Page 8: Installation
Before using LiPo batteries, please check the voltage specifications of your servos. Use of a voltage regulator, such as the Spektrum VR6007 (SP- MVR6007), might be necessary. - Page 9 Using the given guidelines select the battery system that best fits your application and install the battery(s)/regulator(s) in your aircraft. Connect the battery(s) to the PowerSafe receiver. Spektrum batteries are pre-wired with an EC3™ connector and plug directly in. If using another brand of battery it will be necessary to solder EC3 connectors (two are included with these PowerSafe receivers) to the battery leads.
- Page 10 In large aircraft where space is not an issue, it is highly recommended that the antennas be mounted throughout the aircraft as illustrated. Spektrum remote receiver extensions range from 6” to 36” allowing the receivers to be mounted in the most optimum locations throughout the aircraft.

- Page 12 Binding NOTICE: In order for the system to operate, one remote receiver must be connected. If an additional remote receiver is added after initial binding, the system must be re-bound to recognize the additional remote receiver. How To Bind the PowerSafe Receiver The AR9140T, AR12310T and AR20310T PowerSafe receivers must be bound to the transmitter before they will operate.
- Page 13 Failsafe The AR9140T, AR12310T and AR20310T PowerSafe receivers features two types of failsafe: SmartSafe™ and Preset Failsafe. Failsafe position is set during binding. In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will drive all channels to its pre-programmed failsafe position.

Page 14: Range Testing
Preset Failsafe Preset failsafe is ideal for sailplanes, allowing the aircraft to automatically dethermalize if the signal is lost. With preset failsafe, all channels go to their preset failsafe positions if the signal is lost, preventing a flyaway. When the receiver detects a signal from the transmitter, normal aircraft operation resumes. - Page 15 All Spektrum aircraft transmitters incorporate a range testing system, which reduces the output power to allow a range check. With the model resting on the ground, stand 30 paces (approx. 90 feet/28 meters) away from the model.

- Page 19 ModelMatch™ Technology Some Spektrum and JR transmitters offer a patent pending feature called ModelMatch. ModelMatch technology prevents the possibility of operating a model using the wrong model memory, potentially preventing a crash. With ModelMatch, each model memory has its own unique code (GUID) and during the binding process the code is programmed into the receiver.
