The operating display consists of the following elements:
1  Model name
2  Model type figure
3  Battery symbol for transmitter voltage supply 
4  Battery symbol for receiver voltage supply 
5  Nod trimming display
6  Roll trimming display
7  Information area for status messages
8  Yaw trimming display 
9  Distance display in „Following-Mode“
10  Pitch trimming display 
11  Display for GPS reception of the transmitter*

*  The display only appears when the GPS receiver has been connected to the transmitter.

  If one of the three toggle switches (see figure 7, item 4, 

18 and 19) is not in the front position, warning sounds 

will be emitted when activating and the corresponding 

note is displayed (see figure 11). 

 

In this case, the affected switches must be put in the 

required position. The display then switches to the 

operating display and the warning sounds go out.
