Operation Precautions

Warning

ｎ

Do not operate outdoors on rainy days, run through puddles of water or use when visibility is limited.

ｌ

Should any type of moisture (water or snow) enter any component of the system, erratic operation and loss of control
may occur.

Do not operate in the following places.

ｌ

-Near other sites where other radio control activity may occur.

-Near people or roads.

-On any pond when passenger boats are present.

-Near high tension power lines or communication broadcasting antennas.

Interference could cause loss of control. Improper installation of your Radio Control System in your model could result in
serious injury.

Do not operate this R/C system when you are tired, not feeling well or under the influence of

ｌ

alcohol or drugs.

Your judgment is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury to yourself as well as
others.

Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of the model that will generate heat

ｌ

while the model is operating or immediately after its use.

These parts may be very hot and can cause serious burns.

Extend the transmitter antenna to its full length.

ｊ

If the transmitter antenna is not fully extended, the operating range of the radio will be reduced.

Always perform a operating range check prior to use.

ｊ

Problems with the radio control system as well as improper installation in a model could cause loss of control.

(Simple range test method)
Have a friend hold the model, or clamp it down or place it where the wheels or prop cannot come in contact with
any object. Walk away and check to see if the servos follow the movement of the controls on the transmitter. Should
you notice any abnormal operation, do not operate the model. Also check to be sure the model memory matches the
model in use.

Check the transmitter antenna to be sure it is not loose.

ｊ

If the transmitter antenna works loose, or is disconnected while the model is running, signal transmission will be lost.
This will cause you to lose control of the model. Rotate the antenna softly with your fingers when checking whether it is
loosely or firmly fixed. Do not screw the antenna forcibly. Otherwise its antenna-holding part can be damaged.

Turning on the power switches.

ｊ

Always check the throttle trigger on the transmitter to be sure it is at the neutral position.

1. Turn on the transmitter power switch.

2. Turn on the receiver or speed control power switch.

Turning off the power switches
Always be sure the engine is not running or the motor is stopped.

1. Turn off the receiver or speed control power switch.

2. Then turn off the transmitter power switch.

If the power switches are turned off in the opposite order, the model may unexpectedly run out of control and cause a
very dangerous situation.

When making adjustments to the model, do so with the engine not running or the motor discon-

ｊ

nected.

You may unexpectedly lose control and create a dangerous situation.

For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others

ｎ

Caution

(Fail safe function)

Before running (cruising), check the fail safe function.

ｊ

Check Method; Before starting the engine, check the fail safe function as follows:

1) Turn on the transmitter and receiver power switches.

2) Wait at least one minute, then turn off the transmitter power switch. (The transmitter automatically transfers the fail
safe data to the receiver every minute.)

3) Check if the fail safe function moves the servos to the preset position when reception fails.

The fail safe function is a safety feature that minimizes set damage by moving the servos to a preset position when
reception fails. However, if set to a dangerous position, it has the opposite effect. When the reverse function was
used to change the operating direction of a servo, the fail safe function must be reset.
Setting example: Throttle idle or brake position

Ni-MH / Ni-Cd Battery Handling Precautions

(Only when Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries are used)

Warning

ｎ

Never plug the charger into an outlet of other than the indicated voltage.

ｌ

Plugging the charger into the wrong outlet could result in an explosion or fire.

Never insert or remove the charger while your hands are wet.

ｌ

You may get an electric shock.

Do not use the transmitter's battery, HT5F1700B, as the receiver's battery.

ｌ

Since the transmitter's battery has an overload protection circuit, the output power will be shut down when the high cur­rent load is applied. This may result in run-a-way or fatal crash.

Always check to be sure your batteries have been charged prior to operating the model.

ｊ

Should the battery go dead while the model is operating, loss of control will occur and create a very dangerous situation.

To recharge the transmitter battery, use the special charger made for this purpose.

ｊ

Overcharging could cause the battery to overheat, leak or explode. This may lead to fire, burns, loss of sight and many
other types of injuries.

ｎ

Caution

Do not use commercial AA size Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries.

ｌ

Quick charging may cause the battery contacts to overheat and damage the battery holder.

Do not short circuit the battery terminals.

ｌ

A short circuit across the battery terminals may cause abnormal heating, fire and burns.

Do not drop the battery or expose it to strong shocks or vibrations.

