Function of TransmitterETC62D-2.4GHz is a newly developed 6 channel proportional transmitter. The latest developed product of ART-TECH RC Hobby Corporation. The 2.4GHz RC system uses digital frequency-hopping technology; it has enormous advantage compared with traditional system: no crystal, no frequency interference, short antenna length and low power consumption.1. Flying time display: less than 1 minute seconds showed, more than 1 minute minutes showed. 2. Supply voltage display and low voltage alarm function: When the battery voltage is lower than 8.5V, the red LED flashes, and alarm. 3. Channel output reverse set. 4. 5 kinds of aircraft modes to choose， 12 independent aircraft data storage and call. 5. Mode I and mode II exchange. 6. Throttle protection: in order to avoid danger of starting the motor of a sudden, when throttle hold switch is turned on, throttle output value is the minimum. When boot, for various reasons (location of the assembly, curve setup), throttle output value is not the minimum, the red LED flashes and alarm, as shown in the figure. The throttle lose automatically locked out for a minimum value, when the transmitter adjustment is appropriate (that is, the throttle output is the smallest), the transmitter is unlocked. 7. Ch1 ch2 ch4 DR (Dual Rate) setting. 8. Ch1 ch2 ch4 EXP(exponential curve) setting. 9. All channel EPA (end of the process) setting. 10. Ch5 two-state setting (gyroscope sensitivity setting for helicopters, landing gear set up for fixed- wing planes). 11. Ch3 ch6 general and 3D mode curve set for general helicopters and CCPM helicopters 12. 4 groups channel mixing control 13. All channel output dynamic display 14. All channel mid-point regulation 15.
