Setup XX (page 1/13)

The Setup screen has many lines and presents a wide range of settings specific to the individual 
model that is currently active (Model Number XX). Select items in the menu using the UP and 
DOWN keys. Here are the first items:

Name (model name)

This item works like Owner Name in the Radio Setup page. Choose a space where a letter is 
required and press MENU to highlight it. When the UP or DOWN key is pressed the following are 
shown in sequence: a blank space, upper case letters, lower case letters, numerals, '_' and '- 'and
'.'. When you have the correct letter or numeral in place, press MENU or EXIT to regain the ability
to move left and right. Use DOWN to get to the next item.

Voice Index

Here you specify the voice file that will be announced when the model is selected. Highlighting 
the number and pressing MENU will cause the voice file to be played. The range of numbers is 
260 to 309 –.if you don’t want a name to be announced, just assign a number that doesn’t have a 
voice file associated with it (probably a high number). For more on this see 

ErSky9x Voice 

Explained

.

Timer 1, Timer 2

There are two fully programmable timers, that can count either up or down. By default, the timers 
are set to OFF and are not operational.

Trigger A, Trigger B

Two triggers are available to start and stop each timer. Options for Trigger A (referred to as 
simply Trigger in the screen) are OFF, ABS, THs, TH%, or c1% to c24%. 

ABS counts up all the time, THs runs whenever the throttle stick is not at idle, TH% counts up at a
speed proportional to the throttle stick position, i.e., at 50 % throttle the timer runs at 50% of full 
speed. The option of c1% through to c24% means the proportional output of any channel from 1 
to 24.
