Model Setup Functions

TIME -Timer Function Setup

Modulation - PPM, QPCM

REST - Data Reset

Your Optic system contains TWO special timer functions,

helpful for keeping track of flight duration, engine run time, or

other things that need to be monitored during flight. You can

set up the timers to count down from anywhere from 0 to 60

minutes. (In addition, the Optic has an "elapsed time" counter

that continuously records how long the transmitter has been

operating.)

If you select a time from 1 to 60 minutes, the timer will count

down the number of minutes selected when you first press the

Right Cursor button. You may stop it at any time by pressing

the Right Cursor button a second time. Beginning the last 10

seconds of the selected time, the system will beep every

The Modulation function is used to choose what type of receiver

you will be using with your Optic system. Hitec has two types of

receivers, PPM and QPCM. PPM receivers are also referred to

as "FM" receivers. QPCM receivers offer you the option of

failsafe which will hold the last set of positions received before

the interference, or allow you to choose what positions the

servos will move to if the signal is lost or interfered.

Failsafe will only work with Hitec QPCM receivers.

You can have a mixture of QPCM and PPM receivers, and the

Optic transmitter will remember which type of modulation you

are using for each separate model memory.

The Reset function is used to clear out an existing set of model

data within a single model memory, the one currently selected.

This function resets all data to initial values, and may be used

to get a "fresh start" so that you may be begin with a clear

memory before you input new model settings into a memory

that had been used for another model. A safety feature allows

you to verify "that you wish to reset" before all data is lost.

This section describes the functions for fixed-wing aircraft, provides a setup example,

and then describes the functions individually. Helicopter functions are in the following section

and off. (If you're already in the setup menus, you can just

press the Up or Down arrow key to get here.)

Resetting the memory

1. With the transmitter switched off, turn on your transmitter

while pressing both of the two Edit keys (the two keys on the

far left). The model select (M.SEL) menu will be displayed.

2. Press the Up or Down arrow key until you get into the Reset

(REST) menu. This display has the word "REST" flashing on

3. IF YOU ARE SURE YOU WANT TO RESET and clear out

the current model memory, press both the +Increase and

-Decrease Data keys at the same time. The transmitter will

beep twice to indicate a successful reset

CAUTION: WHEN YOU COMMAND RESET, YOU'LL ERASE THE

MEMORY YOU'RE IN AND LOSE ANY PROGRAMMING YOU HAVE

ENTERED. DON'T DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE POSITIVE YOU WANT

TO FLUSH OUT THAT MEMORY AND START FROM SCRATCH WITH

THE FACTORY-DEFAULT SETTINGS.

Setting up the Optic's Two Timers

1. With the transmitter switched off, turn on your transmitter

while pressing both of the two Edit keys (the two keys on the

far left). The model select (M.SEL) menu will be displayed.

2. Press the Up or Down EDIT arrow key until you get into the

Timer (TIME) menu (if you're already in the setup menus,

you can just press the Up or Down arrow key to get here).

You'll see a display with the word "TIME." The numbers 1

and 2 are shown; the small triangle indicates whether you

are setting Timer 1 or Timer 2.

Changing the Modulation

1. With the transmitter switched off, turn on your transmitter

while pressing both of the two Edit keys (the two keys on the

far left). The model select (M.SEL) menu will be displayed.

2. Press the Up or Down Edit key until you get into the

Modulation menu. You'll see either the flashing word PPM

or QPCM. (If you're already in the setup menus, you can just

press the Up or Down arrow key to get here.)

3. PPM is also known as "FM" and will work with Hitec and

other receivers that are not PCM. QPCM represents pulse-

code modulation and will only work Hitec QPCM receivers.

4. To input your choice, press either the Left or Right Cursor

key one time. This will change the display from PPM to

QPCM or vice versa.

5. Press the Up or Down arrow keys to get to another setup

menu, or switch power off. This setting will be remembered

in the current model memory only.

3. To change the number of minutes shown, press the +

Increase and -Decrease Data keys until you see the amount

you desire. You may select from 1 to 60 minutes.

4. Press the Left or Right CURSOR key to get to the other

timer setup menu. Repeat instruction 3 for the second timer

if desired.

5. Press the Up or Down arrow keys to get to another setup

menu, or switch power off.

6. Switch power back on. You can view, start, and stop either

of the two timers by pressing either DATA key. Press the

Right Cursor button to start the timer, press the Right

Cursor button a second time to stop it, and press the Left

Cursor button to reset the timer.
