Integrated ESC Telemetry
BNF: This aircraft includes telemetry between the ESC and receiver, which can
provide information including RPM, voltage, motor current, throttle setting (%), and
FET (speed controller) temperature.
PNP: The ESC in this aircraft is capable of delivering telemetry information over
the throttle connection when paired with a Smart compatible Spektrum telemetry
receiver. It will function with a normal PWM servo siganl for common radio control
systems.
For more information about compatible transmitters, firmware updates, and how
to use the telemetry technology on your transmitter, visit www.SpektrumRC.com.
SAFE
Select Switch Designation BNF
®
Once SAFE Select is enabled, you can choose to fly in SAFE mode full-time, or
assign a switch. Any switch on any channel between 5 and 9 can be used on your
transmitter.
If the aircraft is bound with SAFE Select disabled, the aircraft will be in AS3X mode
exclusively.
CAUTION: Keep all body parts well clear of the propeller and keep the
aircraft securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.
IMPORTANT: To be able to assign a switch, first verify:
• The aircraft was bound with SAFE Select enabled.
• Your choice for the SAFE Select switch is assigned to a channel between
5 and 9 (Gear, Aux1-4), and travel is set at 100% in each direction.
• The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle direction are set to normal, not reverse.
• The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle are set to 100% travel. If dual rates are
in use, the switches need to be in the 100% position.
See your transmitter manual for more information about assigning a switch to a channel.
Assigning a Switch with Stick Inputs
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Power on the aircraft.
3. Hold both transmitter sticks to the inside bottom corners, and toggle the desired
switch 5 times quickly (1 toggle = full up and down).
Mode 1 and 2 transmitters
TIP: Use the channel monitor to verify channel movement.*
* This example of the channel
monitor shows the stick

positions for assigning a
switch, the switch selection

4. The control surfaces of the aircraft will move, indicating the switch has been
selected.
Repeat the process to assign a different switch or to deactivate the current switch.
