FUTABA TMA-1 Instruction Manual

Page 1
Thank you for purchasing a Futaba TMA-1 Telemetry adapter. This TMA-1 displays the telemetry data from a telemetry receiver on a tablet or smart phone. TMA- 1 is connected on a tablet or smart phone. An exclusive application is downloaded to the tablet or a smart phone.
Telemetry data can be seen more legible.
Connection Method
Required
Neither water nor fuel must adhere to TMA-1.
As with any electronic components, proper precautions are urged to prolong the life and increase the performance of the TMA-1.
Do not use the TMA-1 with anything other than an R/C model.    
An operator must not look at a screen.    
You may loose sight of the aircraft during
ight and this is extremely dangerous. Have an
assistant on hand to check the screen for you. A pilot should NEVER take his eyes off his aircraft.
