Improvements & Corrections

• DX5R/DX5Pro only – Re-enabled Lap Timer.
• Show Max Altitude on GPS screen for recording jumps and hill climb ascents. Note that GPS altitude is not especially accurate, and is subject to environmental variation.
• Show Max Speed on GPS screen. Pressing CLEAR on this screen will reset speed, altitude, and distance measurements.
• Added a reminder screen to turn off your model before using the Calibrate option.
• Corrected default inactivity alarm settings (new radios only).
• Corrected spontaneous resets when using the Channel Assign function for auxiliary channels.
• Switches I, L, and R are now properly supported for the channel inputs.
• Changed the Smart Battery automatic alarm for new batteries from requiring 4.1V down to 4.0V by default. This prevents inadvertent “not charged” alarms when changing to a new battery that’s still pretty full.
