Transmitter And Receiver Range Testing - E-flight Blade SR RTF Airframe Instruction Manual

• Once the orange LED on the receiver begins to blink, it will be time to power the transmitter on in bind mode.
To enter bind mode with the transmitter, pull the trainer (TRAINER) switch toward the front of the transmitter,
then, while holding the trainer switch forward, power the transmitter on. You've successfully entered bind
mode when the transmitter beeps and the red LED located under the door on the bottom left front of the
transmitter blinks rapidly. You can release the trainer switch after the transmitter stops beeping and the
transmitter will remain in bind mode until the binding process is complete.
• Then, once the orange LED on the receiver glows solidly, the receiver is bound to the transmitter.
Now you will need to power down the 2-in-1 control unit, receiver and transmitter, and remove the bind plug
from the receiver.
Note: You will need to remove the bind plug from the receiver once it has been bound to the transmitter. If you
do not remove the bind plug, the receiver will enter bind mode every time the 2-in-1 unit and receiver are
powered on.

Transmitter and Receiver Range Testing

Because the HP6DSM transmitter features Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM full range technology, it also features a range test
mode that allows you to check and ensure that the transmitter and receiver are offering the required range for proper
and reliable operation.
Before each flying session, and especially with a new model/receiver, you should perform a range check. To perform a
range check, the transmitter must be in the range check/reduced power output mode.
You can enter the range check mode by having the transmitter powered on, then pulling the trainer (TRAINER) switch
toward the front of the transmitter. Then, while holding the trainer switch forward, you will need to cycle the dual rate
(D RATE) switch from the high position (HI) to the low position (LO) two times (for a total of four dual rate switch
position changes).
After cycling the dual rate switch properly while holding the trainer switch, the transmitter should begin to beep. The
transmitter is now in range check mode, and will continue to beep and remain in this mode until the trainer switch is
released. However, before releasing the trainer switch, it will be necessary to confirm proper range by completing the
following steps.
Note: It is helpful to perform the range check with the help of another person that can confirm proper control
response of the model while it is positioned away from you.
• With the model resting on the ground, stand 30 paces (approximately 90 feet) away from the model.
• Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position.
• You should have total control of the model with the trainer switch pulled at 30 paces (90 feet).