ｌ

The battery may short circuit and overheat; electrolyte may leak out and cause burns or chemical damage.

When the model is not being used, always remove or disconnect the battery.

ｊ

Leaving the battery connected could create a dangerous situation if someone accidentally turns on the receiver power
switch. Loss of control could occur.

10

Always keep the charger disconnected from the outlet while it is not in use.

ｊ

Storage and Disposal Precautions

Warning

ｎ

Do not leave the radio system or models within the reach of small children.

ｌ

A small child may accidentally operate the system. This could cause a dangerous situation and injuries. Ni-Cd batteries
can be very dangerous when mishandled and cause chemical damage.

Do not throw Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries into a fire. Do not expose batteries to extreme heat. Also do

ｌ

not disassemble or modify a battery pack.

Overheating and breakage will cause the electrolyte to leak from the cells and cause skin burns, loss of sight, and other
injuries.

When the system will not be used for any length of time, store the system with HT5F1700B batter-

ｊ

ies in a discharged state. Be sure to recharge the batteries prior to the next time the system is used.

If the batteries are repeatedly recharged in a slightly discharged state, the memory effect of the Ni-Cd battery may
considerably reduce the capacity . A reduction in operating time will occur even when the batteries are charged for the
recommended time. (After discharge to 1cell E.V.=1V)

<Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Electrolyte>

The electrolyte in Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte
in your eyes, DO NOT RUB, wash immediately with water, and seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte can
cause blindness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water immediately.

Warning

ｎ

Do not store your R/C system in the following places.

ｌ

- Where it is extremely hot or cold.

- Where the system will be exposed to direct sunlight.

- Where the humidity is high.

-Where vibration is prevalent.

-Where dust is prevalent.

-Where the system would be exposed to steam and condensation.

Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions could cause deforma­tion and numerous problems with operation.

If the system will not be used

ｊ

for a long period of time, re­move the batteries from the
transmitter and model and
store in a cool, dry place.

If the batteries are left in the trans­mitter, electrolyte may leak and dam­age the transmitter. This applies to
the model also. Remove the batteries
from it also to prevent damage.

<Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Recycling>

A used battery is valuable resource. Insulate the battery terminals and dispose of the battery by taking it to a battery recycling center.

Other Precautions

ｎ

Caution

Do not expose plastic parts to fuel, motor spray, waste oil or exhaust.

ｌ

The fuel, motor spray, waste oil and exhaust will penetrate and damage the plastic.

Always use only genuine Futaba transmitters, receivers, servos, ESCs (electronic speed con-

ｊ

trols), Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries and other optional accessories.

Futaba will not be responsible for problems caused by the use of other than Futaba genuine parts. Use the parts speci­fied in the instruction manual and catalog.

band automatically. This system minimizes the interference from other 2.4GHz systems.

-Model memory for 40 models

Model names can use up to 10 letters, numbers, and symbols, so that logical names may be
used. A model memory with different setups can be created by using the model copy func­tion.

-Two function selection modes: Menu Selection and Direct Selection

The setup screens are called from menu screens. The menu screen can be selected from
among 4 levels (LEVEL1/LEVEL2/LEVEL3/BIGCAR).
Frequently used (high degree of urgency) functions can be assigned to direct selection but­tons which quickly call the assigned function. (8 functions)

-Menu customizing

Function menus can be customized as desired. The menu order, display function and other
functions used by individual models only can be displayed.

-Brake mixing for large cars (BRAKE)

Brake mixing of the front and rear wheels of 1/5GP and other large cars can be adjusted
independently.

-Anti-skid braking system (A.B.S)

This function applies the brakes so that the tires of gasoline engine cars, etc. do not lose
their grip on the road even when braking at corners.

-Throttle acceleration (ACCEL)

Gasoline engine cars have a time lag before the clutch and brakes become effective.
The TH-ACCEL function reduces this time lag.

-Throttle speed (THSPD)

Sudden trigger operation on a slippery road surface will only cause the tires to spin and the
model to not accelerate smoothly. By setting the throttle speed function, operation can be
performed smoothly and easily. It also suppresses battery consumption.

-Start function (START)

A pre-set throttle position, less than full throttle, to be used for the initial acceleration off
the line without having wheel spin. When the trigger is released, auto-start is turned off and
throttle operates normally again.

