Fail Safe; Battery Fail Safe Setting Procedure; Battery Fail Safe Release Function - FUTABA T18MZ WC Instruction Manual

The Failsafe function is used to set up positions
that the servos will move to in the case of radio
interference. De nes servo position when signals are
lost and when receiver battery voltage becomes low.
You may set either of two positions for each channel:
Hold, where the servo maintains its last commanded
position, or fail safe, where each servo moves to a
predetermined position. You may choose either mode
for each channel.
The T18MZ-WC system also provides you with an
advanced battery monitoring function that warns
you when the receiver battery has only a little power
remaining. In this case, each servo is moved to the
defined failsafe position. The battery failsafe may
be released by operating a prede ned control on the
transmitter (default is throttle). Do not continue
to fly, land as soon as possible. Remember, if the
