Programmable Alarms

The features programmable alarms that warn of a potential uns afe s witch or s tick position when the transmitter is turned on. I n Acro

mode programmable a larms i nclude high throttle, gear and mid and land lap pos itions while in helicopter mode warnings i nclude high

throttle, S tunt 1, S tunt 2, a nd Hold. I f any of thes e s witches o r throttle s tick position is i n an unsafe position when the

trans mitter is turned on, a n alarm will s ound, the s creen will display the offending s witch position and the trans mitter will not transmit a

signal. Moving the s witch or s tick to the des ired position will clear the warning and normal operation will res ume.

The Warnings function programs a n alarm to sound if specific s witches or s tick positions a re in an unsafe position when the transmitter is

first turned on. I n helicopter model type default warnings i nclude Throttle, S tunt 1, S tunt 2 and Hold. I n airplane model type these

warnings i nclude T hrottle L ow, F laps , G ear,

Flight Mode 1 a nd Flight Mode 2. I f you turn the transmitter on and any of thes e s witches o r the throttle is not at the low position, the a larm

The T-i8 organizes the programming screens in two separate categories: FUNCTION LIST and SETUP LIST .The FUNCTION LIST contains

programming that is generally used when initially setting up a model and seldom used at the field. SETUP LIST functions includes Model Type,

Model Name, Wing Type (Swash plate Type for Helis) Model Reset, etc. Note: No radio transmission occurs when a System Setup screen is

displayed to prevent accidental servo operation .This protects linkages/servo gears from damage when making programming changes.

This function allows adjustment of the servo left -right(and up - down) control surface angles for each channel separately. The angle adjustment is

carried out referenced to the neutral position. Adjustment is possible over an adjusting range between 0 and 125% for each of left - right (up - down)

directions. The standard value is 100%, and this is the normal control surface angle.

D/R v alues E XP O values

Dual Rates and exponentials are available on the aileron, elevator and rudder channels. You can assign them to numerous switches

including the light mode switch.

Dual Rate:

Affects the over all travel which in turn affects control response sensitivity equally throughout the range of that channel. Reducing the dual rate

reduces the maximum control rate as well as overall sensitivity.

Exponential：

Affects the sensitivity around center but has no affect on the overall travel .Positive Exponential reduces control sensitivity around neutral for more

precise control but does not affect the maximum control response.

D/R SW :

The Dual Rate Combining function allows you to assign a switch for combining D/R&EXPO. You can assign aileron, elevator and rudder dual rate and

exponential functions to 1 of 3 common switches so dual rates/expo for all 3 channels is enabled by one switch.

Options:

INH ,AILE, ELEV or RUDD switches (FM switch can also be used in HELI mode).

Note:

Positive and negative exponential values are available .A positive expo value reduces control sensitivity around center. It does not affect maximum

travel and is recommended. Negative exponential values increase sensitivity around neutral and is seldom used.

Gyro function supports setting gain for gyros that have remote gain ability, generally on a given switch, or can be tied in with flight modes to allow

further flexibility. This function is not useful on some helicopters, because it does not allow "stick priority" mix for stick override of the gyro function.

A curve or multi-point mix may allow greater flexibility for some models. Refer to your model's manual for recommend gyro settings.

so that the seventh channel has different value. If the user set different option value, different constant speed effects will product when the user toggle switch.
