l) "F.SAFE" function: switching failsafe on/off
As a special feature, the receiver has a failsafe function for all 6 channels. You can programme a specific servo posi
-
tion for each channel to be called up if the transmitter signal fails (for example, the throttle/brake servo runs at 100%
brake in a car with an internal combustion engine). The programming takes place directly in the transmitter and is then
transmitted to the receiver.
If you do not programme a specific servo position, all channels will remain in the last position if the transmitter signal
fails.
For safety reasons, you should always programme a failsafe position for model vehicles, for the drive motor
at the least (controlled by throttle/brake servo or speed controller). For a vehicle with an internal combus-
tion engine and electric vehicles, it is advisable to enable the brake and neutral position, respectively.
Proceed as follows:
• If you press the knob (14) briefly, the
MODEL
function will be greyed out.
•
Turn the knob (14) to the left or right until the
F.SAFE
function is greyed out,
as shown in the right figure.
• If you press the knob (14) briefly, the channel number 1 will flash at the bottom
of the display.
•
You can select the channel number (1 – 6) and change the failsafe setting by
turning the knob (14) to the left or right.
"ST" (= "steering") also flashes for channel 1.
"TH" (= "throttle") also flashes for channel 2.
"AUX" (= "auxiliary" = auxiliary channels) also flashes for channels 3 – 6.
• If you press the knob (14) briefly, either "OFF" or the current value for the position of the respective transmitter
control will flash at the bottom right of the display.
•
You can switch between "OFF" and a percentage value by turning the knob (14).
If you set "OFF", all channels will remain in the last position if the transmitter signal fails.
When a percentage value flashes, you can change it with the respective control of the previously selected channel
of the transmitter. If you have selected, for example, channel 2 ("TH"), move the throttle/brake lever away from the
handle (brake function). This will change the percentage value and the bar graph indication at the bottom of the
display.
• If you press the knob (14) briefly, the indication will stop flashing. The current failsafe setting will be saved.
If desired, you can now select another function to be changed by turning the knob (14).
To exit the setup menu instead, briefly press the "BACK" button (13). The transmitter will emit a short beep,
and the greyed out field will disappear from functions at the top of the display. The transmitter is back in its
normal mode.
