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. 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 S
TICK
movements. All 9C 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 TJ75FM for ground use, 75MHz. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .9
