SWITCH ASSIGNMENT TABLE The factory default functions activated by the switches and knobs for a 10CAG Mode 2 transmitter are shown below. Most 10CG functions may be reassigned to non-default positions quickly and easily. Basic control assignments of channels 5-10 are quickly adjustable in AUX-CH (see p. 46). For example, the channel 5 servo, which defaults to SWITCH E for retract use, can easily be unassigned (NULL) to allow for easy use as a second rudder servo in a mix, or to a slider or dial for bomb door or other control. Note that most functions need to be activated in the programming to operate. 10CAG Mode 1, 10CHG, and 10CG transmitter functions are similar but reverse certain switch commands. Always check that you have the desired switch assignment for each function during set up.

Changing Modes (TX SETTING): Hold down MODE and END keys while turning on the transmitter to enter the TX SETTING menu. Stick Mode: The screen reads "STK-MODE". Use the DIAL to change this to the correct mode. Note that this will NOT change the throttle and elevator rachets, etc. Those are mechanical changes that must be done by a service center. Throttle Reverse: THR-REV is a special function that reverses the entire throttle control, including moving the trim functionality to the sticks upper half. To use THR-REV, CURSOR DOWN to THR-REV and turn the DIAL to REV. Turn the transmitter off and back on. This change affects all models in the radio. (GLID only): The separate THR-REV settings for each model can be set. (See p.33) Display language: can be selected the display language of the function name, etc. in each function menu. The screen reads "LANGUAGE". Change this to the desired language. Area Selection (Frequency Range): The T10CG transmitter has been designed to function in many countries. If you will be utilizing this transmitter in a country other than France, please make sure that TM10-MODE is set to "GENERAL". If, however, this transmitter will be utilized in France, it must be set to "FRANCE".
Power Down mode (TM10 POWER MODE): We have installed a special "Power Down Mode" for doing a ground range check. Hold down DIAL while turning on the transmitter to call TM10 POWER MODE menu.
Power Down Mode: To activate the "Power Down Mode" press DIAL and the home screen will appear. During this mode, the RF power is reduced so the range test can be performed. In addition, when this mode is activated the blue LED on the front of the transmitter starts blinking and the transmitter gives users a warning with a beep sound every 3 seconds. The "Power Down Mode" continues for 90 seconds and after that the power will return to the normal level. To exit the "Power Down Mode" before the 90 seconds, press DIAL again. This mode is available one time only so if you need to reuse this function the transmitter power must be cycled and the "Power Down Mode" reset. NEVER "Power Down Mode" is active. Power Off Mode: To use the RF power off mode, CURSOR DOWN to OFF and press DIAL. During this mode, the RF power is turned off. The blue LED on the front of the transmitter is turned off.

Coaxial cable Antenna from the standard Futaba receiver. These receivers incorporate two separate antennas into their design which enables them *Must be kept as straight as possible. to receive the radio frequency transmission at two different locations. Futaba's dual antenna diversity then seamlessly selects the best signal reception between these antennas to ensure that there is no loss of signal. To obtain the best results of the diversity function, please refer to the following instructions:

1. The two antennas must be kept as straight as possible. Otherwise it will reduce the effective range. 2. The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other. 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 3. The antennas must be kept away from conductive materials, such as metal, carbon and fuel tank by at least a half inch. The coaxial part of the antennas does not need to follow these guidelines, but do not bend it in a tight radius. 4. Keep the antennas away from the motor, ESC, and other noise sources as much as possible.

and temperature extremes. For protection, wrap the receiver in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing materials. It is also a good idea to waterproof the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and securing the open end of the bag with a rubber band before wrapping it with foam rubber. If you accidentally get moisture or fuel inside the receiver, you may experience intermittent operation or a crash. If in doubt, return the receiver to our service center for service.

