GLOSSARY

It will be helpful to understand the following terms before reading the rest of this manual. The terms are not in alphabetical order, but are in a logical order that prepares the reader for better understanding the next term. For additional terminology, please refer to the complete glossary that is located elsewhere in this manual.

Reversing (servo reversing): ; = & + # installation by allowing the user to electronically set the proper response direction for each servo.

Throw: When speaking of a control surface (such as an elevator or aileron), the throw is the distance that the surface moves. Control surface throw is usually

measured at the trailing edge (back) of the control surface and is expressed in inches or millimeters. The model in the diagram has 1/2” (13mm) of up elevator throw. Please note that throw might also refer to the distance that a

servo arm, wheel, etc. travels.

Dual Rate (D/R): On the 6J 2.4GHz the dual rate switch allows you to instantly

' + # ! +> { | ' + ` = # ' + maneuvers such as hovering, or when landing the model and the speed is slower thereby the model may not be as sensitive. It is also important to note that lower rates are better for beginners, who tend to over-control=

End Point Adjustments (EPA): Sets the overall, maximum distance that the servo rotates in either direction.

Exponential (EXPO): Normally, servos respond proportionally to control stick input from the transmitter. That is, if the stick is moved halfway, the corresponding servo will also move halfway. However, with exponential, the servo can be made to move more, or less, than the relative stick movement. Generally speaking, exponential is used to lessen, or lower, the servo movement. Exponential is commonly used to# # # # ; # #" ! ! # ' ## # ## =

Control response is milder around half-stick, but becomes increasing stronger as stick travel approaches 100%. Exponential is great for aerobatics and trouble situations.

Please note it is important to remember that dual rates adjust the amount of servo travel whereas the exponential adjustments determine where most of the travel will occur.

INTRODUCTION TO THE 6J- 2.4GHZ SYSTEM

Important! *#' #'; # + ' ? ## ' ! will prevent damage to the servos and/or control surfaces. Or, in the case of electric-powered models, the motor may unexpectedly turn on causing severe injury.

Transmitter

One of the many advantages of a computerized transmitter, like the T6J, is that they allow for functionality for both airplane and helicopter applications.

ACRO mode: ; # # # + # ‡ # & ' } !# ~ %& # ' ! # }ˆ ~ # {+ + &| ! + # Programming features include servo reversing and EPA on all channels, dual rates, exponentials and ! +# & * ## $ ! $! & # = ! and V-tail, elevon mixing may be selected.

HELI mode: The T6J also includes the necessary programming necessary to control rotary wing (helicopter) models. The T6J includes dual rate (D/R), idle up, throttle hold, and gyro sensitivity can be operated by the switches. Additional, programming features include servo reversing and EPA on all channels, dual rates, exponentials, throttle curve, pitch curve, throttle hold and pitch to rudder mixing (REVO).

Generally speaking, helicopter pilots prefer a smooth operation of the throttle stick rather than the ratcheting operation commonly used by fixed wing pilots. The procedure below will allow modelers to change from this ratcheting operation to the smoother throttle stick operation.

1)Open the battery cover on the back of the transmitter and remove the transmitter battery, or batteries.

2)Unplug the battery connection on the left side of the battery case.

3)Remove the four transmitter rear case screws and remove the rear case.

4)Change the ratchet plate on the gimbal section to the smooth ratchet plate for helicopter use.

RADIO INSTALLATION

Follow these guidelines to properly mount the servos, receiver and battery.

@Make certain that the alignment tab on the battery, switch and servo connectors are oriented correctly and{" | ! + !# them in. When unplugging connectors never pull directly on the wires. Instead, pull directly on the plastic connectors. Doing so will prevent any damage to the wires.

@If any servo wires are not long enough to reach the desired connection point, Futaba offers a complete range of servo extensions which may be purchased separately for this application.

@ Always mount the servos with the supplied rubber grommets. Do

IMPORTANT: In order to maximize the performance and enjoyment of the Futaba T6J transmitter, please read this section carefully and completely.

Receiver Installation:

@In order to obtain the best possible performance from your 2.4GHz aircraft receiver, we have developed the following guidelines and suggestions.

@The R2006GS has two antennas. In order to maximize signal reception and promote safe modeling Futaba has adopted a diversity antenna system. This allows the receiver to obtain RF# + = ! +# $

*Must be kept as straight as possible.

