Its a good point. I recently set the failsafe on all my Frsky/Taranis receivers and found in every case the instruction was the same, namely with the Tx on and rx powered, place the Tx controls in the failsafe position (throttle off) and press the tiny button on the rx.
I like the Taranis/Frsky gear, except for the fragile tiny button on the rx. I have broken one button on a rx, and I found during the above exercise the failsafe would not work on another rx. I have posted on the Taranis website about how fiddly the bind procedure is, requiring depression of the tiny button while simultaneously operating the power switch. I think a system that uses sequential procedures (such as insert a bind plug, then add power) is easier - at least it is for me! Fortunately the failsafe procedure is simpler; however I am now super careful about how I press the button, using a fine wooden stick.
With my Taranis website post I found some support for my views on the button; however the moderator suspected I was a Spektrum ring-in.
