Spektrum AR9100

Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, it’s important 

to perform a range check. All Spektrum aircraft tranmitters incorporate a 

range testing system which, when the bind button on the transmitter is 

pressed and held, reduces the output power, allowing a range check. 

Range Testing

1.  With the model resting on the ground, stand 30 paces (approx. 90 feet) 

away from the model. 

2.    Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position and 

depress and hold the bind button on the back of the transmitter. This 

causes reduced power output from the transmitter.

3.  You should have total control of the model with the button depressed at  

30 paces (90 feet). 

4.  If control issues exist, call the Spektrum Service Center at  

1-877-504-0233 for further assistance.
