Failsafe setup
The TBS Tracer supports two failsafe behaviors: cut and failsafe position. Setting them up correctly is
crucial for the safety of your model.
General setup
The failsafe setting is located in the receivers menu. To change the behavior:
1. Navigate in the receiver menu by your radio/ Lua script/ Agent X
2. Open the General menu
3. Change the FS. Mode setting to what you need it to be

Cut
This is the setting that you need to use if you have a flight controller that is capable of handling failsafe
behavior in your aircraft. When the link breaks up, the receiver will output no signal, which will be detected
by your flight controller (e.g. Betaflight, KiSS, Flight One, iNav, Ardupilot, etc).
Failsafe position
If you use a model without fc or with a fc that requires a special stick position (e.g. DJI NAZA) ,
failsafe-position is what you need.
With this setting, the receiver will output a previously taught position for all channels.
Important:
If you have set failsafe to “Position” and did not teach a position afterwards, the receiver will output the
last known position. This may lead to unwanted behavior!
Teaching a position
This may require the help of a second person, as it can be tricky to hold the sticks and activate the teach
button.
1. Power up your bound receiver and your radio with the Tracer transmitter in it
2. Open your  transmitter  menu
3. Hold the sticks and switches in the position you want them to be in a failsafe situation
4. Click on  Set fs. Mode and wait for the confirmation for the set position
If your failsafe setting was set to cut and you entered the teaching mode, the Tracer will change the type to
