Optima and Minima Series Receiver Link (ID-Setting or Bind) cont.
When the binding process is completed, it
automatically goes to the finish screen. (The
BLUE and RED LEDs will be solidly on)
When the LED stops blinking, press the jog
dial to get to the next screen. The blue LED
will glow solid.
Turn the power to the receiver off, then back on. Check for a solid blue LED light. Once on, press the jog dial
to FINISH the binding process. Make sure all functions are working properly before flying your model.
If any function is not working as described, please go back to step 6 and repeat the
binding again.
If all functions work well, press the Finish icon on the screen to finish binding.
FAIL-SAFE and Hold Mode Setup
If the FAIL-SAFE function is set up and used properly but the receiver signal is somehow interrupted,
the servos will move to your previously stored FAIL-SAFE setup. If you do not activate the FAIL-SAFE
function, the signal is switched off after the HOLD period of 1 sec. This means that the servos become
“soft” and remain in their last commanded position under no load (this may equate to full-throttle!) until
a valid signal is picked up again. In the interest of safety, we recommend that FAIL-SAFE should always
be activated, and the FAIL-SAFE settings should be selected so as to bring the model to a non-critical
situation (e.g. motor idle / electric motor OFF, control surfaces neutral, airbrakes extended, aero-tow
release open, etc.).
Testing the FAIL-SAFE Setting
Move the sticks to positions other than the FAIL-SAFE settings, and then switch off the transmitter. The
servos should now move to the FAIL-SAFE positions previously stored after the one second HOLD period.
How to turn FAIL-SAFE Off and reactivate the Hold Mode
a. Switch on the transmitter, then the receiver. Wait for the system to boot and you have control over the
model.
b. Press and hold the receiver function button for 6 seconds and release it. After 2 seconds, the red and
blue LEDs will blink rapidly.
c. Immediately press the receiver function button once.
d. FAIL-SAFE Mode is now deactivated and HOLD mode is activated.
e. Turn the transmitter off, then the receiver off.
f. Turn the system back on to use it.
Fail-Safe position
Switch on both.
Wait for the system to boot and you have
control over the model.
(approx. 6 second)
Release the button. After 2 seconds both red and blue LEDs blink alternately.
The receiver will count 5 seconds. During that time, move all the transmitter
sticks and other controls to the desired FAIL-SAFE positions (e.g. motor idle,
control surfaces neutral), and hold until the blinking stops.
When the blinking stops, the system will temporarily
the system to save and exit.