-Steering speed (STSPD)

When you sense that the steering servo is too fast, etc., the servo operating speed (direction
that suppresses the maximum speed) can be adjusted.

-Racing timer (TIMER)

The lap timer can record 99 lap times, total time, and average lap time. The timer can also
be started automatically by trigger operation. The race time and audible alarm can be set.
The 4PK also has a navigation timer effective during practice runs. The target lap and re-/
fueling time are indicated by an audible alarm. An up timer and down timer are also pro­vided.

How to link the transmitter and the receiver

Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start opera­tion, the receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter to which it is being
paired. Once the link is made, the ID code is stored in the receiver and no further link­ing is necessary unless the receiver needs to be used with another transmitter.

Link procedure

1

Bring the transmitter and the receiver close to each

Servo Installation

When you install the servos, always use the rubber grommets provided in servo hardware bags.

ｊ

Mount the servos so they do not directly come in contact with the mount.

If the servo case comes in direct contact with the mount, vibration will be directly transmitted to the servo.

If this condition continues for a long time the servo may be damaged and control will be lost.

extra protection to the brake FETs. The white ring
must always face the positive side.

Other Noise Suppression Methods

Be sure there are no metal parts in your model which under vibration can come in contact with

ｊ

other metal parts.

Metal to metal contacts under vibration will emit a high frequency noise that will affect the receiver's performance. You
could experience erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of control.

and 603FF are "C1" type. The R614FF supplied with the
4PKS set as standard is the "C2" type. Check that the setting
matches the receiver being used. For example, when using the
R614FF, the receiver type must be set to FASST-C2 and when
using an R603FS or R603FF, the receiver type must be set to
FASST-C1. If the setting is wrong, change it using the RX/SX
type select function (page 46).

When FASST-C2

3. Servo Response Mode Check

Check that the servo response setting matches the servo be­ing used. When using a digital servo (including BLS Series
brushless servo), both HIGH SPEED and NORMAL can be
used. When an analog servo is used, HIGH SPEED cannot be
used; therefore, servo response must be set to NORMAL. If
the setting is wrong, change it using the RX/SX type select
function (page 46).

4. Throttle Mode Check

-When using the T4PKS transmitter with a boat, throttle brake
operation can be shut down by setting the BOAT function (p.78)
*TRG-BRK item to "Cut-OFF".

-The throttle servo travel can be set to 50:50 or 70:30 for throt­tle trigger operation as required by the throttle mode function
(page 80).

5. Trims Initial Set-Up

- Steering trim (DT1) check

On the initial set-up, steering trim is assigned to the DT1
trim lever above the steering wheel. Operate the lever and
make sure the marker moves on the ST graph. If default
has been changed, test steering trim in its new location.
After checking the trim, set the trim display to the center
(N) position.

- Throttle trim (DT2) check

On the initial set-up, throttle trim is assigned to the DT2
trim lever on the left side of the steering wheel. Oper­ate the lever and make sure the marker moves on the TH
graph. If the default has been changed, test the throttle
trim in its new location. After checking the trim, set the
trim display to the center (N) position.

- Steering dual rate (BT1) check

At initial set-up, steering dual rate (D/R) is assigned to DL1
dial, at the grip of the transmitter. Operate the DL1 and
check if the D/R value displayed on the screen changes. After
checking ST.D/R, set the steering dual rate to 100%.

- Throttle ATL (BT2) check

At initial setting, throttle ATL (ATL) is assigned to DL2 dial,
below DL1. Operate the DL2 and check if the ATL value dis­played on the screen changes. After checking TH.ATL, set
throttle ATL to 100%.

(Set-Up Procedure When Installed In a Car)

When installing the servos in a car, performing function set-up in the following order is
recommended.

1

Perform step 1 to 5. Trims Initial Set-Up of Preparations on the preceding

page.

2

Set the servo direction of operation using the Reverse function. (p.47)

- The servo installation method and linkage direction depends on the kit. Therefore, the servo
operation direction may have to be reversed relative to transmitter operation. Before install­ing the servo, check the operating direction and set it using the Reverse function.

3

Set the subtrim and adjust the servo neutral point. (p.48)

4

Set the trigger travel by adjusting the throttle trigger mechanical ATL to

your liking. (p.18)

- When the stroke was adjusted, compensate the throttle by adjuster function (See page116).

