Default RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System


ORIGINAL: rogerkeatley Can anyone tell me how to make the startup conditions be model specific, as since the update to 1.08 they have all become system wide. Additionally how do you now cancel the low battery warning when it activates. I have to walk out to my combat wing with the TX beeping away ! Thanks.
1. Which start up conditions your are referring, V1.08 has given more control over existing system wide features.
Aurora 9 - Firmware Update V1.08 Manual....
refer to: .Screen shots of the new displays plus additonal information and attached pictures..

2. Negative to a total turnoff of alarm, however there is an easy reset =

Timer Reset Method: Press & hold the Timer (1 or 2) screen for about 2 seconds which you want to reset.

Aurora 9 - Timer x 3 Set and Beeps. Count Down/Up Set On/Off % of Throttle Stick Movement and reset method for V1.04<V1.07.
partial extract
"Aurora has a total of three timers.
. Two can be assigned to count either up or down and assigned to be activated via a switch or the throttle stick.
. The third timer is an overall timer to show how long the radio has been powered up. Reset this after charging the batteries so you can track the runtime of the radio and estimate how long until you will need to recharge
. Timer beeps every one minute and then once ever second at the 20 second to go mark and then twice every second for the last 10 seconds."
Aurora V1.07. - Timer: Improved Functions

Aurora 9 -Warning Alarms
"Battery Low Voltage Alarm - Voltage alarm may sound on Aurora when RX/Power battery is disconnected. This is because the telemetry cycles about 3 times/second, sometimes when you are unplugging the battery it will sense the voltage drop and the warning will kick in, but sometimes it won't because once you unplug the battery there is no signal going back to the TX. This is a hit and miss thing due to the way the system works."
This cannot be silenced except by turning the TX Off, a good reminder..
