8.4 HOLD and FAIL-SAFE
If the receiver detects invalid data (interference), the last valid
data is sent to the servos in order to bridge the period of signal
loss (HOLD mode).
The effect of the FAIL-SAFE setting is that the servos run to a
previously selected setting if interference should occur, once the
HOLD period (0.75 seconds) has elapsed.
In its default state and after a RESET the FAIL-SAFE function is
switched OFF, and is only activated when you select the FAIL-
SAFE settings for the first time. FAIL-SAFE is set using the SET
button on the receiver.
! Note: if you are using a COCKPIT SX M-LINK or ROYALevo /
pro / M-LINK transmitter, you can also set FAIL-SAFE directly
from the transmitter.
If you wish to disable FAIL-SAFE again, the receiver must be
reset to the default state (RESET Î 8.5). After a RESET you
must repeat the binding procedure (Î 8.2.1)!
! Note: always activate FAIL-SAFE!
For safety reasons we recommend that you always activate
FAIL-SAFE, and ensure that the selected FAIL-SAFE settings
will cause the model to take up as safe an attitude as possible
(e.g. motor idle / electric motor OFF, control surfaces neutral,
landing flaps deployed, tow-release open, …).
Selecting the FAIL-SAFE settings:
Use your transmitter to move all the servos (and the speed
controller) to the desired position. Hold the SET button pressed
in briefly (0.5 to 1 second). This stores the servo positions, and
the LED flashes to confirm this (LED code 5 Î 8.1).
After sixteen seconds in FAIL-SAFE the receiver no longer
sends signals to the servos. Analogue servos and some digital
servos (see instructions) then become “soft”, to avoid them
being stalled. Modern speed controllers switch themselves off.
However, some digital servos remain “hard” and maintain their
last position.
FAIL-SAFE mode is automatically terminated as soon as the
receiver picks up valid signals again.

Testing the FAIL-SAFE positions:
Move the sticks to positions other than the FAIL-SAFE settings,
and then switch the transmitter OFF: the servos should go into
HOLD mode briefly (0.75 seconds), and then move to the FAIL-
SAFE positions which you previously selected.
The FAIL-SAFE positions must always be checked and updated
when necessary, e.g. when you install the receiver in a new
model.
! Checking the FAIL-SAFE function:
Never operate the receiver with the transmitter switched off for
longer than it takes to check the FAIL-SAFE function. Caution:
the motor could burst into life - injury hazard!

8.5 RESET to default settings
The receiver settings can be reset to the factory default values if
you wish. If you do this, please note that all your settings (e.g.
bound transmitter, FAIL-SAFE settings) will be lost.
Hold the SET button pressed in for at least ten seconds (as a
guide, the LED goes out when you press the button, comes on
again after two seconds, then off again after ten seconds).
When the RESET is complete, the receiver LED will flash to
confirm the action (LED code 5 Î 8.1).

Regular range checks are very important - even when using a
2.4 GHz system - in order to ensure reliable operation of the
radio control system, and to enable you to detect sources of
interference in good time. This applies in particular:
• Before the use of new or changed components, or existing

• Before the use of new or changed components, or existing
components in a new or modified arrangement.
• Before re-using radio control system components which were
previously involved in a crash or a hard landing.
• If you have encountered problems on a previous flight.

forty metres with the transmitter set to low power. You have
reached the range limit when the servos start to move jerkily.
There must be line-of-sight contact between the transmitter