Initial Set-Up

5

Set EPA of each channel and adjust the servo throw (travel). (

End Point Adjuster "EPA"

(All channel)

Use this when performing left and right end point adjustments, throttle high side/
brake side operation amount adjustment, channel 3 and channel 4 servo up side/
down side operation amount adjustment during linkage.

- Correct the maximum steering angle for left and right steering angles when there
is a difference in the turning radius due to the characteristics, etc. of the vehicle.

Maximum steering angle

The EPA function basically determines the maximum steering angle of each channel.

The functions shown below may have been adjusted or the operating range set by EPA
function may be exceeded. Check the linkage each time the following functions are
adjusted.

- Sub trim (all channels)

- Program mixing slave side (all channels)

- Tilt mixing (steering, channel 3)

- Idle up (throttle)

- Start Function, Engine Cut (throttle)

- Throttle acceration (throttle)

ATL trim

ATL trim allows adjustment of the brake side operation amount during operation.
Therefore, when the operating angle is adjusted with throttle EPA, ATL trim must also
be taken into account.

Remark

When the steering angle is insufficient even though EPA is increased to maximum

(120%), the steering angle can be increased somewhat by using program mixing.

(Setup example: See page 85.)

Warning

ｎ

Operate each servo over its full stroke and be sure

ｊ

the linkage does not bind or is not loose.

The continuous application of unreasonable force to a servo may
cause damage and excessive battery drain.

Adjust the steering servo so that unreason­able force is not applied to the servo by the
chassis at maximum servo travel.

Caution!

A howling noise indicates

that the steering servo is

improperly set.

Decide the EPA value
at the contact point.

Function

Adjust the throttle servo so that unreasonable force is not applied when the engine carburetor is full open, full closed, and
the brakes are applied fully.
Especially, the braking effect becomes poor by heating of the brakes while running. Before running, adjust the suitable
maximum servo travel so that unreasonable force is not applied even when the servo travel is increased while running.

Throttle Acceleration "ACCEL"

(Throttle system)

The servo will jump to the input position at its maximum possible speed. Unlike expo­nential, which adjusts the whole throttle movement into a curve, throttle acceleration
simply "jumps" away from neutral and then leaves the remaining response linear.

Operation

- Operation near the throt­tle trigger neutral position
becomes a sharp rise.

- The forward and brake
sides can be set separate­ly.

- When the brake mixing
function (p.74) is set, the
CH3/CH4 brake can also
be set.

Set value

The standard value (100% point) of this setup affects the operation amount set by
throttle EPA function.

Convenient usage method

For gasoline engine cars, the linkage must have a
clearance because one servo controls the engine
carburetor and brake. Thus, there is a noticeable
time delay at both the forward and brake sides.
Sharp response comparable to that of electric mo­tor cars is obtained by reducing this clearance at
the transmitter side.

Fail Safe/Battery Fail Safe Function "F/S"

(All channel)

Fail Safe Mode (F/S)

This function moves each servo to a preset position when the receiver cannot receive the
signals from the transmitter for some reason.

-When "Rx Type"(p.46) is set "FASST-C1" and "Servo Response"(p.46) is "NORMAL", the setting fail safe (F/S) is only
throttle (TH). Other channels are in "OFF" mode.

-The fail safe data is transferred from the transmitter to the receiver 10 seconds after
the transmitter power is turned on and every minute thereafter. Usually the power is
turned on in transmitter and then receiver order. Therefore, data is not transferred for
about 1 minute after the receiver power is turned on.

-For gasoline engine cars, for safety we recommend that this fail safe function be used
to set the throttle channel in the direction in which the brakes are applied.

*"AUTO TRANSFER" blinks during

data transfer.

Hold mode (HOLD)

This function holds the receiver in its position immediately before reception was lost.
It is an R604FS and other C2 type receiver only function. When the receiver used is
the R603FF/FF C1 type, this function cannot be used because the receiver type is set to

FAS ST- C1" by receiver type setting (p.46).

"

Off mode (OFF)

This function stops output of signals to the servos and places the servos into the free
state when the receiver cannot receive.

The F/S, HOLD, and OFF modes are automatically reset when signals from the trans­mitter can be received again.

Battery fail safe function (BATT-F/S)

If the receiver battery voltage drops below a certain value when this function is enabled,
the throttle servo moves to the position set by fail safe function. When the battery volt­age recovers, the battery fail safe function is automatically reset.

