T12Z Software Update
(Editor Version:1.3.2, Encoder Version:1.39)
CAUTION
To support new features model memories must be updated to version 1.2.0. Once the 1.2.0 update is installed
into your transmitter, the model memory update will automatically occur when you select the model the first time.
After this update has been performed the model memory will no longer be compatible with software versions prior
to 1.2.0.
Changing the RF Modulation
The T12Z transmitter is compatible with Futaba's TM-14 Module FASST 2.4GHz system.
 When switching from the existing MZ-FM module to the TM-14, the TM-14 to the MZ-FM module, or similar
situation, it is necessary to reset the band accordingly.
 When using the TM-14 and Futaba FASST receiver, it is necessary to link the transmitter module to the
respective receiver prior to using them for the first time. This process will only be necessary the first time that
these items are used. The unique identification code will be stored in the receiver.
 When using the TM-14 FASST system, the DSC function has been disabled as it is unnecessary. Futaba's
FASST system will prevent any RF interference issues which might have arisen in the previous RF
modulation.
 The multiprop function cannot be used.
HowtoSettheBand
1. With the transmitter's power OFF, remove the
existing RF module and replace it with the TM-14
module.
2. Turn ON the transmitter's power switch. Since
the RF module was replaced by an RF module
that varies from the previous settings, an
on-screen warning is displayed. To change the
modulation settings, push the DATA button.
3. In the linkage menu, select the frequency setting
[FREQUENCY], and push the DATA button. A
message confirming the band change is displayed.
Press the DATA button once again.
 Please note: This will automatically select
Futaba's FASST MULT setting. If, however, you
are using a receiver which employs the FASST
7-Channel settings, please see the section entitled
Channel Mode Selection which follows.
4. A channel mode selection screen is displayed.
Press the EDIT button.
5. A function channel relocation confirmation screen
is displayed. When [YES] is selected and the
DATA button is pressed, the function channel
assignment is changed to the optimum setting in
the FASST system. When [NO] is selected and the
DATA button is pressed, the setting is not
changed.
After the channels have been relocated you must
verify that the receiver connections are correct and
verify that all of the settings within the transmitter
are correct before flying.
 In the FASST system, the optimum channel
assignment and optimum setting in the
conventional modulation mode are different.

6. The band setting changes accordingly to reflect
the selection of the 2.4GHz band. The display will
return to the frequency confirmation screen.
RangeCheckModeOperation
The 'range check mode' reduces the transmission
range of the radio waves to allow for a ground range
check.
 The range check mode, when activated, will
continue for 90 seconds unless the user exits this
mode early. When the progress bar reaches 90s,
the RF transmission automatically returns to the
normal operating power.
WARNING
Do not fly in the range check mode.
 Since the range of the radio waves is short, if the
model is too far from the transmitter, control will
be lost and the model will crash.
1. Turn ON the transmitter's power switch. Select
[NO] on the frequency confirmation screen.
 For safety, the RANGE CHECK mode can not be

when [EXIT] is selected, the transmitter will
automatically return to the normal RF operation
as noted on the display.
 Once the 14MZ is transmitting at full power, it is
not possible to enter the Range Check mode
without first switching the transmitter Off and
back On. This has been designed to prevent a
modeler from inadvertently flying in the Range
Check mode.
5. When [EXIT] is selected and the DATA button is
pressed, the RANGE CHECK mode is disabled
and the 12Z will begin transmitting at full power.
 After the RANGE CHECK mode was reset, it
cannot be selected again. To select the RANGE
CHECK mode again, turn on the power switch and

