WARNINGS
The Warnings function programs an alarm to sound if specific switches or stick
positions are in an unsafe position when the transmitter is first turned on. In
helicopter model type default warnings include Throttle, Stunt 1, Stunt 2 and
Hold. In airplane model type these warnings include Throttle Low, Flaps, Gear,
Flight Mode 1 and Flight Mode 2. If you turn the transmitter on and any of these
switches or the throttle is not at the low position, the alarm will sound; the screen
will display the warning and no transmission will occur until the stick or switch is
in the correct position.
To Access the Warnings Screen
Press and hold the roller while turning on the transmitter. When System Setup
appears on the screen, release the roller. The DX8 is now in System Setup Mode.
Rotate the roller to highlight Warning then press.
The following screen appears:
Highlight the desired warning (Throttle, Stunt 1, Stunt 2 or Hold or Throttle, Flaps,
Gear, Flight Mode 1 and Flight Mode 2 for airplane model) then press the roller to
select. Now rotate the roller to inhibit or activate the selected warning.
To verify the warning is functioning turn the transmitter off, move the selected switch
or throttle in the offending position then turn the transmitter on. The alarm will
sound; the screen will display the specific warning and no modulation will occur.
TELEMETRY
Spektrum’s TM1000 telemetry module is compatible with all Spektrum and JR
receivers that have a Data (Flight Log) port including:
Spektrum
•AR7000 •AR9000
•AR7600 •AR9200
•AR8000 •AR9300
•AR12000 •AR7100
•AR7100R •AR9100
JR
•R921 •R1221
•R922 •R1222
Installing the TM1000
Mount the TM1000 module near the receiver in a position that allows the 3-inch
data lead to extend from the receiver’s Data port to the Data port on the telemetry
module. You can use servo tape to secure the TM1000 module or wrap it in foam
with the receiver. Plug the Data lead into the TM1000 port marked DATA and plug
the other end of the lead into the receiver’s DATA port.
NOTICE: Route and secure the antenna away from any metallic or conductive
materials to give the best range.
At this point the internal telemetry including the flight log data and the receiver
pack voltage is fully functional.
Before continuing, bind the system to the transmitter and confirm the telemetry
system is functioning.
To bind the Telemetry Module and Receiver
1. Press and hold the bind button on the side of the TM1000 telemetry module.
2. While depressing the bind button, power the receiver. The main receiver,
all attached remote receivers and the TM1000 telemetry module will blink
indicating the system is in bind mode.
3. With the stick and switches in the desired failsafe positions (normally low
throttle and neutral sticks), put the transmitter into bind mode.
4. The main screen displays the receiver type. After several seconds, the
system connects and reverts to the main screen.
