Detail program description - Swashplate mixer and Fail-safe
with the last received correct signal, temporarily
stored in the receiver. This feature is confi gured by
the settings as described below. This feature also
suppresses brief interference caused by e.g. local
drops in fi eld strength, which otherwise result in the
familiar "glitches". In this case, the red LED lights up
on the receiver.
If you have selected a PCM transmission mode for
the active model memory but have not yet carried
out the fail-safe programming, you will see a warning
message on the screen when you switch on the
transmitter:

Programming procedure
The "Fail Safe" function determines the behavior of
the receiver if communication between the transmitter
and the receiver is disrupted. Receiver outputs 1 …
16 can optionally …
preserve the current position ("hold"):1.
if communication is disrupted, all servos
programmed to "hold" mode remain at the
positions judged to be the last valid positions by
the receiver until the receiver picks up another
valid control signal, or
move to a freely selectable position ("Pos") if 2.
interference should occur, following the expiry of
the "time delay".
Use selection keys ef on the left or right touch pad
to select the desired servo connection 1 bis 16 (
)
then briefl y tap the center
SET key of the right touch
pad to freely switch between "hold" (
) and "Pos"
mode (

Following this, use the selection keys ef on the left
or right touch pad to select the "DELAY" option shown
at the bottom of the display …

… and then briefl y tap the center SET key of the right
touch pad. Now use the touch pad's selection keys to
make your choice from the four possible time delays
(0.25 s, 0.5 s, 0.75 s and 1 s) offered.
A simultaneous tap on the cd or ef selection keys
of the right touch pad (CLEAR) will reset the inverse
video fi eld to its default value 0.25 s.
Afterwards, select the STO fi eld at the bottom right
of the display with the ef selection keys on the left
or right touch pad. Now put the servos which have
been switched into position mode into their desired
positions SIMULTANEOUSLY with the respective
operating elements.
Briefl y tap the center
SET key of the right touch
pad to store these positions as the fail-safe setting
for the receiver, so that it can revert back to them if
interference is experienced.
Successful storage of the positions is confi rmed

Attention:
Please note that decisive fail-safe settings are •
stored in the receiver! Therefore, following a
change of receivers, these fail-safe settings
should be renewed and in the previous
receiver they should be erased, if necessary
per Reset, see page 46.
Ensure you make use of this safety net by •
at least programming the following for a fail-
safe incident: for glow-powered models, set
the motor throttle position to idle; for electric
models, set the motor function to stop, or
"Hold" for helicopter models. If interference
should occur, the model is then less likely
to fl y off on its own and cause damage to
property or even personal injury. Consider
asking an experienced pilot for advice.
