BINDING

10 SPEKTRUM DX18t • TRANSMITTER INSTRUCTION MANUAL
EN
You establish failsafe positions when you bind your transmitter
and receiver. If the radio signal connection is lost between the
transmitter and receiver, the receiver immediately moves the
aircraft control surfaces to the failsafe positions. If you assign
thereceiverTHROchanneltoatransmitterchannelotherthan
throttle, we recommend using Preset failsafe with the throttle
in the low position.
NOTICE: Failsafe features vary according to receiver. Always
read the receiver instruction manual for failsafe features.
Beforeight,ALWAYSconrmthefailsafefunctionsasyou
wouldexpect.
SmartSafe™ Failsafe
SmartSafe failsafe is a technology that only acts on the
throttle channel and offers the following benefits:
• Prevents electric motors from operating when the receiver
power is on and the transmitter power is off.
• Prevents the speed controller from arming until the throttle
is moved to the low throttle position.
• Powers off an electric motor and reduces gas/glow
engines to idle if signal is lost.
To Program SmartSafe, move the throttle to the low or
off position before putting the transmitter into bind mode.
To Test the SmartSafe failsafe
1. Powerthetransmitterandreceiveron.
2. Poweroffthetransmitter.Thethrottleshouldimmediately
move to the failsafe position.
CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is fully restrained
on the ground. If the failsafe is not set correctly, your aircraft
might advance to mid or full throttle.
Hold Last Command
The Hold Last Command failsafe maintains the last command
onallchannelsexceptthrottle.Iftheradiosignalislost,the
aircraft maintains the commanded heading until the receiver
regains signal. To program Hold Last Command, follow the
provided binding instructions in this instruction manual.
To Test Hold Last Command
1. Poweronthetransmitterandreceiver.
2. MoveoneofthecontrolstickstothedesiredHoldLast
Command position and hold the input.
3. Whileholdingthecontrolinput(forexample,asmall
amountofrudder)poweroffthetransmitter.Therudder
should maintain the input command.
CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is fully restrained
on the ground. If the failsafe is not set correctly, the aircraft
throttle might advance to mid or full throttle.
Preset Failsafe
The Preset failsafe moves all channels to their programmed
failsafepositions.WerecommendusingPresetfailsafetodeploy
spoilers on sailplanes to prevent a flyaway if the radio signal is lost.
To program Preset failsafe:
1. Insertthebindpluginthebindportonthereceiverandpower
on the receiver.
2. RemovethebindplugwhentheorangeLEDonthemain
receiver and all attached remote receivers rapidly flash.
The orange receiver LEDs will continue flashing.
3. Movethetransmittercontrolsticksandswitchestothe

on and place the transmitter in Bind mode.
4. Failsafeprogrammingiscompletewhentheorange

CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is fully restrained
on the ground. If the failsafe is not set correctly, the aircraft
throttle might advance to mid or full throttle.
