Locate Screen with Transmitter in Range
If the transmitter is on and there is no roll or pitch data, hold the trigger for five seconds to engage Max Mode
and the data should appear. If it doesn't:
1. The transmitter and receiver may not be on the same frequency band. Hold toggle right at the locate
screen to select the other frequency band.
2. You may have the wrong transmitter model selected, such as FT2 instead of FT5p. From the Main
menu, select
Transmitter selection
to choose a different transmitter.
How do I check which frequency bands are assigned?
The current band in use is listed at the top of the Main menu (page 12). Hold toggle right at the
Locate screen to see and switch between bands.
