Failsafe; Throttle Punch - Spectrum DX3S User Manual

7. With the steering wheel, throttle trigger and Aux
channel (if applicable) in the desired preset failsafe
positions, press the Rolling Selector to initiate the
bind process and to store the failsafe positions. BIND
will flash for a few seconds then stop, indicating the
process is complete. The LED on the receiver should
now be solid, indicating a successful bind has taken
place.
8. Remove the bind plug and store it in a convenient
place.
To return to the main screen press and hold the Rolling
Selector for more than three seconds.
Note: The only time it is necessary to do a
rebind is when different failsafe positions are
desired, e.g. when throttle or steering reversing
has been changed, or if the receiver is to be
bound to a different model memory.
Note: Some Spektrum receivers, like the
SR3000, use a bind button rather than a bind
plug. The binding process is the same with
this receiver, however, instead of inserting the
plug before powering up the receiver, press
and hold the bind button while powering up
the receiver to enter bind mode.

faIlsafe

Failsafe positions are also set during binding. In the
unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the
receiver will drive the servos to their preprogrammed
failsafe positions (normally full brakes and straight
steering). If the receiver is turned on prior to turning on
the transmitter, the receiver will enter the fail-safe mode,
driving the servos to their preset failsafe positions. When
the transmitter is turned on, normal control is resumed.
Failsafe servo positions are set during binding (see Bind
on the previous page).

The Throttle Punch function is used to offset the throttle

throttle travel is applied. Throttle punch is typically
used in nitro vehicles to reduce the lag due to throttle
linkage slack.
