16. Fail-Safe Setting
The Fail Safe settings permit having the servos run into a specific position if the receiver no longer receives any
transmitter signal. If the transmitter fails during a flight, the motor can be throttled automatically, for example, so that
the model cannot fly away uncontrolled.
Proceed as follows to set the fail safe position of the four control channels:
• First, switch on the transmitter and then the receiver.
• Push the setup button at the receiver with a pointed object (toothpick or similar) (also see figure 15, item 2) until the
LED at the receiver starts flashing slowly.
• Now you have 5 seconds to put the servos or motor controllers into the desired fail-safe position with the two servo
levers and operate the setup button in the receiver again.
• The LED in the receiver briefly flashes fast and then remains permanently lit.
Important!
To verify the fail safe setting, use the control lever to deflect the servos to the stop and then switch off the
transmitter.
The receiver now has no transmitter signal (the red LED in the receiver goes out) and will let the servos run
to the previously determined position at actual fail safe programming.
