Select Switch Designation
SAFE
®
Select technology can be assigned to any open switch (2 or 3 position)
controlling a channel (5–9) on your transmitter. Once assigned to a switch, SAFE select
ON gives you the flexibility to choose SAFE technology or AS3X mode while in flight. If
the aircraft is bound with SAFE select OFF, the aircraft will be in AS3X mode exclusively.
IMPORTANT:
Before assigning your desired switch, ensure that the travel for that
channel is set at 100% in both directions and the aileron, elevator, rudder and
throttle are all on high rate with the travel at 100%.
CAUTION:
Keep all body parts well clear of the rotor and keep the aircraft
securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.
TIP:
SAFE Select is assignable on any unused channels 5–9. See your
transmitter manual for more information about assigning a switch to a channel.
TIP:
Use your radio channel monitor to confirm that the four primary channels
are showing 100% travel while assigning the switch.
TIP:
Use the channel monitor to make sure the switch you are assigning for SAFE
Select is active and driving a channel between 5-9 and that it is traveling 100% in
each direction.
TIP:
Make sure your four primary channels are not reversed if you are having
trouble assigning a SAFE Select switch.
Assigning a switch
1. Bind the aircraft to choose
SAFE Select ON. This will
allow the system to be
assigned to a switch.
2. Hold both transmitter
sticks to the inside bottom
corners and toggle the
desired switch 5 times
(1 toggle = full up and down)
to assign that switch. The
control surfaces of the
aircraft will move, indicating
the switch has been selected.
Repeat the process to assign a different switch or to deactivate the current switch
if desired.

NOTICE:
If control throws are changed from the factory settings, the AR631
gain values may need to be adjusted. Refer to the Spektrum AR631 manual for
adjustment of gain values.
After flying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the desired control
response. See the table to the right.