@ To obtain the best results from the diversity function, please refer to the following instructions:

The two antennas must be kept as straight as possible. Failure to do so might result in reduced operational range of the model.

Ideally, the two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other. However, the most critical aspect is to keep the antennas away from each other as much as possible.

Larger models can have large metal objects that can attenuate the

RF signal. In this case the antennas should be placed at both sides of the model. Then the best RF signal+ =

The antennas should be kept away from conductive materials, such as metal and carbon by at least halfinch. The coaxial part of the antennas does not need to follow these guidelines, but do not bend in a small radius.

The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other.

The main purpose of the photo demonstrates how the antenna should be placed.

@The receiver contains precision electronic parts. It is the most delicate radio component on-board the model and should be protected from temperature and other extreme conditions.

Allow air to circulate around the receiver. One tip is to utilize small foam blocks like standoffs to ensure that there is an air channel around the receiver.

If appropriate, waterproof the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and closing the open end with a rubber band before wrapping it in foam. If moisture enters the receiver, intermittent operation or a failure may result. Wrapping the receiver in a plastic bag also protects it from fuel and exhaust residue which, in some models, can work its way into the fuselage.

Powering the Receiver-

It is imperative to properly power the receiver and onboard equipment. The receiver battery, or onboard power supply should be of the design which will enable all servos and other equipment to maintain functionality throughout the flight without any inadvertent interruptions in the supply of power to the necessary equipment.

# # + !!# ! ' # = # ! that will vary during the operation of the various servos, etc. Failure to ensure a proper supply of power# # ! ##

As the receiver power needs vary significantly from model-to-model (for example, a .40-sized trainer will require a smaller battery than would a giant-scale aircraft), it would be difficult to make a general recommendation. As such, we would suggest that modelers refer to the suggestions of modelers with similar# # # &!

To activate the Power Down Mode and Perform A Range Check:

‘~ ; {< ' ˆ ' K | !# # ' K>ˆ% " switch on. When this mode is active the blue LED on the front of the transmitter will begin blinking and' ## ! ' +# # {< ' Down Mode”.

Audibly, the transmitter will beep one time every three seconds until it reaches the 90 second time limit. At which time the transmitter will beep two times and then return to the full power mode.

3) 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. Be certain the throttle stick is all the way down, and then start the engine. Perform another range check with your assistant holding the model and the engine running at various speeds.

ALARMS AND WARNINGS

; ; # ' # ' ## For example, whether you are in airplane or helicopter mode, should the batteries drop lower than the recommended safe voltage, an alarm will sound. When in the helicopter mode there are several additional warnings/alarms that may sound: stick position, throttle hold and/or idle up activated.

These are built-in safety features to ensure the longevity of your model and your enjoyment of the hobby. We strongly suggest adhering to the warnings accordingly.

Transmitter Battery voltage-

The T6J transmitter offers a programmable low voltage alarm that warns modelers when the transmitter# ! + # ' ! # '$+ = ' # !# # ` "# # ! +# ! # #

To set the Transmitter Battery Voltage Alarm-

1) Press and hold the MODE and END buttons while simultaneously turning on the transmitter.

2) Press the DATA INPUT lever upward or downward to select the voltage at which the Battery Voltage Alarm will sound. If using four AA Alkaline (dry cell) batteries,# # + Š \ # # ‡ ## [ [ K‹ battery, select the 5.0V setting.

Stick Position Alarm-

The T6J offers a throttle stick position alarm that warns of an unsafe throttle stick position when the transmitter is powered up, or turned on. If the throttle stick is not at the idle position, the transmitter will sound an audible alarm, and the screen will display a visual warning as well.

Move the throttle position to the lowest position in order to silence this alarm accordingly.

Throttle Hold and Idle Up Alarm (HELI only).

When in the helicopter mode, the T6J offers alarms when either, or both, the throttle hold and idle ups are' ; {K –| ' * ' # "

AA Alkaline batteries are available at any local hobby shop, grocery store, etc. A NiCd/NiMH battery pack will need to be purchased from a hobby shop.

Charging NiCd/NiMH batteries

As noted above, the T6J transmitter will function with four dry cell batteries, however, some modelers will opt to purchase a NiCd/NiMH battery pack and charger for use with this transmitter.

