The following Programming Menus are available within the SYSTEM menu:

The Type function allows you to quickly set up the transmitter's Mixing options based on the type of Model you're driving.

Common templates for Car or Truck and Crawler Car Types are provided. For example, if your Crawler features separate

Front and Rear Steering servos, choosing one of the Crawler Car Types will automatically program the transmitter for Four

Wheel Steering.

The TYPE menu will also display what receiver channels to plug the servos into since this will vary depending on the Car Type

chosen. This takes the guess-work out of setting up your Model.

WARNING: TYPE menu selections are designed to be used when setting up a new Model and should be done prior to

making any programming changes to your Model. When the Type function is used to change the Car Type, all Programming

Data (including custom Programming Data) for the current Model will be RESET!

To access the various SYSTEM Programming Menus, turn the transmitter ON,

then press the SELECT switch to highlight the SYSTEM menu. Press the ENTER

key to open the SYSTEM menu.

Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the desired Programming Menu, then press the

ENTER key to open that menu.

Depending on the Car Type chosen, some Function Programming Value

Names may differ from those shown in this section.

Choosing a Car Type:

1) From within the SYSTEM menu, scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the TYPE

menu.
