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).
