Default Switches on the Controller

Hello folks. New to helis, so go easy on my newb question.

The helicopter I got came with a controller that has a toggle switch on each side above the sticks and a button on the right side next to the switch. I know that on some collective pitch helis you can use one switch to help in an emergency landing, but what the heck are these for on mine? Mine is a Falcon 40 (fixed pitch) and the switches don't seem to do anything.

Also, there is an 8 pin dip switch bank on the back. What's that for?

There's no mention of any of these in the documentation. Thanks!

I found a pic where you can see the switches and button.
