In addition to the four dual-axis stick units for the con-
trol functions 1 to 4, the
mx
-24s transmitter is equip-
ped as standard with various auxiliary controls. In de-
tail these are:
• Two INC / DEC buttons: CONTROL 5 and 6
• Two three-position switches: CONTROL 7 + 8, or
SW 5 + 6 and SW 9 + 10
• Two side-mounted proportional controls: CONT-
ROL 9 + 10
• Five two-position switches: SW 1 to 4, 7
• One two-position momentary switch: SW 8
In this menu these transmitter controls can be assi-
gned freely to any function input (see page 28), with
absolutely no restriction . A side-effect of this arrange-
ment is that one transmitter control can also be set to
operate several function inputs simultaneously, e. g.
inputs 11
and 12.
Inputs 5 to 8 can also be assigned differently for each
fl ight phase, provided that you have defi ned fl ight
phases in the »
Phase settings « menu (page 100)
and the » Phase assignment « menu (page 104). In
this case the names assigned to each fl ight phase
are displayed in the bottom line of the screen, e. g.
“normal”. In contrast, inputs 9 to 12 can only be occu-
pied once in each model memory (1 to 40). A trans-
mitter control assigned to one of these inputs there-
fore has the same effect in all fl ight phases.
Note:
The position of the two INC / DEC buttons 5 + 6 in in-
puts 5 … 12 is still stored separately for each fl ight
phase (see also page 28).
The transmitter controls mentioned above can be as-
signed to the fl ight phase specifi c inputs 5 to 8 and
inputs 9 to 12, which can only be assigned once in
each model memory, and the same is true of the C1
stick (transmitter control 1). This can be useful, for
example, if you wish to be able to control a second
throttle servo in parallel with the fi rst in order to cont-
rol a twin-engined model, or a second airbrake servo
on a glider, without major programming effort.
Basic procedure:
1. Select the appropriate transmitter control 5 to 12
with the rotary control pressed in.
2. Turn the rotary control to select SEL , SYM or ASY
in the bottom line of the screen, so that you can
carry out the adjustments you wish to make.
3. Press the rotary control: the input fi eld you wish to
modify is highlighted (black background).
4. Carry out the adjustment using the rotary control,
or by moving the desired switch or transmitter con-
trol.
5. Press the rotary control to conclude the input pro-
cess.
6. Repeat the procedure in the other fl ight phases, if
relevant.
Column 2 “Control or switch assignment”
Select one of the transmitter inputs 5 to 12 with the
rotary control pressed in.
Use the rotary control to select the left-hand SEL
fi eld, or – if SEL is already highlighted – activate the
assignment facility with a brief press on the rotary
control:
Input 5 0% + 100%+100% 0.0 0.0
0% +100%+100% 0.0 0.0

Move desired switch
or control adj.
Now move the desired transmitter control (C1 stick,
CTRL 5 to 10), or the selected switch (SW 1 to 4, 7
or 8), noting that the two INC / DEC buttons 5 + 6 are
only detected after a few “beeps”; this means that you
must hold them pressed in for slightly longer than nor-
mal. If the travel is no longer suffi cient for this, move
the control in the opposite direction. In the case of the
assigned two-position switches it is only possible to
switch “to and fro”, e. g. motor ON and OFF. Natural-
ly, the two three-position switches also provide a cen-
tre position.
Tip:
When assigning switches please take care to set the
appropriate direction of switching. It is also a good
idea to switch all inputs not currently required to
“free”, to eliminate the risk of operating them acciden-
tally using transmitter controls which are not meant to
be in use.
The screen now displays either the number of the
transmitter control or the switch number, together with
a switch symbol which indicates the switch status;
e. g.:
Input 5 0% + 100%+100% 0.0 0.0
0% +100%+100% 0.0 0.0
0% +100%+100% 0.0 0.0
