The servo reverse screen allows the direction of each servo to

be selected.

1. Highlight and select REV.SW in the FUNC.LIST to obtain the

servo reversing display.

2. Use the Selector to highlight and select those channels

that need to be reversed. Pressing the Selector toggles the

channel between Normal and Reverse.

Travel Adjust allows the independent adjustment of servo travel

for each direction of servo travel.

11: Servo Reversing

To Program Servo Reverse

12: Travel Adjust

To program Travel Adjust values:

1. Highlight and select TRVL ADJ. in the FUNC.LIST to obtain

the Travel Adjust display.

2. Use the Selector to highlight and select each channel and

adjust the travel in each direction by rotating the Selector.

The direction of travel is changed by moving the stick/

switch/lever in the desired direction to highlight L/R, U/D or

+/-.
