3. Move the throttle stick to the desired failsafe position, normally low throttle.
4. Follow the procedures of your specific transmitter to enter Bind Mode, the system will connect
within a few seconds. Once connected, the LED on the receiver will go solid indicating the system
is connected.
5. IMPORTANT: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind mode the next time
the power is turned on.
6. CAUTION: After you’ve set up your model, it’s important to rebind the system so the true low
throttle is set.
AR600 Failsafe
•Preventsunintentionalelectricmotorresponseonstart-up.
•Establisheslow-throttlefailsafeiftheRFsignalislost.
•The AR600 removes servo output pulses to all channels except the throttle channel during failsafe.

HOW AR600 FAILSAFE WORKS
Receiver Power Only

•Allotherchannelswillhavenooutputsignal.
Note: Some analog servos may coast slightly even though no signal is present. This is normal.

Range Testing
Before each flying session and especially with a new model, it is important to perform a range check.
All Spektrum aircraft transmitters incorporate a range testing system which, when activated, reduces
the output power, allowing a range check.

(Battery can be plugged into any open port
except the Bind port.)