LOW BATTERY ERROR: Warning sound: Continuous beep until transmitter is powered off. The LOW BATTERY warning is displayed when the transmitter battery voltage drops below 8.5V.
Land your model as soon as possible before loss of control due to a dead battery.
MIXER ALERT WARNING: Warning sound: 5 Beeps (repeated until problem resolved or overridden) The MIXER ALERT warning is displayed to alert you whenever you turn on the transmitter with any of the mixing switches active. This warning will disappear when the offending switch or control is deactivated. Switches for which warnings will be issued at power-up are listed below: :Throttle cut, idle-down, snap roll, airbrake GLID ACRO HELI:Throttle cut, throttle hold, idle-up If turning a switch OFF does not stop the mixing warning: When the warning does not stop even when the mixing switch indicated by the warning display on the screen is turned off, the functions described previously probably use the same switch and the OFF direction setting is reversed. In short, one of the mixings described above is not in the OFF state. In this case, reset the warning display by pressing CURSOR LEVER. Next, change one of the switch settings of the duplicated mixings. BACKUP ERROR: Warning sound: 4 beeps (repeated continuously) The BACKUP ERROR warning occurs when the transmitter memory is lost for any reason. If this occurs, all of the data will be reset when the power is turned on again. [Note] At this warning display, the transmitter transmits in 2.4G-10CH mode even if the set-up mode is 2.4G-7CH mode. Do not fly when this message is displayed: all programming has been erased and is not available. Return your transmitter to Futaba for service.
MEMORY MODULE INITIALIZE DISPLAY This warning appears when an (optional) CAMPac MODE BUTTON is pressed, initialization of the module begins, after which the memory module can be used. Once the module is initialized, the display will not appear again. The 10C CANNOT convert data from other radio types (i.e. 8U, 9Z). Installation of a CAMPac with data from another radio type will result in reinitialization of the CAMPac and loss of all data. RF ERROR: Warning sound: A single long beep. The single beep lets you know that the RF output has stopped for any reason. The blue RF light also goes out. Return your transmitter to Futaba for service.

MODEL submenu: includes three functions that manage model memory: MODEL SELECT, MODELCOPY and MODELNAME. Since these functions are all related, and are all basic features used with most models, they are together in the MODEL submenu of the BASIC menu. MODEL SELECT: This function selects which of the 15 model memories in the transmitter (or 33 in the optional CAMPacthe model's name and an image of its type are indicated after its number. (Each model memory may be a different model type from the other memories.) Note: If you are using the optional CAMPac-16K, your choices in MODEL SELECT and MODEL COPY will include 16-33, which are the model memories in the CAMPac. You do not have to COPY from the CAMPac to the transmitter prior to working with that model. T10CG/T10C CAMPac data compatibility The CAMPac data saved from a T10CG or conventional T10C transmitter can be used directly by a T10CG and T10C transmitter. As for the data of functions added by the T10CG: (T10C data -> T10CG): an initial value is set up at this time. (T10CG data -> T10C): the function doesn't work regardless of the data. T9C/T9CS CAMPac data conversion Although the CAMPac transmitter cannot be used directly, it is possible to use it by the following method. Copying the information to the model memory of a T10C transmitter. When using the CAMPac, the information will be displayed. For example, as "01<-Pac 01." Press DIAL for 1 second in this state and the check display of "Are you sure?" will appear. Press DIAL again, the data of CAMPac will be copied to model number"01" of the T10CG transmitter. As for the data of the function added by T10CG, In addition, refer to p.17 for the initializing method of the CAMPac. NOTE: When you choose a new model in the MODEL SELECT function, if the new model is set to a different modulation, you must cycle the transmitter power to change screen to remind you.

LINEAR PROGRAMMABLE MIXES (PROG.MIX1-4): Your 10CG contains four separate linear programmable mixes. (Note that mixer #5-8s mixing RATEs are set with a 5-point curve. HELI has mixer #5-6's mixing. see CURVE MIXES, p. 71.) There are a variety of reasons you might want to use these mixes. A few are listed here. All of the adjustable parameters are listed below, but dont let them default mixes, adjust them how you think they need to be, then use the servo screen to check and see if you were correct. As with all functions, a sample setup follows, step by step, to assist you.
Sample reasons to use linear programmable mixes: To correct bad tendencies of the aircraft (such as rolling in response to rudder input). To operate 2 or more servos for a single axis (such as two rudder servos).

