Fail-safe or Hold Mode Switch
If you use the FAIL-SAFE function, and set it up properly, should the receiver signal somehow be
interrupted or interference were to occurred, the servos will move to your pre-set FAIL-SAFE position
you previously stored in the receiver during the FAIL-SAFE set-up.
If FAIL-SAFE has not been activated, the signal is switched off after the HOLD period of 1 sec. This
means that the servos become “soft” and remain in their last commanded position under no load
(this may equate to full-throttle!), until a valid signal is picked up again.
In the interests of safety, we recommend that FAIL-SAFE should always be activated, and the FAIL-SAFE
settings should be selected so as to bring the model to a non-critical situation (e.g. motor idle / electric
motor OFF, control surfaces neutral, or full brake, etc.)
