12 SPEKTRUM DX6 • TRANSMITTER INSTRUCTION MANUAL



You establish failsafe positions when you bind your transmitter and

receiver. If the radio signal connection is lost between the transmitter

and receiver, the receiver immediately moves the aircraft control

surfacestothefailsafepositions.IfyouassignthereceiverTHRO

channel to a transmitter channel other than throttle, we recommend

using Preset failsafe with the throttle in the low position.

NOTICE: Failsafe features vary according to receiver. Always consult

the receiver instruction manual for failsafe features.

Before ﬂight, ALWAYS conﬁrm the failsafe functions as you would

expect.

SmartSafe™ Failsafe

SmartSafe failsafe is a technology that only acts on the throttle

channel and offers the following beneﬁts:

• Prevents electric motors from operating when the receiver power

is on and the transmitter power is off.

• Prevents the speed controller from arming until the throttle is

moved to the low throttle position.

• Powers off an electric motor and reduces gas/glow engines to

idle if signal is lost.

To Program SmartSafe, move the throttle to the low or off position

before putting the transmitter into bind mode.

To Test the SmartSafe failsafe

1. Power the transmitter and receiver on.

2. Power off the transmitter. The throttle should immediately

move to the failsafe position.

CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is fully restrained on the

ground. If the failsafe is not set correctly, your aircraft might

advance to mid or full throttle.

Hold Last Command

The Hold Last Command failsafe maintains the last command on

allchannelsexceptthrottle.Iftheradiosignalislost,theaircraft

maintains the commanded control inputs until the receiver regains

signal.

To program Hold Last Command, follow the provided binding

instructions in this instruction manual.

To Test Hold Last Command:

1. Power on the transmitter and receiver.

2. Move one of the control sticks to the desired Hold Last

Command position and hold the input.

3.Whileholdingthecontrolinput(forexample,asmallamountof

rudder) power off the transmitter. The rudder should maintain

the input command.

CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is fully restrained on the

ground. If the failsafe is not set correctly, the aircraft throttle

might advance to mid or full throttle.

Preset Failsafe

The Preset failsafe moves all channels to their programmed failsafe

positions.

We recommend using Preset failsafe to deploy spoilers on sailplanes

to prevent a ﬂyaway if the radio signal is lost.

To program Preset failsafe:

1. Insert the bind plug in the bind port on the receiver and power

on the receiver.

2. Remove the bind plug when the orange LED on the main

receiver and all attached remote receivers ﬂash rapidly. The

orange receiver LEDs will continue ﬂashing.

3. Move the transmitter control sticks and switches to the

desired Preset failsafe position. Power the transmitter on.

4. Failsafe programming is complete when the orange LEDs on

the transmitter and all receivers turn solid.

CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is fully restrained on the

ground. If the failsafe is not set correctly, the aircraft throttle

might advance to mid or full throttle.
