Model memory number and model name
The Futaba T6EXHP stores model memories for six models. This means all the data (control throws, trims, end points, etc.) for
up to six different models can be stored in the transmitter and activated at any time (depending upon which model you choose
to fly that day). This eliminates the requirement for reconfiguring the transmitter each time you decide to fly a different model
with it! When the transmitter is turned on the
model number, model name, modulation
and the t
ransmitter voltage
will be
indicated on the LCD screen. Before every flight
BE CERTAIN
that the correct model number for the model you intend to fly
appears on the screen. If the transmitter is not operating the correct model, some (or all) of the controls could be reversed and
the travels and trims will be wrong.
Flying a model with the wrong program will result in a crash, so always
be certain
the model number and model name in
the transmitter is correct. One way to ensure this is to write the corresponding model number directly on the helicopter, or
attach a list to the bottom or back of the transmitter.

Transmitter battery voltage
In addition to the model number, the LCD screen also displays the
transmitter battery
voltage.
When the voltage goes below approximately
8.5 Volts
the “battery” icon will
flash
and the low-battery alarm will continuously beep until the transmitter is turned off. When the
low-battery alarm sounds you will have approximately four minutes (or less) to land your model
before losing control. You should never allow the transmitter voltage to become this low while
flying, but if it does, land
immediately
.
Note
: When the transmitter voltage reads
8.9 Volts
you will
still have approximately ten minutes (or less) before losing
operational range, so this is the recommended
absolute
minimum
voltage. If the transmitter ever reaches 8.9 Volts,
land as soon as safely possible. A more reasonable margin
of safety would be to quit flying for the day (or recharge the
batteries) when the transmitter battery.
SUGGESTED GUIDELINES
9.4 Volts - No more flying until recharge.
8.9 Volts - Land as soon as safely possible.
8.5 Volts -
Emergency- Land immediately!
Mixer alert warning
The
Mixer alert
warning is displayed to alert you whenever you turn on the transmitter with
any of the mixing switches active. This warning will disappear when the offending switch or
control is deactivated. Switches for which warnings will be issued at power-up are Throttle hold
switch or Idle-up switch.
Backup error
The
Backup error
warning occurs when the transmitter memory is lost for any reason.If this
occurs, all of the data will be reset when the power is turn on again.
When the Backup error occurs, initialization starts from model number 6 to 1.
The model number on the left of the screen changes from 6 to 5, to 4, to 3, to 2, to 1, and
finally the number disappears. The disappearance of the model number indicates that the
initialization has been completed. Now you can turn off the power of the transmitter. Please
do NOT turn off the power during the initialization; otherwise initialization will restart when you
turn on the power.
Do not fly
when this message is displayed: all programming has been erased and is not
available. Return your transmitter to Futaba service.
