SPEKTRUM DX5C • TRANSMITTER INSTRUCTION MANUAL

EN

NOTICE: 

Digital servos are required with the SRS6000 AVC receiver. Using analog servos with AVC technology will reduce the 

performance of the system and may cause the servos to overheat.

AUX CHANNELS AND AVC TECHNOLOGY

When AVC is active, the radio system will use the AUX 1 and 
AUX 2 channels for gain control. The AUX 1 and AUX 2 ports 
can be used in AVC mode to power a personal transponder, 
lights, drive servos, or operate auxillary devices. AUX 1 will 
follow steering gain, and AUX 2 will follow throttle gain. 
AUX 1 and AUX 2 are not available for use in mixes when AVC 
is active. For an independent channel, use AUX 3.

NOTICE:

 Do not cut, kink, or modify the antenna.

Damage to the coaxial portion of the antenna will 
reduce the performance of the antenna. Shortening or 
cutting off the 31mm tip may reduce the range to a 
small fraction of what it should be. 

ANTENNA INSTALLATION

The SR415 and SRS6000 receivers have a coaxial style antenna. 
Position the antenna vertically and away from the vehicle in an 
antenna tube. Make sure the tip of the antenna is as high as 
posible to maximize the signal strength. 

SR415 RECEVIER INSTALLATION (NO AVC)

Use double sided servo tape, hook and loop tape or foam rubber 
to mount the SR415 reciever securely where it is protected and 
isolated from vibration.

RECEIVER INSTALLATION

SRS6000 AVC RECEIVER INSTALLATION

Install the SRS6000 receiver in the vehicle before binding the 
transmitter and receiver. The receiver can be mounted completely 
fl at (label side up) or completely perpendicular on its side. When 
binding the receiver, the AVC system automatically detects the 
orientation of the receiver. 

If the receiver is angled, AVC technology may not function 
properly. If the orientation of the receiver is modifi ed after binding, 
you must rebind for AVC technology to function properly.

IMPORTANT:

 Do not use hook and loop tape to install the 

SRS6000 receiver. Using hook and loop tape will affect the 
performance of the AVC system.
