Using the guidelines mentioned earlier, select the battery system that best fits
your application and install the battery(s)/regulator(s) in your aircraft. Connect
the battery to the PowerSafe Evolution. Spektrum PowerSafe batteries are pre-
wired with an EC3 connector and require an EC3 to MPX adapter to plug into the
PowerSafe Evolution. It is absolutely essential to maintain the correct polarity,
connecting a battery with reversed polarity will instantly damage the PowerSafe
Evolution’s internal regulators and will prevent the PowerSafe Evolution from
working. The + (positive) mark can be seen on the PowerSafe Evolution case.
The default battery type setting is for Lithium Polymer, LiPo, 2 cell packs. If
you wish to use 2 cell (7.4V) LiPo packs, you need to make no changes to the
battery type setting. For all other battery types, the battery type must be set using
the following procedure.
1. Turn the PowerSafe Evolution on with both batteries if so equipped.
2. Hold the SET button and watch the central LED on the SensorSwitch.
3. The LED will light up, then go out again after a short time.
4. After a few seconds, the LED will emit a short red flash. If using 2 cell
LiPo batteries, and you release the button now, the LiPo battery type will
be selected.
5. If using 5 cell NiMH or NiCd batteries, continue to hold the button until
the LED flashes twice. After the LED flashes twice, release the button to
select NiMH or NiCd battery type.

3. To turn the PowerSafe Evolution receiver on with the SensorSwitch, press and hold
the SET button on the SensorSwitch until the central LED glows red. Now press
buttons 1 and 2 one at a time to turn each on. If you have only 1 battery installed,
you only need to press the button for that battery.
4. To turn the PowerSafe Evolution off with the SensorSwitch, repeat the procedure
for turning the receiver on, by pressing and holding the SET button until the central
LED glows red, then press button 1 and/or button 2.
Note: Once the PowerSafe Evolution has been turned on, it can only be turned off
again by using the SensorSwitch. Intermittent contacts or interruptions in the battery
power cannot cause the PowerSafe Evolution to be switched off permanently.
