	ModelMatch is an exclusive Spektrum feature that prevents the radio system from operating if the incorrect model profile is selected from the model select screen. Each model location is given a secondary code on top of the GUID coding that mates that receiver to that specific memory location. If that code is not it not recognize the transmitter, remaining in failsafe mode.

	A failsafe is a safety feature designed into Spektrum receivers that drives the servo or ESC positions to a preset location in the event that signal is lost. Typically you should set the failsafe so that if there is a loss of signal, full brakes are applied. This will help prevent runaways and possible damage or harm to those around you.

			==What Is a receiver Failsafe mode?==

			A failsafe is a safety feature designed into Spektrum receivers that drives the servo or ESC positions to a preset location in the event that signal is lost. Typically you should set the failsafe so that if there is a loss of signal, full brakes are applied. This will help prevent runaways and possible damage or harm to those around you.
