Optional Transmitter Setup
If using any DSMX transmitter other than the included DXS (3 pos gear switch)
the radio will have to be configured correctly for the SAFE system to work
properly.
• SAFE Flight mode is selected using Channel 5 signal (high, middle, low)
• Panic mode is selected with Channel 6 signal (high, low)
Refer to your transmitter's manual for more information about transmitter
setup.
If using a 2 pos switch for Safe flight modes only Beginner and Experienced
modes will be active.
