PreFlight Test - You see two different tests - "Range Test" and "Failsafe Test" and underneath some live data if a receiver is connected.

  • The “Range Test” gives you the opportunity to check and maybe improve the perfect antenna position inside your model.

  • The “Fail Safe Test” let you check all “Failsafe” positions for all functions together.

  • RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) is displayed in dBm (Decibelmilliwatts). The value is always minus and the closer to zero the better it is.

  • LQI (Link Quality Indication) is displayed in percentage. Maximum is normally 100%

Range Test - When activated the transmission power is drastically reduced. We strongly recommend to do a range test before you want to fly or the antenna configuration changed in any way. The test itself is really easy:

  • First of all adjust a proper “Failsafe” position. Each function can get its own “Failsafe” position.

  • Now you can activate the “Range Test” and walk away from your model. After approximately 50m (160ft) the failsafe position can occur. If it is less, first of all try to rearrange your antennas inside the model. Carbon fiber reinforced hulls, hulls with metal-finish or metal-sheeting are strongly shielding, and therefore the antenna (the last 60 mm) has to be necessarily moved to the outside. There the antenna also should not be fixed directly on the shielding material. A certain distance has to be maintained. For optimal reception with dual receivers the last 29 mm of the antennas must be fixed at a 90 ° angle to each other. Please consider the specific receiver manual for more detailed information about antenna arrangement. Use the RSSI and the LQI value to improve your antenna position.

Failsafe Test - The so called “Failsafe” is a common safety feature. It defines exactly what should happen when the connection to the model is lost. The BAT 60 offers a function failsafe. Each function can separately be adjustable for “failsafe”. Please go to “Function Setup” to adjust. The menu “Fail Safe Test” allows you to test the failsafe for the entire model.

It is strongly recommended to adjust a proper servo failsafe position after you set up your model and before you do your maiden flight. The default value for all functions is the so called "Hold" position. Means the last transmitted function position will be kept.

There can be serious injuries even death. Cutting Fingers and arms is really easy with strong electric motors. So make sure that especially functions for electric engines with propellers or rotor blades or similar are set to a “OFF” value!
