SAFE™ Transmitter Setup

Your DSM2/DSMX transmitter will need to be conﬁ gured using the provide transmitter setup chart in order to experience all the features and beneﬁ ts of the receiver with SAFE™ in this aircraft.

Quick Overview

• SAFE Flight mode is selected using Channel 5 signal (high, middle, low).

• Panic mode is selected with Channel 6 signal (high, low). Refer to your transmitter’s manual for detailed information on how to navigate through your transmitter settings.

IMPORTANT: A transmitter with a 2-position channel 5 switch will only allow the use of position 0 or position 2 ﬂ ight modes.

Computerized Transmitter Setup (DX6i, DX6, DX7S, DX8, DX9, DX10t and DX18)

1. Go to the SETUP LIST MENU

2. Set MODEL TYPE: ACRO

3. Set REVERSE: Gear Channel

4. Go to ADJUST LIST MENU

5. Set TRAVEL ADJ: Gear/Fmode (0) 100%, Gear/Fmode (1) 40%

The Gear and Mix switches operate the 3 SAFE modes. Gear 0; Mix 0 = Beginner Mode Gear 1; Mix 0 = Intermediate Mode Gear 1; Mix 1 = Experienced Mode The Flap switch operates Panic Recovery: Position 0=Off Position 1=On. (not a momentary switch)

Flap/Gyro Switch operates the 3 SAFE modes. 0 = Beginner Mode 1 = Intermediate Mode 2 = Experienced Mode The Trainer/Bind button operates Panic Recovery

Switch D (DX10t: A) operates the 3 SAFE modes. 0 = Beginner Mode 1 = Intermediate Mode 2 = Experienced Mode The Bind/I button (DX10t: R-TIP) operates Panic Recovery

SAFE™ Technology Flight Modes

The installed receiver has been programmed for operation in only this aircraft, providing the following selectable ﬂ ight modes.

Beginner Mode:

Pitch (nose up and down) and Roll (wing tips up and down) angles are limited to help you keep the aircraft airborne. Release both sticks for self-leveling.

Intermediate Mode:

Same as beginner mode, but with a wider ﬂ ight envelope and without self-leveling.

Experienced Mode:

Unlimited ﬂ ight envelope with AS3X

stabilization.

Panic Recovery Mode

• If you feel you have lost control in any mode, hold the Panic Recovery button. The SAFE technology will return the aircraft to upright ﬂ ight.

• Always ﬂ y at a safe altitude, as Panic Recovery may cause the aircraft to lose altitude while returning to upright ﬂ ight.

• Release the Panic Recovery button to turn off Panic mode and return to the current SAFE ﬂ ight mode with full stick control again.

IMPORTANT: If the aircraft is upside down when the Panic Recovery button is pressed, sufﬁ cient altitude May be required for the aircraft to return to upright ﬂ ight.

Charger Warnings

The battery charger (EFLUC1007) included with your aircraft has been designed to safely charge the Li-Po battery.

CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must

be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in a ﬁ re, personal injury and/or property damage.

• By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po

battery, you assume all risks associated with lithium batteries.

• If at any time the battery begins to balloon or

swell, discontinue use immediately. If charging or discharging, discontinue and disconnect. Continuing to use, charge or discharge a battery that is ballooning or swelling can result in ﬁ re.

• Always store the battery at room temperature in a

dry area for best results.

• Always transport or temporarily store the battery

in a temperature range of 40–120º F (5–49° C). Do not store the battery or model in a car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or even catch ﬁ re.

• Always charge batteries away from ﬂ ammable

materials.

5. Red and Green LED ﬂ ashing rapidly ...Error

• Always inspect the battery before charging.

• Always disconnect the battery after charging, and let the charger cool between charges.

• Always constantly monitor the temperature of the battery pack while charging.

• ONLY USE A CHARGER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO CHARGE LI-PO BATTERIES. Failure to charge the battery with a compatible charger may cause a ﬁ re resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.

• Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V under load.

• Never cover warning labels with hook and loop strips.

• Never leave charging batteries unattended.

• Never charge batteries outside recommended levels.

• Never charge damaged batteries.

• Never attempt to dismantle or alter the charger.

• Never allow minors to charge battery packs.

CAUTION: Never exceed the recommended

charge rate.

CAUTION: Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the ﬂ ight battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.

Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged) 200mAh battery takes approximately 40 minutes at the charger’s 300mA charge rate.
