Binding
1. Power the Aircraft ON.
2. The receiver in the flight controller will automatically enter bind mode if it does not
connect to a transmitter. Bind mode is indicated by flashing blue and red lights.
3. Put your transmitter into bind mode, the aircraft should connect and establish
a bind with your transmitter.
4. The aircraft must be kept upright and stable to initialize.

Battery Installation and ESC Arming
Battery Selection
A 4S 2200mAh LiPo battery is required. The Spektrum 2200mAh 14.8V 4S 30C
LiPo battery (SPMX22004S30) is recommended. Refer to the Optional Parts List for
other recommended batteries. If using a battery other than those listed, the battery
should be within the range of capacity, dimensions and weight of the Spektrum
Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage. Be sure the model balances at the
recommended CG before flying.
1. Lower the throttle to the lowest settings. Power ON the transmitter, then wait
5 seconds.
2. Remove the battery hatch.
3. Apply the loop side (soft side) of the included hook and loop tape to the bottom
of your battery, and the hook side to the battery tray.
4. Install the fully charged battery to the rear of the battery compartment as
shown.
5. Connect the battery to the ESC. If you have not completed the bind sequence,
do so at this time as outlined in this manual.
CAUTION:
Always keep hands away from the fan intake. When armed, the
motor will turn the rotor in response to any throttle movement.
6. Keep the aircraft immobile and away from wind or the system will not initialize.
• The motor will emit a tone when the battery is connected, and then 4 even
tones indicating the number of cells connected.
• The motor will emit a series of tones after the flight controller is initialized.
• An LED on the flight controller will indicate the flight mode after initialized.
Reinstall the battery hatch.
This aircraft includes telemetry between the ESC and receiver, which can provide
information including RPM, voltage, motor current, throttle setting (%), and FET
(speed controller) temperature.

to use the telemetry technology on your transmitter, visit www.SpektrumRC.com.
Telemetry Setup
DX series,
NX series,
iX series
1. Begin with the transmitter bound to the receiver.
2. Power ON the transmitter.
3. Set switch H (throttle cut) to prevent accidental motor operation.
4. Power ON the aircraft. A signal bar appears on your transmitter’s
main screen when the telemetry information is being received.
5. Go to the FUNCTION LIST
6. Select TELEMETRY; Smart ESC
7. Set Total Cells: 4
8. Set LVC Alarm: 3.4V Set Alarm; Voice/Vibe
9. Set pole count; 6 pole
Integrated ESC Telemetry
Failsafe
If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. When
activated, failsafe moves the throttle channel to its preset failsafe position (low throttle)
that was set during binding. All other channels move collectively and actively to place
the aircraft in a slow descending turn.
TIP:
Spektrum telemetry receiver voltage alarm default is set at 4.3V.
If your alarm is active, change; “Receiver Voltage”, Min RX V; 4.0V.
