Initial Setup Menu Programming for All Aircraft
4. Configure the countdown timer:
Now you are at the TIMER menu item with a number blinking
away at you-its 10 (minutes) by default.
If you want to set a timer value, go to page 12 for
more information on using the timer function. Otherwise,
move down to the next menu item.
5. Select the control's Mode configuration:
Under the word "MODE", the number "2" is blinking by default.
Go ahead and accept mode 2 by pushing the right-hand EDIT
button to continue to the next screen.
Of course, if you are used to the mode 1 configuration
(elevator on the left stick, throttle on the right), then select
number 1. Other changes to accommodate Mode 1 flyers
must be done to the transmitter.
Please refer to page 7 for more information.
6. Select the signal shift:
As indicated by the "SFt" symbol on the screen we are now
in the shift selection menu. The blinking default selection is
"n", meaning negative shift.
If your receiver is marked "positive" shift, push one of the
CURSOR buttons so that a "P" starts blinking.
Then scroll to the next screen.
7. Reset Screen:
In this screen you should now see a tiny "RST" blinking in
the lower right hand corner This means RESET-and if you
push both DATA buttons at the same time that's exactly what
will happen: You will hear a "double beep" and undo all the
initial programming we just did, returning all the programming
to the factory's default settings!
Now push the Right EDIT button to scroll right back where we
started when we first turned on the transmitter.
We are now done with the initial setup programming of your
aircraft, so switch off the transmitter.
When you switch it on again without holding down both EDIT
buttons the transmitter will open up in the current model slot
(the one we just programmed) with all the initial settings we just
programmed in effect.

Tip
The Optic Sport features a powerful option allowing you to
select between a Negative or Positive signal transmit shift.
This allows you to use any brand of modern FM receiver.
As a general rule, Futaba
R
receivers are "Negative" shift,
while JR
R
, Airtronics
R
and most Multiplex receivers are
all Positive shift.
All models of Hitec receivers have been offered in both
shift versions, while newer Hitec receivers are now
"auto shift selectable" and automatically know what shift
the transmitter is.
At this point you have selected the type of model ACRO,
GLID or HELI, you wish to set-up.
In the manual text that follows, we will review and explain
the Model Setup Menu of the three different model types.
The first is ACRO, followed by GLID, then HELI. All ACRO
features will be described in detail within the ACRO section.
Within the following GLID and HELI sections, only features
exclusive to GLID and HELI programming will be described
in detail.
For those GLID and HELI features common to ACRO,
we will refer you to their description within the ACRO section.
