## Manual Control Loss Failsafe
The manual control loss failsafe may be triggered if the connection to the [RC transmitter](../getting_started/rc_transmitter_receiver.md) or [joystick](../config/joystick.md) is lost, and there is no fallback.
If using an [RC transmitter](../getting_started/rc_transmitter_receiver.md) this is triggered if the RC [transmitter link is lost](../getting_started/rc_transmitter_receiver.md#set-signal-loss-behaviour).
If using [joysticks](../config/joystick.md) connected over a MAVLink data link, this is triggered if the joysticks are disconnected or the data link is lost.
::: info
PX4 and the receiver may also need to be configured in order to _detect RC loss_: [Radio Setup > RC Loss Detection](../config/radio.md#rc-loss-detection).
:::
A [Manual Control Loss Failsafe](../config/safety.md#manual-control-loss-failsafe) is triggered after a [manual control loss timeout](#COM_RC_LOSS_T) in which none of the configured [Manual Controllers](../config/manual_control.md) are available.

The QGCroundControl Safety UI allows you to set the [failsafe action](#failsafe-actions) and [manual control loss timeout](#COM_RC_LOSS_T).
Users that want to disable this failsafe in specific modes can do so using the parameter [COM_RCL_EXCEPT](#COM_RCL_EXCEPT).
