Page 8: Installation
Before using Li-Po batteries, please check the voltage specifications of your servos. Use of a voltage regulator, such as the Spektrum VR6007 (SPMVR6007), 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 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
Range Testing Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, it’s important to perform a range check. All Spektrum aircraft transmitters incorporate a range testing system, which reduces the output power to allow a range check. 1. With the model resting on the ground, stand 30 paces (approx. 90 feet/28 meters) away from the model. - Page 15 all remote receivers are operating optimally and that the installation (position of the receivers) is optimized for the specific aircraft. This Advanced Range Check allows the RF performance of each remote receiver to be evaluated and to optimize the locations of each individual remote receiver. 1.

Page 17: Receiver Power System Requirements
Digital Servo & receiver Current Meter (HAN172) or the ® Spektrum Flight Log (SPM9540) is the perfect tool to perform the test below. Plug the voltmeter into an open channel port in the receiver and with the system on, or simply monitor the voltage on a telemetry capable transmitter, load the control surfaces (apply pressure with your hand) while monitoring the voltage at the receiver. - Page 18 Dual Battery Capacity Monitoring The PowerSafe receivers feature dual battery capacity monitoring through telemetry when used with Spektrum AirWare G2 transmitters. The capacity is automatic and is simply activated in the transmitter using the Auto Config function. The capacity used is stored flight to flight and adds until reset. The capacity can be reset when the battery is charged, allowing easy battery capacity monitoring.
- Page 19 ModelMatch™ Technology Some Spektrum and JR transmitters offer a 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.
