Failsafe
SmartSafe is a safety feature on the throttle channel only that offers the following
benets:
•Preventselectricmotorsfromoperatingwhenthereceiveronlyisturnedon
(no transmitter signal present)
•Preventsthespeedcontrollerfromarminguntilthethrottleismovedtolow

•Powersoffelectricmotorsandreducesgas/glowenginestoidleifsignalis

(Must bind the receiver at throttle off or idle position).
•Ifthrottleisatanypositionotherthanlow,theESCwon’tarm
•Ifconnectionislostinight:
SmartSafe sets the throttle to the position it was in during the binding process
(normally low throttle or idle).
How To Program
SmartSafe is automatically set when the system is bound. It’s important to have
the throttle stick in the low position to store low throttle during binding.
To Test
Electric helicopters: Remove the pinion gear from the motor before testing.
Gas or glow helicopters: Test the servo positions with the engine off.

should go to the preset low throttle position. All other channels should hold the
last commanded position.
Range Testing
Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, perform a range
check. All Spektrum aircraft transmitters incorporate a range testing system
which, when activated, reduces the output power, allowing a range check.
1. With the model on the ground and the motor/engine off, stand 30 paces
(approx. 90 feet/28 meters) away from the model.
2.Facethemodelwiththetransmitterinyournormalyingpositionandplace
your transmitter into range check mode. This causes reduced power output
from the transmitter.