Failure to exercise caution while using this product and to comply with warnings pertaining to the charging ! # # # <# ## ' ! #

Whether you choose NiCd (nickel cadmium, pronounced nI-kad) or NiMH (nickel metal hydride) batteries, these packs require special care and charging. Read the charging instructions carefully.

1)With the transmitter power off, connect the transmitter charging cord coming from the A/C wall charger to the charge jack in the right side of the transmitter case. The receiver charging cord may be connected to the batteries two different ways: The charge cord may be connected directly to the battery pack, or to the vacant charge connector (black) coming from the on/off switch in the model. Charging through the switch is preferred as there will be no need to disconnect the battery.

Cycling should be done every one to two months, even during the winter or periods of long storage. If using a cycler with a readout, note the capacity after the batteries have been cycled. If there is a noticeable drop in capacity the batteries should be replaced.

Note: Charging your batteries with a Futaba A/C battery charger is always safe. However, fast charging with an aftermarket charger is acceptable as long as you know how to properly operate the charger. Never charge at a rate higher than suggested by the manufacturer. If not done correctly, fast charging can damage the batteries.

24

Throttle-Cut Function (TCUT)-

The Throttle Cut function is intended to be used for shutting off the engine, or disarming the speed control# $! ' # < {;‹ | + ' ## %_ accordingly. In internal combustion models, the throttle cut feature prevents inadvertently shutting off of the engine when lowering the throttle stick all the way (such as when coming in for a landing). When used in electric-powered applications, it will prevent inadvertent operation of the speed control.

As mentioned above, the T6J offers two versions of the Throttle-Cut (TCUT) function. The normal (NOR) is to be used for internal combustion engines. The electronic speed control (ESC) is to be used for electricpowered models.

To program the Throttle-Cut (TCUT) Function (Normal):

1) At the model select screen, press either the MODE or END button until the PARA (Parameter) screen appears.

2) Press SELECT until the TCUT (Throttle-Cut) screen appears. The normal (NOR) mode should be indicated in the right portion of the LCD.

6) Momentarily press and hold the throttle-cut (THR CUT) button on the left side of the transmitter. The electronic speed control in the model will be disarmed.

Note: When the throttle-cut button is released, the electronic speed control will continue to be disarmed. Set the throttle stick to slow position and press the throttle-cut button once again to reactivate the arming of the ESC.

Battery F/S Fail Safe (S-FHSS Mode only)

Your system provides a safety function called battery fail safe. The battery fail safe function is only applicable to the T6J when the transmitter is in the S-FHSS mode setting and the model utilizes an applicable S-FHSS receiver. The R2006GS receiver that accompanied this transmitter is an S-FHSS compatible receiver. If the transmitter mode is set to FHSS, the battery fail safe will not appear in the options.

When the airborne battery voltage drops below approximately 3.8V, the battery failsafe function moves the# ! ! #

!! # # # “ # # !!! # # + # " # ' ## approximately 30 seconds of throttle control before the battery fail safe function reactivates and reduces the throttle once again.

In the factory default settings, the battery fail safe function is activated. If you wish to de-activate, or turn off this setting, please follow the procedure below:

To program the Battery Fail Safe Function:

1) Turn the transmitter on.

2) Press and hold the MODE button to access the programming mode.

3) Press either the MODE key OR the END key to scroll through the function menus. Continue pressing the MODE or END key until the parameter (PARA) menu appears on screen.

4) Press SELECT until the BF/S (Battery Fail Safe) screen appears. If the Battery Fail Safe is active and you wish to turn it off, press and hold the DATA INPUT lever down.

The ON indication will begin to blink rapidly and will soon change to display OFF. If the Battery Fail Safe is not activated and you wish to turn it on, press and hold

26

the DATA INPUT lever upward. The OFF indication will begin to blink rapidly and will soon change to display ON.

5) Press and hold the END button to exit the programming menu.

Servo Reversing (REVR)-

The servo reversing function is used to change the direction that a servo responds to a control input from the transmitter (stick or switch). After using the reversing function, check all the controls on the model to be certain they are operating in the correct direction and that you did not inadvertently reverse a servo other than the one intended. Reversing the wrong servo (and not checking the response of the controls before each = ~ + “

Note: Reversing the throw of a servo channel will affect all mixings, etc. that interact with this channel. For& !# # # # ' ## # + = ! (if active). As such, we strongly suggest adjusting the servo reversing as one of the earliest steps in the programming of the T6J.

