Failsafe Function
Your Optic system contains special programming to allow you
to
fly a model using Hitec's special QPCM software. In this
menu,
which only appears when QPCM is selected in the
power-on
menus, you can choose where your servos are
commanded
to move if the receiver loses the signal from the
transmitter
due to interference.
1. To access this screen, turn on the transmitter.
2.
Turn on the receiver power.
3. Press both Edit keys at the same time enter the menu loop.
4.
Use the Edit keys to scroll down or up through the menu
until
you come to the Failsafe screen.

QPCM Operation
Note: The OPTIC 6 QPCM is NOT compatible with Hitec's older
HPD-07RB PCM receivers and must be used with Hitec's
HPD-07RH QPCM receiver.
Activating the Hitec QPCM Failsafe
The failsafe feature of Hitec's QPCM receiver, model number
HPD-07RH
is a safety feature designed to allow the user to
program
a "set" position for a flight control surface to be at,
in the event of a loss of signal from the transmitter.
Note: Failsafe does not have to be activated to use the QPCM signal.
You do have the choice of using or not using the failsafe function.
5. The default position has the failsafe feature inhibited.
6.
Arm the failsafe feature by pressing the "Clear" key, the
screen
should now read, FAIL On.
7. To set the desired servo position when failsafe lockout
occurs,
move the control sticks to the position you want the
control
surfaces to be in if a failsafe condition should occur,
hold
the sticks in this position and press both Data keys at
the
same time. You should hear a double "beep"
8. Cycle the transmitter on, then off, then back on.
9. Test the effect by turning off your transmitter and watching
the
servo failsafe position activate.
10. To change the failsafe hold positions, repeat step
7, 8 and 9

Chart
The following chart may be used to systematically set up and trim a model for straight flight and aerobatic maneuvers.
Please
note that for best results, trimming should be done in near-calm conditions. Before you decide to make a change,
be
sure to try the test several times before making adjustments. If any changes are made, go back through the
previous steps and verify that they are not also affected. If they are, make further adjustments as necessary.
