Data Transfer "MDL TRANS"

This function copies the model memory data of one T4PM to another T4PM. Connect

the communication port of both T4PMs with the optional DSC cable (For updating
transmitter with CIU-3).

Note: If the T4PM battery voltage drops, the display switches to low battery display.
Therefore, use this function when there is ample battery capacity remaining.

Note: Since the receiving side writes the new contents of the currently selected model
memory, always check the model number before executing this function.

Data is not interchangeable with another type of transmitter.

Fail-safe Function "FAIL SAFE"

Fail-safe Mode (F/S)

(All channel)

This function moves each servo to a preset position when the receiver cannot receive

the signals from the transmitter for some reason.

-The fail-safe data is transferred from the transmitter to the receiver 10 seconds after
the transmitter power was turned on. The data is transferred every 5 seconds after that.
Be careful because normally the transmitter power is turned on  rst and the receiver
power is turned on next and the data is transferred for approximately 10 seconds after
the receiver power is turned on.

-For gas power 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.

Hold mode (HOLD)

This function holds the receiver in its position immediately before reception was lost.

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 trans-

mitter can be received again.

Battery fail-safe function (B-FS)

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).

Software Update

Whenever improvements and new functions are available, the software of your T4PM
radio transmitter can be updated easily online free of charge. The zip le of the update
data will be shown on our website. You can download it and make a copy on your mi-

croSD card.

Below is the procedure for the software update.

Caution:

should be fully charged.

Update method

1

Extract the zip file on your computer. The "FUTABA" folder will be created on your computer

and copy the "FUTABA" folder onto your microSD card.

Note: If the microSD card has already had "another FUTABA" folder before you make a copy, the "FUTABA" folder is

OVERWRITTEN.

2

Insert the microSD card with "FUTABA" folder that contained the update software into the

SD card slot on your the T4PM.

3

Turn on the T4PM power while pressing

down the "END" button. The software update
is started.

Before you update the software, the battery that is connected to the T4PM

*Insert the card with the metal terminals side at the bottom.

*Remove the card by pushing it in and then pulling it out.
*Install and remove the card by pushing it in until you hear

a click.

Cover

4

When the software update is completed,

"SUCCESS" message is shown on the LCD
display of your T4PM.

Function

5

Turn off the power switch of your T4PM and

remove the microSD card from the card slot.

(Commercial product)

SD standard and SDHC standard microSD cards

SD/SDHC format. Maximum size 32GB.

(Some models may not be operated by card.)

SDXC format is not supported.

*The data in the memory card cannot

be guaranteed regardless of the con
tents and cause of trouble or dam­age. Always back-up the valuable
data in the memory card.

-

Caution

Always insert and remove the microSD card in the state in which the transmitter power is off.

If the microSD card is removed while being accessed (read or write), the card itself and the data may be destroyed.

Do not install and remove the microSD card with the microSD card slot facing your face.

If you remove your fingers quickly, the microSD card may fly out and strike your face and is dangerous.

Since the microSD card is a precision device, do not subject it to unreasonable force or shock.

Power supply and low battery alarm

The T4PM can use an optional rechargeable battery. However, the battery alarm setting
is different from that of the dry cell battery (alkaline battery recommended). Therefore,
always set the battery type to match the power source used. Always set the battery type

to "LiFe2" especially when using a Futaba rechargeable type battery. If the set is used
at "DRY3" setting, the time from low battery alarm to system stopping will become ex-

tremely short. (See page 41, for a detailed description of the battery types.)

If the data in the transmitter is not transferred normally

when the power is turned on, an audible alarm will sound

played on the LCD.

- To stop the alarm, turn off the power.

- Turn the power back on. If the alarm is not generated again, there is no
problem.
