1. FAIL SAFE PROGRAMMING CC CA The Fail Safe function automatically moves the servos to a predetermined position in the event that the signal between the transmitter and the receiver is interrupted whether due to signal degradation or to low transmitter battery Several different setting options are available The Fail Safe function can be set to Hold the servos in the last position they were in when the signal was lost or each of the servos can be set to move to a custom position when the signal is lost For example the throttle servo moves to the Brake Side to engage the brakes and stop your model If you re driving a gas or glow powered boat the Fail Safe function could be set to lower the throttle to idle and turn the rudder slightly left or right so that the boat will continue in slow circles In addition a Receiver Battery Voltage Fail Safe function is available which allows you to set a custom voltage that the Receiver Battery Fail Safe function will Activate at This is useful if you re using servos with a higher than normal current draw that might run out of power before the receiver does IMPORTANT The Fail Safe function will NOT OPERATE if the receiver loses power It will operate only if the transmitter and receiver signal is interrupted or if the transmitter loses power Setting the Fail Safe Fail Safe settings can be programmed for each of the four channels individually In addition Fail Safe settings are Model specific2.
