Connect GPB-1 (Gyro Program Box) And CGY

The GPB-1 is used to display the gyro and governor settings, adjust the gyro and gov-

ernor settings, and use to initialize updates, etc.

Opening Screen

When GPB-1 starts up with power on, the opening screen is displayed first.

·CGY Connection Cable

It is used to connect the CGY760R/CGY755 and

the Gyro Program Box GPB-1.

Connect the receiver battery

(3.5 to 8.4 V) to one of the

"AIL" to "S.B2" connectors

other than "RPM" and "P.BOX".
(Do not connect to "RPM" and

"P.BOX".)
