” menu, page 52).
Notes:
If you wish to erase the model memory which is cur-•
rently active in the basic display, you will have to de-
fi ne one of the two model types “fi xed-wing” or “heli-
copter” immediately after completing the erase
procedure. You cannot avoid making this choice by
switching the transmitter off. If you wish to remove
a model memory which you inadvertently occupied,
you can simply erase it from a different model mem-
ory.
However, if you erase a model memory which is not
currently active, after the procedure you will see the
memory marked as “
ÄÄfreeÄÄ” under Model Se-
lect.
After the selected model memory has been initial-•
ised with your preferred basic model type, the screen
shifts to the newly reserved model memory. At the
same time the following warning appears for a few
seconds …

… as an indication that this memory has not yet been
bound to a receiver
. A brief press of the central SET
button of the right-hand four-way button takes you di-

a blank line, or the model’s name if a name has al-
ready been entered in the “Basic settings” menu
(pages 56 and 64), together with an indicator that the
memory is bound to a receiver, if appropriate.
If the battery voltage is too low, the software prevents •
you switching model memories in the interests of
safety. In this case the screen displays this message:
not possible now
voltage too low
Basically there are now four different options for assign-
ing the four control functions aileron, ele
vator, rudder
and throttle / airbrakes (fi xed-wing model), and roll,
pitch-axis, tail rotor and throttle / collective pitch (model
helicopter) to the two primary dual-axis sticks. Which of
these options is adopted depends on the personal pref-
erence of the individual model pilot. This function is set
in the “Stick mode” line for the currently active model
memory in the “Basic settings” menu (page 56 or 64):

As mentioned earlier, for maximum fl exibility the trans-
mitter controls 5 and 6 are by def
ault not assigned to
transmitter controls, and can be assigned to any chan-
nels you like; this also helps to avoid accidental mishan-
dling.
This means that in the default state of the equipment
only those servos connected to receiver outputs 1
… 4 can usually be controlled by the two dual-axis
