Entering the Function Menu 

To get into the Function Menu, press the button down and don’t release it until LED lights solid White. 

 

Menu Selection 

In the Function Menu, LED will flash Green several times every 3 seconds in a loop and the number of times LED flashes 

shows at which function item you are currently. For example, one Green flashing means the first function “servo trimming”, 

after waiting about 3 seconds, a twice Green flashing means the second function “travel limiting”, and so on. When you 

reach the function that you wish to operate in, short press the button to perform it. After the process is completed the gyro 

will get back into the operating mode, if you want to perform another function of the menu, you have to enter the Function 

Menu again.   

Exiting the Menu 

To get out of the current menu just keep the button pressed (2 seconds) again until LED starts flashing Green quickly.

SERVO TRIMMING

 

 

This function allows you to adjust the center position of the servos using the transmitter. It will be more convenient and more 

intuitive. After entering this procedure, move the elevator stick up or down to select one of the servos connected at [OUT1] 

to [OUT3]. The current servo will indicate its selection to you by a short up and down move. By default, the servo connected
