SLT Technology
In addition to our proprietary AFHSS technology the Flash 7 has the ability to transmit using Secure Link
Technology (SLT). This allows you to fly the numerous Tx-Ready models available on the market. For more
information visit Tx-Ready.com for models utilizing this technology. Follow these instructions to utilize
SLT with your Flash 7.
Scan Mode
6. Check to see that all functions are operating correctly. If they
do, press Finish. You now have successfully bound your
receiver in scan mode.
1. Turn on the transmitter and select “yes” to the “Ready to
Transmit” prompt by pressing the jog dial.
2. Press the jog dial and back button simultaneously to enter the
System Menu list. From here scroll to the SPECTRA function
and press the jog dial to enter the Spectra setup menu.
3. Press the jog dial to activate the receiver selection and scroll
to the “SLT” receiver.
SLT Binding
The following procedure is for binding typical SLT receivers to the Flash 7. These methods may vary from
manufacturer to manufacturer. Check your receiver manual for any variances to these instructions.
1. Turn on the Flash transmitter and when prompted to transmit choose YES.
2. Apply power to the Receiver.
3. If the receiver LED flashes once and then stays on, the receiver is already linked to the transmitter and
you can skip to the next section. Otherwise, insert a small diameter screwdriver into the hole marked
“LINK” or “BIND” on the receiver and press the button until the LED on the receiver glows red and then
turns off after about one second.
4. Release the “LINK” or “BIND” button.
The following information is designed to guide you through a simple setup of a standard sport plane or
unpowered glider. The operations shown during this exercise will help you understand many of the basic
programming steps used by the Flash 7.
Channel Assignments for a Simple Powered Plane with One or Two Aileron Servos:
Channel 1 - Aileron
Channel 2 - Elevator
Channel 3 - Throttle
Channel 4 - Rudder
Channel 5 - Aileron #2 (if used)
Channel Assignments for a Simple Un-Powered Glider:
Channel 1 - Aileron (plug rudder or aileron servo in Ch. #1)
Channel 2 – Elevator
This exercise assumes two things:
1. That you have already installed the servos in your aircraft.
2. You have bound (linked) the receiver to your transmitter.
Airplane Quick Start Guide
1. Turn on the transmitter; do not turn on the airplane.
2. When prompted if you are “ready to transmit” select “No”.
3. Press the jog dial and back button simultaneously to enter the
System Menu list.
4. From the System Menu list choose MDL.SEL to enter the
model setup.
5. Select the first default model (NONAME-1) and press the jog
dial to bring up the model maintenance prompts. Select
“NEW” to create a new model.
For safety reasons during this set-up exercise on an electric powered plane, remove the
propeller.