-This function cannot be used when the throttle (TH) is not set to fail safe (F/S).

-For an R603FS/FF with RX TYPE (page 46) set to C1 types "FASST-C1", when throttle (TH) is set to fail safe (F/S), the
battery fail safe function is executed automatically. It cannot be set at the transmitter.

Throttle Speed "THSPD"

Function

65

Start Function, Engine Cut "START"

(Throttle system)

When the throttle trigger is set to full throttle simultaneously with starting when the
track is slippery, the car wheels will spin and the car will not accelerate smoothly. When
the Start function is activated, merely operating the throttle trigger slowly causes the
throttle servo to automatically switch from the set throttle position to a preset point so
that the tires do not lose their grip and the car accelerates smoothly.

With Start function

Tires grip the track firmly- Car accelerates

Without Start function

Wheels spin- Car does not accelerate

Start Function Operation

- When the throttle trigger is moved to the preset position (trigger position: TG.P), the
throttle servo moves to the preset position.

- When the throttle trigger is operated slowly so that the wheels will not spin, the car
automatically accelerates to the set speed.

- This function is effective only for the first throttle trigger operation at starting. This
function has to be activated before every start.

- When the throttle trigger is returned slightly, the Start function is automatically deac­tivated and the set returns to normal throttle trigger operation.

Engine Cut Function

When the switch is pressed, the throttle servo will move to the preset position without
regard to the throttle trigger position. This is convenient when used to cut the engine of
boats, etc. (The function select switch function. See page 88)

Brake Mixing "BRAKE"

(Throttle, 3rd channel system)

This function is used when the front and rear brakes must be adjusted independently
such as a 1/5 scale GP car. This mixing uses the 2nd CH for the rear brakes and the 3rd
or 4th CH for the front brakes; or, controls the front brakes with the 3rd CH and 4th CH
servos or controls the 2nd CH by independent throttle and controls the rear and front
brakes with the 3rd CH and 4th CH. In addition, mixing which varies the 3rd CH and
4th CH brake rate in proportion to steering operation is also possible.

When "TRG-BRK" was set to "CUT OFF" by boat mode function

When "CUT OFF", which prohibits trigger brake side operation, was set in the boat
mode (p.78), the brake mixing function will not actually operate even if set.

Setting 4WS mixing

When using 4WS mixing, use the 3rd CH of this brake mixing function.

Operation

-When braking, mixing is applied to 2nd CH

3rd CH, 4th CH.

-3rd CH and 4th CH brake amount, 2nd CH, 3rd CH, and 4th CH brake delay, and 3rd
CH and 4th CH brake EXP and ABS can be set.

-Steering mixing which varies front brakes 3rd CH and 4th CH matched to the steering

Tilt mixing

Tilt mixing uses an outboard engine and applies bidirectional mixing from rudder
(steering) to channel 3 and from channel 3 to rudder so that with a boat, rudder opera­tion and tilt mixing operation can be performed by 2 servos.

Tilt mixing can be performed by rudder operation, by steering wheel and 3rd channel.

Effect of set value of other functions on tilt mixing

Steering side EPA function, STEXP function, STSPD function, or D/R function setting
also affects channel 3 side operation. However, the channel 3 servo is not reversed by

(Throttle system)

-The neutral brake function is a function switch function (page 88), and setting the neu­tral brake function ON/OFF switch is necessary.

Neutral brake, which applies the brakes at the throttle trigger neutral position, can
be set. However, for Futaba speed controller (ESC) MC950CR, MC851C, MC602C,
MC402CR, etc, considering safety, when the neutral position is not confirmed, the set
will not enter the operation mode to prevent the motor from rotating instantly when the
power is turned on. When using the MC950CR, MC851C, MC602C, MC402CR, etc.,
check that the ESC is in the neutral position and set the neutral brake function switch to
ON after the set enters the operation mode.

Operation display

An LED blinks while the neutral brake function is active (when LED is enabled). In
addition,

appears on the initial screen and menu screen.

-This function allows selection of the forward side and brake (reverse) side operation ra­tio from 70:30 or 50:50 by changing the neutral position of the throttle servo.

Idle-Up "IDLUP"

(Throttle system)

This function is a function select switch function. The idle-up function ON/OFF switch
must be set. (Page 88)

It is used to improve engine starting performance by raising the idling speed when the
engine of a gasoline car (boat) is started.