To reverse a servo:

1)Turn the transmitter on.

2)Press and hold the MODE button to access the programming mode.

3) Press either the MODE key OR the END key to scroll through the function menus. Continue pressing the MODE or END key until the reverse (REVR) menu appears on screen.

4)Press the SELECT key to select the channel you wish to reverse.

5)Push the DATA INPUT lever downward for 0.5 seconds to reverse (REV) the servo. Press the DATA INPUT lever upward for 0.5 seconds to make the servo operate in a normal (NOR) direction.

6)Repeat the steps above to bring forth and modify any other channels for which the travel direction is to be altered.

7)Press and hold the END button to exit the servo reverse menu.

Dual Rates/Exponential Settings-

Dual Rates/Exponential Settings vary slightly between the airplane (ACRO) mode and the helicopter (HELI) mode. As such, the information pertaining to these functions will be separated into ACRO and HELI sections below. Please adhere to the section that pertains to the model for which you are programming the T6J transmitter.

ACRO Dual Rates/Exponential Information:

Dual Rates (ACRO):

# ++ {ˆ | # + # # affecting the overall travel of the servo(s). Thus, decreasing the percentage value for a given servo will reduce the travel amount of the channel respectively.

For example, if the elevator of the aircraft travels 1/2” at the high rate and maximum stick input, and a value of 50% is input for the low rate, when the switch is moved to the low rate position, the servo moves exactly half as far per stick position. Following this example, if the elevator control input is all the way up, the maximum travel is now 1/4”

The T6J transmitter offers dual rates on the aileron, elevator and rudder channels. The dual rates are assignable to any of the switches on the transmitter and all are simultaneously activated by the dual rate switch selected.

The amount of travel decrease for each control may be set between 0% and 140% of the values set for the end points (explained in End Point Adjustment on page 33).

Note: It is possible to set a dual rate value to zero, thus causing no response from that channel when the dual rates are activated. If the dual rates are inadvertently set to zero, a crash could result.

Note: ! # # ! %<* # + ! #%<* ' # # # + ‘]]š

D/R Dual Rate Settings (ACRO)

To select the Switch/position to control the dual rates:

Prior to programming the dual rates for the aileron, elevator or rudder channels, we suggest selection of the switch that will be utilized to control the rate settings.

1)Turn the transmitter on.

2)Press and hold the MODE button to access the programming mode.

3)Press either the MODE key OR the END key to scroll through the function menus. Each time one of the aforementioned keys is pressed the menu will change accordingly. Continue pressing the MODE or END

28

key until the dual rates (D/R) menu appears on screen.

4) Press the SELECT key three (3) times to scroll past the channel settings to access the switch selection options.

5)Press the DATA INPUT lever either upward or downward until the desired switch selection appears onscreen.

6)Next, press the SELECT key one time to proceed to adjust the dual rates.

To adjust the dual rates:

1)Press the SELECT key to choose the desired channel (1-aileron, 2-elevator, 4- rudder). The channel number appears on the left side of the screen.

2)Place the dual rate switch (selected previously) in the desired position for the value you wish to change. ; ; ! # # ' ! # ’ ˆ arrow is pointing upward, the rate is being adjusted for the up position of the switch.

^ ## ! # ! ' { !| ! { ' | ! for the low rate.

3)Change the dual rate value for the respective channel using the DATA INPUT lever until the desired control throw is achieved. If you wish to change the control throw when the switch is in the other position as well, move the switch accordingly, then use the DATA INPUT lever to change the throw rates.

4)Repeat the procedure for the remaining channels as desired.

5)Press and hold the END button to save these settings and exit the programming menu.

Exponential Settings (EXPO) – (ACRO)

Exponential, or EXPO as it is commonly abbreviated, affects the travel of the servos around their center in relationship to stick movement. Exponential does NOT impact the overall travel volume of the servos. A ! &! # {›| } #~ " ! ;! ! # # ' ## + " # !# {${ &! # ! ' ## } ~ } ~ # neutral position.

The T6J transmitter offers exponential adjustments for the ailerons, elevator and rudder channels. The EXPO settings are controlled by the switch that has been selected for the dual rates (D/R). As with the dual rates settings, the exponentials are also simultaneously activated.
