This switch does more than just turn the radio on and off-it also gets you into the initial setup programs when you hold down the two "EDIT"
buttons as you slide the switch from "off" to "on".
When you turn off the switch after making selections in the initial setup menu, you "lock" your choices into the radio for this particular model
slot. The switch is coupled to the light located a couple of inches above it-it comes on when the switch comes on and goes off when the
switch is turned.
This pair of buttons has three basic functions: they get you into the initial setup menu when you hold both EDIT buttons down and then turn
on the radio; they get you into the model setup menu when you push both down when the radio is already on; and once you are in either of
these menus pushing one button scrolls you up or down through the list of menu items.
"EDIT" buttons
When you are in a particular menu item, you'll use these two buttons to scroll within it-most commonly to the right or left to select a servo
channel. When not in the programming mode, these buttons start, stop and reset the radio's countdown timer.
"CURSOR" buttons
As the "+" and "-" symbols imply, these buttons allow you to change a numerical value (most often a % value of servo travel) up or down
within a menu item. When not in the programming mode either of these buttons enable the countdown timer.
"DATA" buttons
This button is primarily a safety feature for powered models: When you push this button down the throttle channel on the model is taken
off-line so that an accidental movement of the throttle stick won't change the setting. Get in the habit of using this function whenever you are
carrying your model to the flight line.
"LOCK" button
You can use the clear button whenever you want to reset a numerical value to its starting point. It is also used in one of the menu screens
(the P MIX TRM) to turn a function on or off.