Automaticchannelassignment
When using the TM-14 RF module, the T12Z channel
assignment function allows the automatic relocation of
the channels (servo output) to maximize performance
of the FASST system.
(Example) Change from the MZ-FM module to the
TM-14 module
1. Replace the RF module of the T12Z with the
TM-14.
2. Turn on the transmitter.
3. Select LINKAGE menu.
4. Select FREQUENCY menu.
5. A message is displayed. Push the DATA
button.
6. A CHANNEL RELOCATION message will
appear. If you wish to relocate the channel
assignments, select [YES] and press the DATA
button. If not, select [NO]. The channel
assignments will not be modified.
7. Band setting changes to 2.4GHz.
8. The channel assignment is changed to suitable
assignment of FASST.
9. After the channels have been relocated you
must verify that the receiver connections are
correct and verify that all of the settings within
the transmitter are correct before flying.
RangeChecktheRadio
It is extremely important to range check your models
prior to each flying session. This enables you to
ensure that everything is functioning as it should and
to obtain maximum enjoyment from your time flying.
The TM-14 transmitter module incorporates a system
that reduces its power output and allows you to
perform such a range check.
1. Turn on the transmitter and activate the
'RANGE CHECK' mode through the
transmitter's System menu. Please note: if
the RF is activated, the 'RANGE CHECK' mode
will not be available to utilize. As such, do
NOT activate the RF when the transmitter is
turned ON.
2. The LEDs on the rear of the TM-14 module will
indicate that a radio frequency link has been
established between the transmitter and
receiver. This is noted by a solid green LED
and a blinking red LED on the TM-14 module.
The solid green LED indicates that the radio
frequency link has been established. As
indicated by the blinking red LED, the radio
frequency power has been reduced to allow for
the range check. Note: the transmitter will
remain in the RANGE CHECK mode for a
maximum of 90 (ninety) seconds. This time
limit has been established to ensure that the
modeler not inadvertently forget to return to
the standard power output when flying his/her
model.
3. Walk away from the model while
simultaneously operating the controls. Have
an assistant stand by the model to confirm that
all controls are completely and correctly
operational. You should be able to walk
approximately 30-50 paces from the model
without losing control.
4. If everything operates correctly, return to the
model. Set the transmitter in a safe, yet
accessible, location so it will be within reach
after starting the engine or motor. Be certain
the throttle stick is in the low throttle position,
then start the engine or motor. Perform
another range check with your assistant
holding the aircraft with the engine running at
various speeds. If the servos jitter or move
inadvertently, there may be a problem. We
would strongly suggest you do not fly until the
source of the difficulty has been determined.
Look for loose servo connections or binding
pushrods. Also, be certain that the battery
has been fully charged.
AntennaofTM-14
1. As with all radio frequency transmissions, the
strongest area of signal transmission is from the
sides of the TM-14 transmitter module's antenna.
As such, the antenna should not be pointed directly
at the model. If your flying style creates this
situation, please pivot the antenna to correct this
situation.
2. Please do not grasp the transmitter's antenna
during flight. Doing so may degrade the quality of
the RF transmission to the model.

(example of program mixing)
3. Use the cursor lever to move the cursor to the switch
mode. Use the dial to select the single switch mode or
logic switch mode, and push the DATA button. The single
switch mode is used with individual switches, the same
as in the past. When switched to the logic switch mode,
the switch mode and switches are displayed as shown
below. ON/OFF is determined by the combination of the
switch and logic mode displayed at the top and bottom.
4. Use the cursor lever to move the cursor to the logic
mode. Use the dial to select the logic from the three
types AND, OR, and Ex-OR, and push the DATA button.
Logic operation is shown in the table at below right. For
AND, both switches are ON, for OR, either one of the
switches is ON, and for Ex-OR, when the two switches
are in different states, the result is ON.
5. Use the cursor lever to move the cursor to the top or
bottom switch mode. Use the dial to select the logic
switch mode, and push the DATA button. Switch display
is added to each. A combination of up to 4 switches can
be registered in this manner. When 3 or more switches
are registered, the left and right switch combinations
surrounded by the frame are judged first. Next, the
combination in the judged frame are judged by the logic
displayed at the far right side. Finally, ON/OFF is
decided.
*In the above example, first SW-A and SW-B are judged by AND
condition and then SW-C and SW-D are judged by AND condition.
Lastly, the result of judgment of the SW-A and SW-B judgment result
and SW-C and SW-D judgment result by OR condition becomes the
final result. In this case, when SW-A and SW-B are simultaneously ON
or SW-C and SW-D are simultaneously ON, the result is ON.
Restrictions:
1. Logic switches can be used in mixing the ON/OFF
setting with up to 8 circuits for each condition. In
condition switching, it can be used with up to 10 circuits.
When logic switches exceeding the maximum settable
value are selected, an error message is displayed.
Release the unnecessary logic switches and then
reselect.
