Trainer; Wired Trainer - Spectrum DX6 Instruction Manual

SYSTEM SETUP

TRAINER

The DX6 features a programmable trainer function with 4 wired trainer modes and 2 wireless trainer modes. The transmitter assigns the
trainer function to Switch I.

Wired Trainer

The 4 wired trainer modes include:
Inhibit
In Inhibit, the slave transmitter must have the same
programming as the master transmitter (e.g., servo reversing,
travel adjust, sub-trim, trims).
Programmable Master
Programmable mode enables you to program the master
transmitter to transfer any or all individual channels when you
activate the trainer switch. This mode is ideal for beginners
learning to control individual channels while the master transmitter
maintains control of all other channels.
The slave transmitter should be in Inhibit mode, if available. The
Master and Slave transmitters MUST have the same programming.
Pilot Link Master
Pilot Link Master enables you to program the master
transmitter to transfer any or all individual channels when you
activate the trainer switch. Pilot Link Master is ideal for
complex models, as the master transmitter can maintain
control of all secondary functions—for example flight modes,
retracts, flaps and brakes. Secondary functions can be individually
assigned to the Slave transmitter as necessary. It is not necessary
to have model programming in the slave transmitter.
It may be necessary for the slave transmitter to be in Inhibit mode
to allow trim changes to transfer over from the master transmitter.

DX6 Wired Trainer Operation
1. Bind the master transmitter to the model.
2. Connect the trainer cord (SPM6805) to the back of the master
transmitter.
3. Make sure the master and slave transmitter battery packs are
fully charged.
4. Make sure the slave transmitter is powered off. The slave
transmitter will power on when you connect the trainer cord.
5. Connect the trainer cord to the slave transmitter.
6. The slave transmitter screen displays information but does not
send a signal to the model.
7. Press the trainer button on the master transmitter to transfer
model control from the master to the slave.
8. While moving the trainer switch between the off and on
positions, watch for movement on the control surfaces. Adjust
the trims as necessary before flying.
9. Release the trainer button and the master transmitter regains
control of the model.
Master Override
The Master Override feature enables the instructor to immediately
regain control of the model by moving the control sticks. After you
activate Master Override, the slave transmitter cannot control the
model until you reset the trainer switch. To reset the trainer switch:
1. Move the trainer switch to the OFF position.
2. Move the trainer switch to the ON position to activate the slave
transmitter.
