FAIL SAFE (F/S) FUNCTION SETTING
ACE RC COUGAR 2.4GHz R/C system features a built-in Failsafe function to
automatically set a servo command if the receiver loses the signal from transmitter due
to interference. For safety, we strongly recommend to active the FAILSAFE function on
your Cougar R/C system.
After binding the transmitter and receiver, you can continually set up the F/S function. Turn on the transmitter
power and then receiver power.
Press and hold the “Binding SW” button on the receiver for 2~4 seconds. The LED will start flashing GREEN
on the receiver.
Move and hold the throttle trigger to the position you want the control to be in if a failsafe condition should
occur. First, keep steering wheel at neutral position (steering servo at neutral position). To set up F/S function
with the throttle servo position at "Brake", first push the trigger to the brake position and hold. To set up F/S
function with servo position at "Neutral", keep the trigger at neutral position.
After the Step C, release the “Binding SW” button on the receiver first and then the throttle trigger. The LED
turns to solid “RED” and then back to solid “GREEN” indicating the F/S function has now been activated.
Test by turning off your transmitter and watching the servo failsafe position activate.
F/S at "Neutral": To check the fail safe is working properly, by moving the throttle trigger to the full forward
(full brake), hold this position and then turn off the transmitter. The F/S function should move the throttle servo
to “Neutral” position and the steering servo to “Neutral” position.
F/S at "Brake": To check the fail safe is working properly, by keeping the throttle trigger at neutral and then
turn off the transmitter. The F/S function should move the throttle servo to “Brake” position and the steering
servo to “Neutral” position.
If the F/S function fails or need to change the F/S hold position, repeat the steps a) ~e). After the F/S is
completed, you can start normal operation.

Trim adjustments will affect the overall servo travel; check the brake side (backward) movement when
changes are made.
HELPFUL HINT
If you have used most of the trim movement to get the servo to the neutral position, re-center the servo
horn closer to the neutral position and inspect your throttle linkage.
