Failsafe
The AR10400T, AR14400T and AR20400T PowerSafe receivers have three
failsafe features: Pre-Connect Failsafe, Preset Failsafe and SmartSafe™.
Pre-Connect Failsafe: Prevents a servo signal from being generated before
the receiver connects to a transmitter. It is not affected by failsafe bind settings.
If the receiver is powered ON with no connection, it will remain in standby
mode with no output pulses to the servos, until a bound transmitter connects.
Failsafe positions are set through forward programming. In the unlikely event
that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will drive all channels to their
pre-programmed failsafe positions. The blue battery LEDs remain illuminated in
failsafe modes, but the orange LEDs on the main and remote receivers will not
be illuminated when a transmitter is not connected.
Preset Failsafe: With preset failsafe, you can set the specific control surface
positions you want to use if the signal is lost. When the receiver detects the
signal from the transmitter, normal aircraft operation resumes.
Only available through Forward Programming
Testing Failsafe: Secure the aircraft on the ground and remove the propeller.
Test Failsafe settings by turning the transmitter RF output off and noting how
the receiver drives the control surfaces.
Receiver Power Only
• If the receiver is turned when no transmitter signal is present, the throttle
channel will not have a control signal to avoid operating or arming the
electronic speed control.
• All other channels have no output until the receiver has linked to the
transmitter.

When you select a different channel for Output, a new group of settings
appears. Capture Failsafe Postions ->
Hold the control sticks in the desired failsafe positions and select Apply.
Channel selections must be individually set in Forward Programming to
apply the preset positions or each channel will default to Hold Last. The
value captured will be reflected in the position shown for each channel.
• Initiate Receiver Bind Mode
Gives you the option of putting the receiver into Bind Mode from this menu.