This function is also effective when you want to prevent braking when the power was
turned off during running due to the effect of gear ratio setting and the motor used with
a motor car. However, when using the MC950CR, MC851C, MC602C, MC402CR, etc.,
check the ESC neutral position and set the idling function switch to ON after the set en­ters the operation mode, the same as the neutral brake function (page 80).

Operation

The throttle neutral position is offset to the forward side or brake side. There is no link­age locking, etc. because there is no change near the maximum operation angle even
when the neutral position is offset by this function.

Timer Function "TIMER"

Use the timer by selecting one of the four timers UP TIMER, DOWN TIMER, LAP

TIMER and LAP NAVIGATE timer.

UP TIMER function

- The UP TIMER can be used to count the time between start and stop, etc.

- The timer repeatedly starts and stops each time the switch
is operated and accumulates the time between each start
and stop. (When the count reaches 99 minutes 59 seconds,
it returns to 00 minutes 00 seconds and repeats the count.)

- The first start operation can be linked to the throttle trig­ger.

- An alarm sound can be set. The passage of time is announced by sounding of a buzzer
(beeps) each minute after starting.

- Alarm :Generates a beep at the set time (minutes).

- Prealarm :Alarm advance announcement sound. Sounding starts the set time (seconds) before the
alarm. (beeps)

- After starting, the timer is enabled and can be stopped by switch even when the display
switches to another screen.

92

FUEL DOWN TIMER function

The fuel down timer is used primarily to check the refueling time of gasoline engine
cars. (The remaining time is displayed.)

- Each time the switch is pressed, the timer is restarted and

Function

the set time is counted down. The start time becomes the
alarm set time. (When counted down to 00 minutes 00 sec­onds, the timer becomes an up timer.)

- The fuel down timer can be initially started by throttle trigger.

- An audible alarm can be set. In addition, the passing of time is indicated by sounding
of a buzzer each minute after starting.

- Alarm :Buzzer sounds at the set time (minute).

- Prealarm :Alarm advance notice sound. Beeping begins the set time (seconds) before the alarm.

- After starting, the timer continues to count even if the LCD switches to another screen.

Timer Function "TIMER"

LAP TIMER

LAP TIMER function

- The LAP TIMER can memorize each lap time of each switch operation. (98 laps)

- The race time can be set. Switch operation after the set
time by alarm has elapsed automatically stops the timer..
Prealarm can also be set. The passage of time is announced
by sounding of a buzzer (beeps) each minute after starting.

-Alarm :Generates a beep at the set time.
Prealarm :Starts sounding the set time (second) before the alarm. (beeps)

- The first start operation can be linked with the throttle trigger.

(LAP TIMER operation)

- When lap timer is selected, the number of laps (LAP) and the lap memory No. (No.)
and current lap time (TIME) are displayed on the setup screen.

- Number of laps (LAP):Counts up each time the switch is pressed after starting. The numbers blink
for 3 seconds after the switch was pressed. To prevent erroneous counting, switch operation is not
accepted during this period..

- Lap memory No. (No.):Each lap time is memorized in a lap memory. The lap times are written se­quentially from the number after the preceding data. After lap memory "No. 100", the lap No. returns
to "No. 1".

- The lap time data memorized in the lap memory can be checked at the lap list (See p. 97) screen.

- Lap time (TIME):During the first 3 seconds, the last lap time is displayed and then the current lap
time is displayed. At starting, "0" is displayed for 3 seconds.

LAP NAVIGATE timer

LAP NAVIGATE timer function

- This function sounds a buzzer at a fixed interval after the timer starts. Since only the
buzzer can be restarted when the switch is pressed during timer operation, this function
can be used as the training run, etc. target time. (Lap navi­gation alarm) The passage of time is announced by sound­ing of a buzzer (beeps) every minute after starting.

- The first start operation can be linked with the throttle
trigger.

- The alarm sounds (alarm/prealarm) can be set separately from the fixed interval buzzer.

- Alarm :Generates a beep at the set time (minutes).

- Prealarm :Alarm advance announcement sound. Sounding starts the set time (seconds) before the
alarm. (beeps)

- After starting, the timer is enabled and can be stopped by switch even when the display
switches to another screen.
