ADJUSTMENTS AND FLIGHT TECHNIQUES
•FS (FAIL SAFE) AND HOLD FUNCTIONS
HOW TO USE FS (FAIL SAFE) (THROTTLE CHANNEL AS AN EXAMPLE.)
1 Set Function Select Switch 49 to FS SELECT.
2 Set transmitter and receiver power switches to
ON and check servo movements.
3 While switching the Channel Select Switch [48]
from 1 to 8 in order, set the channel(s) to be
used with FAIL SAFE by pressing Button 46
and those to be used with HOLD by pressing
Button 47 . (In this example, set CH3 to FS
with Button 46.)
4 Move the throttle lever to maximum slow posi-
tion, and press the FS Set Button 36 on the
transmitter back.
5 CH3 is now set to LOW throttle for the FS
function. After setting FS, turn the Channel
Select Switch 48 and Function Select Switch
49 to OFF.
6 Test FS by turning the transmitter power
switch to OFF. (In this example, all servos
should move to neutral except the throttle
servo which should move to the LOW position
that was just set.)
7 Fail Safe for all channels selected can be set
with one touch by moving the sticks and
switches of all the channels to the desired posi-
tions and pressing the FS Set Button 36 once.
(Switch 49 previously set to FS ALL.)
8 FS settings are retained in the transmitter
memory circuit and transmitted automatically
every 60 seconds (Monitor Lamp A goes out
momentarily during data transmission.) There-
fore, resetting before each flight is unnecessary
even though the receiver switch has been turned
OFF.
9 After FS settings have been made, always set
Function Select Switch [49] to OFF to prevent
erroneous settings.
10 To clear all FS settings, set Switch [48] to Posi-
tion 1, then press buttons [46| and [47] simul-
taneously.
FS/HOLD CAN BE CONFIRMED BY MONITOR LAMP.
• Function status can be confirmed by means of Monitor Lamp (A).
When Function Select Switch 49 is at FS SELECT: Lamp A ON = HOLD
Lamp (A) O F F = FS
•When Switch 49 is set to FS ALL, Lamp (A) is OFF.
•When Switch 49 is set to ATV and Button 46 or 47 is pressed. Lamp (A) blinks.
