SmartSafe ™ Failsafe
SmartSafe Failsafe is always active in both hold last command failsafe and in
preset failsafe. SmartSafe is a safety feature on the throttle channel only that offers
the following benefits:
• Prevents electric motors from operating when the receiver only is turned on (no
signal present)
• Prevents the speed controller from arming until the throttle is moved to low
throttle position after connection is made
• Shuts off electric motor and reduces gas/glow engines to idle if signal is lost
• Prevents the ESC from arming if the throttle is in any position other than low
• Sets the throttle to the position it was during the binding process if connection
is lost in flight
How To Program
SmartSafe is automatically set when hold last command failsafe or preset failsafe is
programmed or the system is bound. It’s important to have the throttle stick in the
low position to store low throttle during binding.
To Test
Confirm the failsafe setting is correct by turning off the transmitter. The throttle
should turn to the preset low throttle position.
CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is restrained on the ground. If failsafe is
not set, your aircraft might advance to mid or full throttle.
Range Testing
Before each flying session and especially with a new model, perform a range
check. All Spektrum aircraft transmitters incorporate a range testing system which,
when activated, reduces the output power, allowing a range check.
1. With the model restrained on the ground, stand 30 paces (approx. 90 feet/28
meters) away from the model.
2. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position and place
your transmitter into range check mode. This causes reduced power output from
the transmitter.
3. You should have total control of the model in range test mode at 30 paces (90
feet/28 meters).
4. If control issues exist, call the Horizon Product Support office.
