Page 5: Dx2.0 With Digital Spectrum Modulation
DX2.0 with The DSM system operates in the 2.4GHz band (that’s 2400MHz). This high frequency offers ® a significant advantage as it’s well out of the range of model-generated radio interference Digital (like motor and ESC noise). All the complex issues that now exist using 27 and 75MHz radios with model-generated interfering noise are eliminated with this system. -
Page 6: Binding
Binding During the first installation, the receiver(s) must be bound to the transmitter. Binding is necessary to program the receiver(s) to distinguish its corresponding transmitter from others. Also fail-safe positions are transferred from the transmitter to the receiver during binding. See binding below for more details. It is necessary to bind the receiver to the transmitter during the first installation, and is recommended when the receiver is moved from one vehicle to another. -

Binding 2. With the receiver off, press and hold the bind button on the receiver while turning on the receiver. (continued) 3. Release the bind button when the LED flashes green. 4. With the transmitter off, place the transmitter steering wheel and throttle trigger channels in their desired fail-safe positions (normally brake and straight- ahead steering). -

Page 11: Receiver Connections And Installation
Receiver Note: When using a separate Ni-Cd receiver as a power source, the operating voltage range is 4.8–6.0V (4–5 cells) under load. Connections Attention: Make sure the male and female connectors have the correct polarity (+/–) before connecting. Be sure to orient the servo plug correctly for proper insertion. Installation Most electronic speed controllers are set up for B.E.C. -

Page 13: Display Screens
If you switch the power off and on again, and the transmitter is in the default mode with all data lost, it is strongly suggested that the DX2.0 transmitter be returned to the Horizon Service Center for servicing (see Warranty Information, page 29). -
Page 14: Accessing The System Mode
Accessing the To enter the System Mode, press both the SCROLL and CHANNEL keys at the same time while turning on the transmitter power switch. By pressing the SCROLL key, you can now System Mode choose Model Select, Model Name Input, Grip Button C function or the Data Reset function as shown here on the System Mode flow chart. -
Page 15: Model Select (System Mode)
Model Select The DX2.0 has memory for two models. This feature allows for two different models to be operated with the same transmitter (additional receivers and servos must be purchased (System Mode) separately) or one model with two different race setups. -
Page 16: Model Name Entry (System Mode)
Model Name The DX2.0 allows a three-character name to be input for each of the two (2) models available. The current model, with name, will then be displayed in the Normal display screen. This Entry feature is useful to help identify different models, setups, etc. For information on selecting (System Mode) models 1 or 2, please refer to the Model Select Function (page 15). -
Page 17: Data Reset (System Mode)
Data Reset The Data Reset function allows you to reset all the programming in the selected model (1 or 2) to the factory default settings. Before using the Data Reset function, it’s important to enter (System Mode) the Model Select function and check to make sure the current model number indicated (1 or 2) is the model to which you want to reset to the factory default settings. -

End-Point steering and throttle servos to be increased or decreased in each direction to achieve the exact servo movement needed. The End-Point Adjustment range is from 0% to 125% and Adjustment is factory set to 100% for both channels. The value displayed on the screen depends on (Function Mode) the current position of the steering wheel, trigger, or trim lever to be adjusted. -
Page 20: Sub-Trim (Function Mode)
Sub-Trim The Sub-Trim function of the DX2.0 is an electronic trimming feature that allows the neutral position of the servo on either the steering or throttle channel to be moved, while allowing (Function Mode) the electronic trim lever for that channel to remain in the center position. This feature is very useful, as it allows the servo arm/wheel position to be moved to help with control linkage installation, eliminating the need to make mechanical linkage adjustments. -
Page 21: Servo Reversing (Function Mode)
Servo The Servo Reversing feature of the DX2.0 is a very convenient feature when setting up a new model. The purpose of the Servo Reversing function is to change the direction of the servo Reversing rotation in relation to the wheel/trigger movement. The Servo Reversing function is available (Function Mode) for the steering and throttle of the DX2.0. -
Page 22: Accessing The Direct Trim Mode
Accessing the The Direct Trim Mode function of the DX2.0 is accessible through the use of the electronic throttle or steering trim levers, as well as the two electronic grip levers (A&B) located on Direct Trim the upper portion of the grip handle. This function allows for quick trim adjustment of these controls, without the need to access these functions through the four keypad control keys. -
Page 23: Steering Trim (Stc)
Steering Trim The DX2.0 electronic Steering Trim lever, located just above the steering wheel, allows the center position of the servo to be manipulated in either direction to achieve precise centering (STC) of the steering assembly. Steering Travel End-Point Adjustment values (page 19) remain completely independent from the steering trim, unless the trim value exceeds the selected end-point values. -
Page 24: Throttle Trim (Thc)
Throttle Trim The DX2.0’s electronic Throttle Trim lever, located to the left of the steering wheel, allows the center position of the servo to be manipulated in either direction to achieve precise centering (THC) of the throttle trigger neutral position. Throttle End-Point adjustment values (page 19) remain completely independent from the throttle trim, unless the trim value exceeds the selected end-point values. -
Page 25: Grip Lever B: Steering Dual Rate Trim Adjustment Stg
Grip Lever B: The Steering Dual Rate Trim Adjustment, located at Grip Lever B, allows the dual rate value (maximum servo travel) to be increased or decreased within a range from 100% through Steering Dual 20% of the total end-point value established in the steering EPA function. This function is very useful in race conditions as it allows you to custom tailor the steering radius and Rate Trim sensitivity for the current track conditions. -
Page 26: Grip Lever A: Brake Endpoint Adjustment Brk Brake Endpoint Adjustment
Grip Lever A: The Brake End-Point Adjustment, located at Grip Lever A, allows the maximum servo travel on the braking side of the throttle trigger to be increased or decreased from 100% to 0% Brake (off).
