I-20
Programming SmartSafe
(All JR DSM and Spektrum Aircraft Receivers)
During the binding process, the bind plug is left in throughout
the process and is removed only after the receiver connects
to the transmitter. After the connection is made, confirmed
by operating the servos, the bind plug can be removed. The
receiver is now programmed for SmartSafe.
Programming Preset Failsafe for JR/Spektrum
(JR R1221, JR R1222, JR R921, JR R922, Spektrum AR9000,
and Spektrum AR9100 Receivers Only)
During the binding process, the bind plug is inserted in the
bind port or in the charge jack, and then the receiver is powered
up. The LED’s in each receiver should blink, indicating that the
receiver is in bind mode. Now before binding the receiver to the
transmitter and with the receiver in bind mode, remove the bind
plug. The LED’s will still be blinking. With the control sticks and
switches in the desired fail-safe positions, bind the transmitter
to the receiver by pressing and holding the bind buttons on the
back of the transmitter/module and turning on the transmitter.
The system should connect in less than 15 seconds. The
receiver is now programmed for preset fail-safe.
Note
: Fail-safe positions are stored via the stick and
switch positions on the transmitter during binding.
After Connection
When the transmitter is turned on and after the receiver
connects to the transmitter, normal control of all channels
occurs. After the system makes a connection, if loss of signal
occurs, preset fail-safe drives all servos to their preset fail-safe
positions. For sailplanes it’s recommended that the spoilers/
flaps deploy to de-thermalize the aircraft, preventing a flyaway.
Some modelers using powered planes prefer to use this failsafe
system to program a slight turn and low throttle to prevent
their aircraft from flying away. When the signal is regained, the
system immediately (less than 4 ms) regains control.
