Fail Safe and Hold General Instructions
Fail Safe
• F/S or HOLD can be selected for each channel
(1 to 8).
•Channels selected for HOLD will remain in
HOLD until a normal signal resumes. Those
selected for F/S will move to their pre-set posi-
tions after 1 second of signal interruption.
• F/S SET simultaneously stores the desired Fail
Safe position in the transmitter memory and
sends it to the receiver.
•The F/S data is automatically sent to the
receiver when the transmitter is first turned ON
and at one minute intervals as long as the trans-
mitter is left on.
• The F/S position can be checked with the
program key.
• Only the Throttle channel (CH3) can be set for
Battery Fail Safe.
Fail Safe Setting
1) Display the EDIT screen, then select the
FAILSAFE screen by pressing the
gram key.
2) Move the cursor to the desired channel with
the and cursor
HOLD or F/S for each channel by pressing the
or program key. When Failsafe is
selected, the number 50 will appear below the
appropriate channel on the POSI-(%) line of
the FAILSAFE screen.
3) Store the Failsafe positions in the transmitter
memory by pressing the
ing the stick or lever of the channel being set
in the desired Failsafe position. Simultaneous-
ly, the data is also transmitted to the receiver
and is automatically re-transmitted at one
minute intervals.

Battery Fail Safe Setting
1) Set the Failsafe position on the throttle chan-
nel (CH3) as described above. A position
slightly above the minimum engine idle speed
is recommended.
2) BFS Release Point Setting (When THR is
designated as the release channel)
• Move the cursor to the B/FS-RESET line of
the FAILSAFE screen with the
cursor key.
• Select the BFS release channel with the
or program key.
•Set the throttle stick to the desired BFS
release point and press the
key. This designates CH3 (Throttle) as the
release channel and sets the stick release
point simultaneously.
3) To release BFS by the CH9 switch, press the
program key.
• BFS can be released by the CH9 switch only
when the switch is moved to the upper
position. If the CH9 switch is in the lower
position, BFS cannot be released.
• In the BFS release state, the characters 0%-
RESET are displayed on the B/FS-RESET
line of the FAILSAFE screen.
4) If Battery Fail Safe is not desired, press the
program key (when the cursor is on the
B/FS-RESET line). The BFS function will
then be disabled.
