SPEKTRUM FAILSAFE TYPES
Spektrum receivers use two types of failsafe modes, Smartsafe
™
with hold last command and
Preset. These are set on the receiver during the binding process.
• SmartSafe
™
failsafe mode keeps the receiver from powering the throttle channel in the
event an aircraft is powered on prior to the transmitter, thus reducing the likelihood of an
electric powered model accidentally powering on when no transmitter signal is present. After
connection, in the event of a hold, the throttle channel will be moved to the position set during
bind. This failsafe mode will hold other control inputs at the last known command until the
transmitter/receiver link is re-established. If the throttle control has been mapped to another
channel in the transmitter setup, use the Preset failsafe mode.
• Preset failsafe mode returns all control commands to the binding presets.
It is important to know how and when to use each of the failsafe modes. Consult the receiver
manual for information.
