Before each fl ying session, and especially with a new
model, you should perform a range check. If you have the
BNF aircraft, refer to your transmitter manual to perform a
range check of your system.
The RTF included DXe transmitter incorporates a range
check mode to reduce the output power of the transmitter.
Follow the directions below to enter range check mode for
the DXe transmitter:
1. Power on the transmitter for 5 seconds or more with
the throttle stick low and throttle trim centered.
2. Power on the aircraft, keeping it immobile for 5
seconds. The elevator will slowly move up and down,
indicating the aircraft is searching for GPS lock.
3. Turn the GPS function off by pressing and holding the
bind button and fully cycling the fl ight mode switch 3
times. The elevator movement will stop and the rudder
will wag, indicating GPS is off.
4. Release the bind button.
5. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal
fl ying position.
6.
Toggle the HI/LO Rate switch rapidly 4 times and
then press and hold the bind button.
The transmit-
ter LEDs will fl ash and the alarm will sound. The sys-
tem is in range check mode. Do not let go of the bind
button until you are fi nished with the range check.
IMPORTANT:
You must hold the BIND button during
the entire range check process. Releasing the button will
immediately exit the range check mode and you will need
to start again.
7. With the radio system powered on and the model
safely restrained on the ground, stand 28 meters
(90 feet) away from the model.
TIP:
In some aircraft, when the model is placed on the
ground, the antenna(s) can be within inches of the ground.
Close proximity of the antenna(s) to the ground can reduce
the effectiveness of the range check. If you experience
issues during the range check, restrain the model on a
non-conductive stand or table up to 2ft (60cm) above the
ground, then range check the system again.
8. Move the transmitter rudder, elevator, aileron and
throttle controls to ensure they operate smoothly at
28 meters (90 feet).
9. If control issues exist, do not attempt to fl y. Refer
to the contact table at the end of the this manual to
contact Horizon Hobby product support. Also, see the
Spektrum website for more information.
10. When the range check is successfully completed,
release the bind button to exit range check mode.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to fl y while the
transmitter is in range check mode due to
reduced output power of the transmitter. Loss of control
will occur.
WARNING:
Do not perform this or any other
equipment test with the propeller installed on the
aircraft. Serious injury or property damage could result
from the motor starting inadvertently.
WARNING:
While holding the aircraft during the
range test, always keep body parts and loose
items away from the motor. Failure to do so could cause
personal injury.
