qUick-STaRT BaSic MODEL SETUP
The information in this section describes the basic steps that you can use to quickly setup a new model. Regardless of the model
you are flying, using the basic functions of the SD-6G transmitter for most applications is easy and will get your model setup
quickly. It's a simple five-step process.
1) Bind the Receiver to the Transmitter and Install the Receiver:
l
After connecting your airborne components and installing fully-charged transmitter and receiver batteries, turn the transmitter ON.
l
Hold down the Bind Button on the receiver. While holding down the Bind Button on the receiver, turn the receiver ON.
l
Release the Bind Button on the receiver. The Bind LED will slowly flash.
l
Press the transmitter Bind Button. The receiver's Bind LED will flash rapidly, then the receiver's Bind LED will turn solid blue
indicating the system is paired.
l
Install the receiver in your model, making sure that the two receiver antenna wires are mounted 90º to each other.
l
Rotate the transmitter antenna so that it is positioned at a 45º angle toward you.
2) Choose a Model Type:
l
Navigate to the TYPE menu, then press the INC+/M1 or DEC-/M2 keys to select the Model Type that matches your
model, either AERO (Aircraft) or HELI (Helicopter).
3) Make Model Type Selection Options:
l
Scroll down to choose the various options related to the Model Type you've chosen.
AERO - Select what type of wing (Normal or Delta), the type of tail (Normal, V-Tail, or Dual Elevator servos), and the
number of aileron servos in your wing (1 or 2).
HELI - Select what type of swashplate your model features, either Normal, or a CCPM swashplate. If choosing a CCPM
swashplate option, make sure that the CCPM swashplate type matches your model exactly.
l
After making your selections, press the ENTER key, then the INC+/M1 key. The pre-programmed model template will be
loaded into the transmitter.
4) Name Your Model:
l
Navigate to the MODEL NAME menu and input a name for your model. This will allow you to easily choose this model again
for later use. The Model Name will be displayed on the Display screen so that you know which model is currently in use.
5) Plug In Servos and Setup Control Surfaces:
l
Navigate to the SX MONITOR menu and use the information displayed on the Servo Monitor to plug your servos into the
correct channel slots in the receiver based on the Model Type selection options you chose previously.
l
Navigate to the REVERSE, CENTER, EPA, and D/R & EXPO menus to adjust direction of servo travel (REVERSE), servo
centering sub-trim (CENTER), desired servo travel in both directions (EPA), and if desired, the Dual Rate and Exponential
(D/R & EXPO) percentage values.

The receiver’s nominal input voltage is 4.8 volts to 6.0 volts. If your receiver battery's nominal voltage rating is greater than
6.0 volts, you must use a voltage regulator plugged between the switch harness and the receiver battery to drop your battery's
voltage to 6.0 volts.
