As with all radio frequency transmissions, the strongest area of signal transmission is from the sides
of the transmitter's antenna. As such, the antenna should not be pointed directly at the model. If your

moves one step. If you continue pressing it, the trim
position starts to move faster. In addition, when
the trim position returns to the center, the tone will
change. You can always monitor trim positions by
referencing the LCD screen.
*You can select the trim step amount and the display unit
on the home screen on the T1-T6 setting screen within the
linkage menu.
Note: The trim positions you have set will be stored in the
non-volatile memory and will remain there.

analog input.
*You can select a slide lever and set the movement direction
on the setting screen of mixing functions.

be saved.
1. Open the battery cover.
2. Disconnect the battery connector.
3. Close the battery cover completely.
1.Plug the transmitter cord of the special
charger into the charging jack on the side of
the transmitter.
2. Plug the charger into an AC outlet.
3. Check that the charging LED lights.
When the battery will not be used for a long time, to
prevent it from deteriorating we recommend that it be
kept in about the half capacity state instead of fully
charged. Also be careful that the battery does not en-
ter the over-discharged state due to self-discharge.
When the transmitter will not be used for a long time,
you should always remove its battery.
Periodically (about every 3 months) charge the battery.
The charging time when charging the FT2F2100BV2
battery with the optional special charger is approxi-
mately 3 hours.
