Transmit Shift —
SFT.N
,
SFT.P
For 72MHz North American Version.
The Transmit Shift function is used to change the shift direction of the Eclipse 7 system.
Hitec receivers use a negative shift direction for their transmissions. However, some other
brands of RC gear use positive shifting. With this menu, you can change the way your
transmitter broadcasts, so that it can address all types of PPM receivers. (PPM receivers are
also referred to as “FM” receivers.) The Eclipse 7 FM is not compatible with PCM receivers,
only with FM. Hitec/RCD and Futaba receivers that use negative shift (N), and JR and
Airtronics receivers that use positive shift (P)
If you choose the wrong shift direction for your receiver, the servos may move
erratically and will not respond to the transmitter, even if it is on the correct frequency. Turn
off your receiver at once and change the shift direction to preclude damage to your servos.
If you use a mixture of receiver brands, sure that it is set for the model of receiver you are
using in the current memory.
