Channel 5 Knob
The HP6DSM transmitter is equipped with
an optional-use channel 5 knob (CH 5)
located on the forward top right panel, next
to the dual rate switch.
This knob allows you to control function of
the transmitter’s fi fth channel. And while
this channel remains unused for fl ying the
Blade SR, it is available for use in control-
ling a variety of potential optional features
including actuation of a servo, electronic
components or even for setting the gain of
a gyro remotely from the transmitter. It allows fully proportional control of the fi fth channel from approximately 0–100% travel.
Though servo reversing is available for this channel, the knob can be operated in either direction for control. You can use either the most
clockwise (+) or most counterclockwise (-) position for 0 or 100% travel, and you will achieve approximately 50% travel with the knob in
the middle position, pointing directly to the rear of the transmitter.
Transmitter, Receiver Binding and Fail-Safe
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifi er) code of a single specifi c
transmitter. If you ever have to replace the transmitter or the receiver for your model, you will need to “bind” the new transmitter or
receiver to your existing transmitter or receiver for proper operation.
During the binding process, the smart fail-safe (SmartSafe™) positions of your system are also set. With SmartSafe, in case of loss
of signal, the throttle will go to the preset position that was stored during the binding process and all other channels will hold their last
position. And if the 2-in-1 control unit and receiver are powered on before the transmitter, all channels but throttle will go to the fail-safe
positions that were stored during the binding process, while the throttle channel will not generate a pulse in order to prevent the ESCs
from arming.
Note
: Because the SmartSafe positions are set during the binding process, it is important to set all channels to the preferred fail-
safe positions before proceeding. In the case of the Blade SR, we strongly recommend setting the throttle stick and throttle
trim to their lowest positions, and the rudder, aileron and elevator sticks and trims to their neutral positions. Channel 5 should
be set to your preferred position if you have chosen to use it.
The following steps outline the binding process:
Note:
For added safety, disconnect both the main and tail motors from the 2-in-1 control unit before proceeding. Once the binding
process is complete and the fl ight battery is unplugged from the 2-in-1 unit, reconnect the main and tail motor to the
2-in-1 unit.
• In order to bind the Spektrum AR6100e receiver to the transmitter,
you must fi rst connect the included bind plug to the battery (BATT)
channel pins on the receiver. Then you will need to power on the
2-in-1 unit and receiver by connecting the fl ight battery to the 2-in-1
BEFORE powering the transmitter on.
• When you connect the fl ight battery to the 2-in-1 unit with the bind plug connected to the battery channel pins on the receiver, you will
see an orange LED blink rapidly on the receiver itself.
• Once the orange LED on the receiver begins to blink,
it will be time to power the transmitter on in bind
mode. To enter bind mode with the transmitter, pull
the trainer (TRAINER) switch toward the front of the
transmitter, then, while holding the trainer switch
forward, power the transmitter on. You’ve successfully
entered bind mode when the transmitter beeps and
the red LED located under the door on the bottom left
front of the transmitter blinks rapidly. You can release
the trainer switch after the transmitter stops beeping
and the transmitter will remain in bind mode until the
binding process is complete.
