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.

Smart Safe + Hold Last is the default setting. If Preset Failsafe is desired,

enter the forward programming menu in your forward programming capable

Spektrum™ transmitter or Spektrum PC programmer and USB cable and select

Preset Failsafe.

SmartSafe + Hold Last

If loss of signal occurs, SmartSafe™ technology moves the throttle channel to

its preset failsafe position (low throttle) that was set during binding. All other

channels hold their last position. When the receiver detects signal from the

transmitter, normal aircraft operation resumes.

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 ﬂ yaway. When the

receiver detects signal from the transmitter, normal aircraft operation resumes.

Testing Failsafe

Secure the aircraft on the ground and remove the propellers. Test Failsafe

by turning the transmitter off and noting how the receiver drives the control

surfaces.

Receiver Power Only

• With SmartSafe or Preset Failsafe, when the receiver only is turned on (no

transmitter signal is present), the throttle channel has no output, to avoid

operating or arming the electronic speed control.

• All other channels have no output until the receiver has linked to the

transmitter.

Telemetry

The AR6610T features full range telemetry and will provide receiver battery

voltage, ﬂ ight log data, and vario and altitude data without any additional

sensors. Additionally, Spektrum Smart devices can be connected through the

SRXL2 connections to provide additional telemetry data. Additional telemetry

devices such as voltage sensors can be connected to the volt port, and XBus

telemetry sensors can be connected through the XBus connector.
