[. . . ] VG6000 This equipment has been tested in accordance with the requirements contained in the appropriate Commission regulations. To the best of our knowledge, these tests were performed using measurement procedures consistent with industry or Commission standards and demonstrate that the equipment complies with the appropriate standards. Each unit manufactured, imported or marketed, as defined in the Commission's regulations, will conform to the sample(s) tested within the variations that can be expected due to quality production and testing on a statistical basis. We further certify that the necessary measurements were made by Kansai Electronic Industry Development Center, Ikoma Emission Measurement Station, 10830, TakayamaCho, Ikoma-City, Nara, 630-01 Japan.

[. . . ] NOTE: using Negative expo will make your ailerons and elevator more sensitive in the middle stick area which will make the aircraft reactions very fast. Adjustment is from +100 to -100. Page 14 VG6000 END POINT ADJUSTMENT ( EPA ) EPA will allow you to increase or decrease the total amount of travel the servo has. EPA is available on all channels and should only be used to fine tune maximum servo movement. All of your linkages and control surfaces should be as close as possible to the model specifications before decreasing or increasing EPA. A good example for EPA would be when you want to use 2 aileron servos on 2 different channels and you want to setup both to have the same amount of throws to each other up and down. NOTE: You must have the FLAPERON feature activated in order to use 2 sperate aileron servos. To use EPA, move the cursor to the EPA using the FUNCTION keys. Next use the CH/TIMER key to change to the channel you want to set your EPA. Next move the stick in the direction you want to increase or decrease and take note the arrows on the LCD screen. They will point in the direction you are adjusting. EPA can be set independently from side to side or up and down. Adjustment is from 0 to 150% in each direction. SERVO CENTERING ( CENT ) Servo centering to a great feature when it comes to setting up a new model and or setting your servo arms to right at 90 degrees. When using servo centering, take note that it will change not only the center position of the servo but as well change both left and right end points. Example, you installed a servo arm on your servo but it will not lineup perfectly 90% to the servo. You now can adjust the servo centering so now the arm is at 90% of the servo. Servo centering can be adjusted from 0 to 100% but is best kept within + or - 10% any more than that you will need to try another servo arm or adjust your linkage better. To use CENT, move the cursor to the CENT using the FUNCTION keys. Next use the CH/TIMER key to change to the channel you want to set your CENT. Adjustment is from +100 to -100. Page 15 VG6000 SERVO REVERSING ( REV ) After setting up your aircraft you find that the control surface is moving in the wrong direction, you can use the REV to reverse the direction that the servo operates. REV is available on all channels. To use REV, move the cursor to the REV using the FUNCTION keys. Next use the CH/TIMER key to change to the channel you want to change the REV. Next press either the INC+ or DEC- to change from NOR to REV. V-TAIL MIXING ( V-TAIL ) If you have a V-tail aircraft, you will need to activate this feature. [. . . ] Throttle cut only works when the stick is in the low position. Make sure the throttle barrel on your engine will go below the lowest idle position before adjusting throttle cut. Default is "0" setting are from 15 to -15 COUNT DOWN TIMER ( TIMER ) Count down timers help to remind you that it's time to land meaning lets get it down before we run out of fuel. If you know how long a normal flight is on your aircraft "example" 15:00 minutes, you can set the down timer to sound off at 13:00 minutes. [. . . ]
