15. Fail-Safe Function
Your remote control receiver offers the option of taking the throttle servo or the electronic speed controller to a certain
position or to the stop function if no correct remote control signal is received any longer in case of an interference.
If the idle position (central position of the operating lever for driving) was selected as a fail safe position, the vehicle
comestoahaltautomaticallyiftheradiotransmissionisinterferedwithorthemodeldrivesoutoftheremotecontrol‘s
range.
You can also select any brake position (e.g. 50% brake effect) as the fail safe position (sensible e.g. for a combustion
vehicle).Inthiscase,xtheoperatingleverfordrivinginthedesiredpositionwitharubberringwhensettingthefail

In order perform the fail safe settings, proceed as follows:
• Taketheoperatingleverfordrivingtothedesiredposition.
• First,switchonthetransmitterandthenthereceiver.
• Rightafterthat,pushandholdthefail-safebuttonattherecei-

prox. 3 seconds.
• WhentheLEDashes,releasethebutton.
• WhentheLEDislitagainpermanently,thefailsafepositionis
stored.
• The saved fail-safe position remains saved even after
switching the receiver off and on again.
Then perform a function test; proceed as follows:
• Whenusingthethrottleservo,acceleratealittlewiththecombustionengineoutandthenswitchoffthetransmitter.
The throttle servo then has to go into the fail safe position immediately.

the test. Then take the vehicle into operation as usual. Move the operating lever for the driving function towards the
handle so that the motor starts up and the wheels turn.
If you switch off the transmitter now, the motor must stop if the middle position of the operating lever for the driving
functionwassavedasthefail-safepositionrst.