GYA gyro mixing GYA series gyros: GYA series gyros are a high performance, compact, and light weight AVCS gyro developed for model airplane. Integrated sensor and control circuit make it easy to mount. GYA350: for airplane aileron, elevator, or rudder. GYA351: for airplane ailerons, especially two servos such as when using FLAPERON. GYA352: for airplane aileron, elevator, or rudder control. Two of these surfaces (axis) can be controlled by GYA352. GYA series gyro operation modes: The GYA gyros have two operations modes: AVCS mode and Normal mode. Normal mode: This mode performs general proportional control operation. For instance, it controls the gyro so that changes are countered when the attitude of the aircraft is changed by cross-wind, etc. AVCS mode: This mode performs both proportional and integrated control operation. The difference between Normal mode and AVCS mode operation is that whereas the Normal mode only counters changes in attitude, the AVCS mode returns to the original controlled variable simultaneously with countering changes in attitude. For example, during knife input is performed automatically by the gyro. Adjustability: Plug the gyro's sensitivity adjustment to channel 5, 7, or 8 of the receiver. (selectable) Full switch assignability (SWITCH A-H) Each rate setting may be set from 0 to NOR100% or AVC100% gain. NOR: Normal mode gain. AVC: AVCS mode gain Larger percentages indicate more gain, or gyro responsiveness. MIX-1,2: Two surfaces' sensitivity can be adjusted independently. Gyro gain adjustment: When the servo hunts, the gyro gain is too high. Lower the gain until the hunting stops. repeatedly. Precautions: When taking off and landing, always switch to the Normal mode. Taking off and landing in the AVCS mode is dangerous. We recommend that you use the rudder control gyro in the Normal mode. In the AVCS mode, rudder operation is necessary when turning because the weathervane effect is lost. Use the gyro in the Normal mode unless you are an expert in rudder operation. And we recommend that you also set to off (0%) mode for safety as follows. GOAL of EXAMPLE: STEPS: INPUTS: Set up a GYA gyro setting. (Ex: MIX-1) Open and activate the GYRO SENSE for 1 second. (If BASIC, function. C to GYRO SENSE. Activate the function. Optional: change switch assignment. Ex: select E. Adjust gyro rates as needed. (Ex: UP to NOR70%, CNTR to 0% (off), DOWN to AVC70% as starting points.)

GETTING STARTED WITH A BASIC HELICOPTER This guideline is intended to help you set up a basic (H-1) heli, to get acquainted with the radio, to give you a jump start on using your new radio, and to give you some ideas and direction on how to do even more with this powerful system than you may have already considered. It follows our basic format of all programming pagesa big picture overview of what we're trying to accomplish; a by name description of the steps to help acquaint you with the radio; and then a step-bystep instruction to leave out the mystery and challenge of setting up your model.
Aileron: changes cyclic lateral (roll). Rolls the helicopter. Tilts the swashplate to the left or right. CH1. Elevator: changes cyclic pitch.

THR-CURV/NOR: inputs the normal (NORM) throttle curve, which is usually not a linear response to THROTTLE STICK motion. Adjusting point 4 of the curve adjusts the engines RPM at the THROTTLE STICK midpoint, the desired position for hovering. The other 6 points are then adjusted to create the desired idle and maximum engine speed, and a smooth transition in-between. For more on throttle curves, see p. 101. PIT-CURV/NOR: inputs the normal (NORM) collective pitch curve, the collective pitch curve for flight near hover. The normal collective pitch curve is adjusted to match the throttle curve, providing the best vertical performance at a constant engine speed, with a starting curve of -4 base, +5 neutral, and +8 to +10 degrees of blade pitch maximum*. You can program the response over a 7-point curve for the best collective pitch angles relative to THROTTLE STICK movement. For more on collective pitch curves, see p. 101. REVO./NORM: mixes collective pitch commands to the rudder (a PITCH-RUDDER mix) to suppress the torque generated by changes in the main rotor's collective pitch angle, keeping the model from yawing when throttle is applied. REVO. is AVCS gyros. NOTE: There are three revo. mixes available: normal (NORM IDL1/2), and idle-up 3 (IDL3). All 3 are adjustable in the ADVANCE revo, including default points for clockwise and counter clockwise rotating rotors, see p. 101.
