Transmitter T6YG (Front Panel)                                          

Power switch:

Turns the transmitter "On" or "Off". In the upper position, the power is turned "On".

This is an expanded scale voltmeter. It is not calibrated in volts. When the needle deflects to the

boundary between the silver and red zones, recharge or replace the battery. Do not operate the transmitter if the needle
descends into the red area.

Antenna /Aerial:

Never operate the transmitter without extending this antenna or you may create interference to other

modelers. This antenna is not intended to be removable.

Aileron, Elevator, Throttle and Rudder stick:

Control each function. See page 14 for the transmitter operation

instructions.

Aileron, Elevator, Throttle and Rudder trim:

Used to shift the neutral or idle position of the each servo. As the

throttle stick is moved up towards the high throttle position, the throttle trim will have less effect.

Carrying handle:

Provides an easy means of transporting the transmitter.

Neck strap hook:

Only clip the neck strap to this hook when neck strap use is required.

Servo reversing switches:

Switches that reverse the direction of operation of the servos. The lower position is the

normal side and the upper position is the reverse side.
