SPEKTRUM DX8G2 • TRANSMITTER INSTRUCTION MANUAL
EN
The Serial Number screen displays the transmitter serial number
and AirWare software version.
Reference the Serial Number screen any time you need to register
your transmitter or update the AirWare software from the Spektrum
Community website.
The transmitter AirWare software version appears between
PREV
and
NEXT
at the bottom of the Serial Number screen. Register
your DX8 to get AirWare software updates and other news at
spektrumrc.com
IMPORTANT:
AirWare files are specific to the transmitter
serial number and you cannot transfer AirWare files between
transmitters, ie., downloading an AirWare software update once
and attempting to install it on multiple transmitters.
Calibrating the Transmitter

and press the scroll wheel. The SD Status
screen appears and should display MY_DX8.xml in the middle
of the screen.

screen.
4. Power off the transmitter and remove the SD Card from the
transmitter.
5. Install the SD Card in a card reader connected to your
