Model Select; Model Type - Spektrum DX8 Instruction Manual

EN
The Model Select function is used to change to a different model memory, typically
when switching from the current model. You can store up to 30 models in the DX8' s
model memory. You can access the model select function through the System
Setup mode or through Direct Model Access. Direct Model Access allows you to
access the model select function at any time the main screen or a telemetry screen
is displayed.

The DX8 features ModelMatch technology that prevents operating a model using
the wrong model memory. This feature can prevent stripped servo gears, broken
linkages and even a crash due to attempting to operate a model using the wrong
memory.
Each individual model memory (30 in total) has its own embedded code
transferred to the receiver during the binding process. The receiver actually
learns the specific model memory selected during binding. When bound, it
operates only when that model memory is selected. If a different model memory
is selected, the receiver won't connect. At any time you can reprogram the receiver
to operate with any other model memory by rebinding with the transmitter
programmed to the desired model.
