Fail Safe - Sanwa M11X Operating Manual

fail safe

The Fail Safe function automatically sets 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 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.
[ FAIL SAFE ] FAIL SAFE SETTING
Fail Safe can be set on each of the four channels individually.
The Fail Safe settings will be retained even if the transmitter looses power or if the transmitter and receiver must be paired
again.
