Futaba T7cap
 

Just got my first computer radio and have a question. I can't figure what the numbers in the screen across from the voltage are. Example 1H03, the H is flashing. Also cant do the count up on the timer. Need help. I have always been told that a computer is only as smart as the user.

If I'm not mistaken the numbers are the accumulated run time on your tx - 1 hour and 3 minutes.

Sometimes the computer is smarter.

That is the timer of usage since the last reset. Basicly you can reset that when you recharge to give you an idea of how much time you have left till next recharge.

that is your on time counter, the one that counts with the power switch being on. And you can reset it just like Safty Hawk said. The timer function gives you a timer you can set to the throttle stick or any switch. you also have an option of a up or a down counting timer in the timer menu.

I found that it was easy to understand if I had the manual, and a plane to work with and see how it affects the plane. Of course a full house plane helps to really see the results.

i have the t7cap radio and can set the timer but i have not figured how to set the overall time counter for the reciever. is there anyone who knows how to reset this.

There is no timer for the receiver. There is a transmitter timer which counts the time it is on until reset and, if you choose to activate them, there are individual timers for each model in memory. See page 37 of the manual.

The transmitter timer is reset to zero from the startup screen by cursoring until it blinks and then pressing the dial.

Setting the individual model timers is trickier and the manual is not very clear. Select the model you want and open the timer menu. Now if you want the timer to start slight above idle move the throttle a few clicks up. Turn timer ON. Cursor to the time and dial in the desired value. Set mode UP and the switch to 3 with the little arrow pointing up. Press END. (I hope I got this right for you.)

How does one reset the total time timer? Thanks

You click the buttons to go up or down in the menu until that timer flashes, then you hold the scroll wheel....I think. I sold my 7c a couple weeks ago, but I'm pretty sure that's how it's done.
