Select Switch Designation
This aircraft includes Spektrum Smart Technology in the ESC and receiver,
which can provide telemetry information such as battery voltage and
ESC temperature. To take advantage of Smart Technology, you will need
a compatible transmitter. A firmware update for your transmitter may be
required.
To access all the available features of Smart Technology, use Spektrum Smart
batteries to power this aircraft. In addition to ESC data, Spektrum Smart
batteries can communicate detailed battery data through the Smart Technology
system.
To View Smart Telemetry:
1. Begin with the transmitter bound to the receiver
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Power on the aircraft.
4. The Smart Logo appears under the battery logo on the home page. A signal
bar appears in the top left corner of the screen.*
5. Scroll past the servo monitor to view Smart technology screens.
* If the transmitter that you intend to use with this aircraft is not displaying
telemetry data, visit spektrumrc.com and update your firmware. With the latest
firmware installed on your transmitter the telemetry option should now be
functional on your transmitter.
For more information about compatible transmitters, firmware updates, and how to
use the Smart Technology on your transmitter, visit spektrumrc.com.
Smart Technology Telemetry
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.
TIP
: If model has a reversing ESC feature, Aux 2 is not available for safe select.
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.
