Linear Mix: a mix that maintains the same relationship of master to slave throughout the whole range. Ex: a mix from
one flap servo to another flap servo at 100% causes the 2nd servo to follow the first servo’s movement exactly through
all points of travel. See Programmable mix.
LINK: mixing function that allows multiple mixes to work in conjunction. See Programmable mix.
Lithium battery: see Backup battery.
Linear: linear, directly proportional. See AIRBRAKE.
Low Band: 72MHz equipment on a channel from 11 to 35. Receiver channel may be changed to any channel within the
low band without needing retuning. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8
LOW BATTERY warning: transmitter’s battery is below a safe flight voltage. Recharge immediately. See Error messages.
Low rate: see D/R, EXP.
MANUAL: controlled by a switch. Ex: see AIRBRAKE.
Master: the primary control. See Programmable mix.
Mechanical gyro: uses a mechanical gyroscope (like a child’s toy gyro) to sense change of angle. See Gyros and
Governors.
MEMORY MODULE INITIALIZE: warning to indicate that the CAMPac installed in the port is not yet formatted or formatted
for a different model of transmitter. Pressing the MODE BUTTON initializes the CAMPac, deleting any existing data and
formatting the CAMPac for use in the 9C super. See Error codes.
MHz: Megahertz. Unit used to express frequency. 72MHz channels are aircraft only frequencies; 75MHz are ground model
only frequencies; 27MHz are air and ground both. 50MHz is legal for HAM amateur license holders. See Frequency.
Mix, mixing rate, mix offset, mix links: See Programmable mix.
MIXER ALERT warning: notifies user that a mix is activated which is not considered desirable for engine startup. See
Error messages.
Mode: definition of which channels are assigned to which STICK movements. All 9C super radios shipped in the US are Mode
2, with elevator and aileron on the right STICK. To change mode, please visit www.futaba-rc.com.

MODEL COPY: used to duplicate the settings of one model already in memory into a second model memory. Often used
to set up 2 similar models, or make a copy of a working model to experiment with new setups. Also used to copy
models to/from the CAMpac data storage unit. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .26

MODEL SELECTION ERROR: the memory last loaded in the transmitter is not currently available (usually because it is on a
CAMPac not currently in the transmitter). See Error messages.

Module: electronic component which can easily be removed/replaced into the transmitter, which houses all transmission
components. Transmission frequency can be safely, legally and easily changed (including from band to band) by
changing the module. TP-FM is the standard module, available on any 50MHz or 72MHz frequency. You may also
purchase TP75FM for ground use, 75MHz. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .9
