PROGRAMMING THE 6EXHP RADIO
Anytime you wish to
view
or
change
any of the current settings in the transmitter, the programming mode must first be
entered by, of course, turning on the power, then by pressing the
“MODE”
and
“SELECT”
keys simultaneously and holding
them down for one second. Once in the program the MODE key will be used to scroll through each of the “13” or “14”
(PCM) functions (model number/ data reset/ modulation select/ model name, reversing, dual rates/ exponentials, end point
adjustments, trim, normal throttle curve, normal pitch curve, idle-up throttle curve, idle-up pitch curve, throttle hold, revolution
mixing, gyro sensitivity, swashplate types, and failsafe) and the SELECT key will be used to view the settings within the
function. When a data change is actually required the
“DATA INPUT”
lever will be used to increase or decrease the value of
the item displayed, thus making the change.
You can return to the home screen (where the model number and battery voltage is displayed) by pressing the MODE and
SELECT keys simultaneously and holding them down for one second.
Note
: The functions are listed and described in the order that they appear in the transmitter. Read all the way through the
programming instructions before setting up your model (if you won’t be using any of the mixing functions for a while you
can read those instructions when ready). Refer to the FLOW CHART on page 20 as well.
Model Select
/ Data Reset / Modulation Select / Model Name
MODL Model select function
To select model memory:
1. Access the Model Select function in the programming mode (by pressing the MODE and
SELECT keys simultaneously and holding them down for one second). The number for the
current, active model will be blinking.
2. To activate a different model memory press the DATA INPUT lever until the desired model
number appears.
3. Now the model has been selected. All programming inputs from this point forward will affect
only the model number on the screen (until another model number is selected).
REST Data reset function
All the data for any model memory can be reset to the original factory defaults. Often this function is done to get a “fresh start”
and clear the memory before inputting new model settings.
To reset data:
1. Access the Model Select function in the programming mode (by pressing the MODE and
SELECT keys simultaneously and holding them down for one second). Use the DATA
INPUT lever to select the model memory you wish to reset.
2. Once the desired model number is displayed on the screen, press the SELECT key. A
“REST”
will appear on the screen.
3. Push DATA INPUT upward or downward for about 2 seconds to clear and reset the memory.
“CLR” blinks first, and then it stops blinking with a sound. Now the model data is reset to the
initial setting that is the default value set at the factory.
The existing modulation and swashplate type settings are not reset. If the power switch is turned off while reset is underway,
the data may not be reset.
CAUTION
: Resetting the current model memory will permanently erase
ALL
programming information for that model. The
data cannot be recovered (unless you recorded it on a Model Data Recording Sheet in the back of this manual). Do not reset
the model unless you are certain you want to clear-out that memory and start from scratch.
When actually setting up a model you should have the model in front of you with the power on so you can actually see the
effects of your programming inputs and measure the control throws.
