Programming Window:

 The area in the LCD Display that the actual programming of the different transmitter functions takes place.

Push-Button Switch:

 The transmitter features three separate Push-Button Switches in different locations (Sw 1, Sw 2, and Sw 3). 

Each Push-Button Switch is programmable and will perform a different function depending on what function is assigned to it.

Scroll Key:

 Moves the Cursor backward in the Programming Window. Also used in the Help Display Area and to display the 

Information Window.

Servo Monitor:

 The Servo Monitor function displays the output levels of the four different channels in bar graph form, allowing you 

to monitor servo operation in a virtual manner. This allows you to see servo movement and make setting changes without having the 

receiver turned on, and when used in conjunction with the Display Switch, allows you to see servo movement and make setting 

changes without the transmitter transmitting a signal. Using the Servo Monitor function while making setting changes can make 

it easier to understand the setting changes you're making.

Servo Speed:

 Slows down the steering servo speed during use. When driving your model, proper steering is vital, and 

excessive steering is to be avoided at all times. The steering Speed setting helps to limit excessive steering, which will enable 

you to achieve smoother cornering. The Speed function can also be set on the Brake side of the throttle.

Servo Reversing:

 Electronically switches the direction of servo travel. For example, if you move 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.

SHR Mode:

 Super High Resolution mode. Using the SHR setting with Digital servos will increase the servo's response time, even 

above the manufacturer's stated speed. This setting has no influence when used with analog servos.

Starting Position:

 Used primarily with glow- or gas-powered models. It allows you to open the throttle a desired amount and hold 

it there with only the press of a button. This makes it easier to start the engine.  

Steering Dual Rate:

 Used to change the amount of steering servo travel compared to the amount of movement of the steering 

wheel. For example, by increasing the Steering Dual Rate, you can make the steering servo travel more which might prevent 

your model from pushing during turns. If your model oversteers during turns, you can reduce the amount of Steering Dual Rate.

Steering Wheel:

 Proportionally operates the model's right and left steering control. The Steering Wheel tension can be adjusted 

to best suit your driving style.

Step Value:

 A preset amount that the servo will travel when the trim switch is pressed once. The step value can be adjusted so 

that the servo either moves more or moves less when the trim switch is pressed.

Sub-Trim:

 Corrects the neutral trim setting for steering and throttle, making it possible to center the trim switches while ensuring 

the steering and throttle servo horns remain centered. When adjusting linkages, 

Sub-Trim allows you to fix an accurate center 

position. It's not unusual that when you center a servo and install the servo horn, the servo horn is not perfectly centered. Sub-trim 

allows you to center the servo horn perfectly, without altering the servo End-Point travel.

Suppression Capacitor:

 Primarily used on electric motors, a suppression capacitor helps eliminate electrical noise that could 

interfere with the operation of your radio control system.

Throttle Hold:

 Used primarily with glow- or gas-powered models. It allows you to perform several different functions depending on 

how the Throttle Hold function is set up. For example, when set to a negative value, you can stop the engine with only the press 

of a button. This feature is often used with R/C boat models and is also known as 'Engine Cut'. When set to a positive value, 

the throttle can be held open a desired amount with only the press of a button. This feature is often used to hold the engine at a 

steady idle while refueling during a race.

Traction Control:

 Helps assure faster, smoother starts by reducing the chance of tire spin, even when the throttle trigger is 

applied abruptly. Traction Control also contributes to stability during acceleration, providing smoother running.

Trigger:

 Controls the speed of the model, both forward and backward, or the brake. The Trigger tension can be adjusted to best 

suit your driving style.

Trim Control Switch:

 The 

transmitter features five separate Trim Control Switches in different locations (Sw 1, Sw 2, Sw 3, 

Sw 4, and Sw 5). Each Trim Control Switch is programmable and will perform a different function depending on what function is 

assigned to it. For example, Trm 1 and Trm 2 are used to adjust the center-trim of the steering and throttle servos, and Trm 4 and 

Trm 5 are used to adjust dual rate and steering EPA.

Variable Rate Adjustment:

 Allows you to periodically recalibrate your steering wheel and throttle trigger operation. The 

Variable Rate Adjustment function also allows you to adjust the servo to move 100% of its maximum travel if you choose to limit 

the movement of the steering wheel. 

Vibrator Setting:

 When activated, the transmitter will vibrate at the same time that the Timer alarms or the battery alarm activates. 

We recommend activating the vibrator setting if you choose to mute the audible signals.
