Radio System FAQ
If I am using the trainer function of my 9Z, does my radio's auto-shut-off feature know it? Or do I need to turn off auto-shut-off while I'm instructing?
The 9Z's auto-shut-off feature only looks for commands given by your 9Z. Therefore, if you have this feature turned on while teaching and your student flies longer than the auto-shut-off time, the 9Z will shut down, with potentially disastrous results. The solution to avoid this ever occurring is simple — set your auto-shut-down feature to 5 minutes longer than you believe any student's flight time, including preflight check if you do that with the student in control, could potentially be. We recommend setting the timer to 20 minutes. This should avoid this potential issue at any time. Additionally, please note that by simply moving any stick, even only for a split second, is enough to restart the counter, so as a safety precaution, we recommend simply moving the sticks periodically while your student is flying (no need to take the plane back).
To change the timer to 20 minutes, complete the following keystrokes from the home screen: Q C G A G N R. See page 33 of your instruction manual for additional information.
