SPEKTRUM FAILSAFE TYPES
Spektrum receivers use two types of failsafe modes, Smartsafe
™
with hold last
command and Preset. These are set on the receiver during the binding process.
•SmartSafe
™
failsafe mode keeps the receiver from powering the throttle
channel in the event an aircraft is powered on prior to the transmitter, thus
reducing the likelihood of an electric powered model accidentaly powering on
when no transmitter signal is present. After connection, in the event of a hold, the
throttle channel will be moved to the position set during bind. This failsafe mode
will hold other control inputs at the last known command until the transmitter/
receiver link is re-established. If the throttle control has been mapped to another
channel in the transmitter setup, use the Preset failsafe mode.
•Preset failsafe mode returns all control commands to the binding presets.
It is important to know how and when to use each of the failsafe modes.
Consult the receiver manual for information.
