Failsafe ensures that the servos and/or ESC are set to a predetermined position within 0.5s after a loss of reception. Without failsafe servos
will respond erratically resulting in a loss of aircraft control in case reception is lost.

1. Turn on transmitter with the antenna extended
2. Power up the receiver. The receiver LED will flash 2 times quickly
3. Press the scan button on the receiver for 2 seconds
4. The LED will flash 3 times meaning the receiver is ready for the set up process (should it blink 2 times, then press the button again for 2
seconds)
Keep a careful eye on the LED. The receiver will cycle through 3 modes successively. It may be helpful to do the setup in a dark environment
so you can better see the LED flashing.

1. Turn on the transmitter with the antenna extended.
2. Turn on the receiver. The LED will blink 2 times. If the LED remains lit then the receiver is receiving correct commands from a transmitter.
If the LED goes out then the receiver is not receiving any correct commands, in which case you should set it up again...
3. To set it up, press the scan button for 2 seconds, then release it. The LED blinks 3 times now (should it blink 2 times, then press the

, press the button shortly. If the LED begins to blink quickly it means that the receiver is
searching for a valid signal. Wait for 2-3 seconds for the search to complete.
Once the receiver is locked to the transmitter, the LED will flash 2 times and then remain lit. If the LED goes out again, check the
transmitter.
4. After the receiver has locked, if you don’t change frequency, the receiver will work whenever you connect it to the power. No need to
relock.

1. Turn on the transmitter with the antenna extended.
2. Turn on the receiver. The LED will blink 2 times. If the LED remains lit then the receiver is receiving correct commands from a transmitter.
3. Adjust the sticks and switches on the transmitter to the position that you feel will best protect your aircraft in the event of a loss of signal.
Typically the throttle is decreased and a slight elevator input is required to maintain a controlled glide slope. You should notice as you
set the sticks and switches that the receiver is responding indicating the transmitter and receiver are synchronized.
4. To set it up, press the scan button for 2 seconds, then release it. The LED blinks 3 times now (should it blink 2 times, then press the
button again for 2 seconds). While in mode III, press the button shortly to start the failsafe enabling process.
5. The LED will flash 2 times and then remain lit. The transmitter now does not control the receiver and the failsafe has been enabled. You
must now restart the receiver.
During this setting step do not turn off the transmitter. Otherwise the receiver will not record the position of sticks and switches and it will
not retain a failsafe setting. Should this occur you will notice the LED flashing twice and then going dark indicating that you will have to start
the process over.
