(The display screen is an example. The screen
depends on the model type.)
The Failsafe function may be used to set up positions
that the servos move to in the case of radio interference.
This function only works with G3 or PCM receivers
(FM receivers do not have failsafe capability).
You may set either of two positions for each
channel: Hold, where the servo maintains its last
commanded position, or Failsafe, where each servo
moves to a predetermined position. You may choose
either mode for each channel.
The T12FG system also provides you with an
advanced battery monitoring function that warns
you when the receiver battery has only a little
power remaining. In this case, each servo is moved
to the defined failsafe position (PCM1024: CH3
only.) The battery failsafe may be released by
operating a predefined control on the transmitter
(default is throttle), do not continue to fly, land
as soon as possible. Remember, if the predefined
