SAFE
®
Select Switch Designation
Stick Inputs
Once SAFE Select is enabled, you can choose to fly in SAFE mode full-time, or
assign a switch. Any switch on any channel between 5 and 9 can be used on your
transmitter.
If the aircraft is bound with SAFE Select disabled, the aircraft will be in AS3X mode
exclusively.
CAUTION:
Keep all body parts well clear of the propeller and keep the
aircraft securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.
IMPORTANT:
To be able to assign a switch, first verify:
• The aircraft was bound with SAFE Select enabled.
• Your choice for the SAFE Select switch is assigned to a channel between
5 and 9 (Gear, Aux1-4), and travel is set at 100% in each direction.
• The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle direction are set to normal,
not reverse.
• The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle are set to 100% travel. If dual
rates are in use, the switches need to be in the 100% position.
See your transmitter manual for more information about assigning a switch to a channel.
TIP:
If a SAFE Select switch is desired for your 6-function aircraft, and you are
using a 6 channel transmitter, the SAFE Select switch channel will have to be
shared with either channel 5 or 6 of the transmitter.
Assigning a Switch
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Power on the aircraft.
3. Hold both transmitter sticks to the inside bottom corners, and toggle the desired
switch 5 times quickly (1 toggle = full up and down).
4. 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.
