  • Page 2: Welcome To The World Of Spektrum Technology

    Park yers Only The DX6 system is designed for park yer type aircraft only. This includes all forms of compact electric and non-powered airplanes as well as micro electric helicopters. While the system has more than adequate range for these types of aircraft, it is imperative that the system not be used in larger aircraft that could exceed the range.

  • Page 12: Pitch Curve

    Pitch Curve Adjusting the Normal Pitch Curves The DX6 offers three independent pitch curves with three adjustable points per curve. This function allocatesa separate pitch curve setting during Normal, Stunt, and Throttle Hold modes to maximize ight performance. Once the pitch curves are established, each can be activated in ight, using the two-position ight mode switch and the throttle hold switch.
  • Page 13: Throttle Curve

    This completes the basic Quick Start setup for your helicopter . For additional featues like additional pitch and throttle curves, throttle hold, remote gyro gain, etc., see the appropriate pages in the Table of Contents. Note: For CCPM helicopter setup see page 88. SPEKTRUM DX6 • HELICOPTER QUICK START GUIDE Distributed by www.modelflight.com.au...
  • Page 14: Important Gyro Information

    When the DX6 receiver is rst turned on, the servos are driven to their fail-safe positions until the receiver connects to the DX6 transmitter. This can take several seconds. If the fail-safe position for rudder is different than the rudder trim position, it is possible that the gyro will establish the fail-safe position as neutral instead of the trimmed neutral position.

  • Page 17: Charging The Transmitter

    Subsequent charges of 10–12 hours (approximately overnight) are recommended. Many modelers fast-charge their batteries. The DX6 does not have a charging diode in the circuit and will allow most fast chargers to be used, however, it is imperative to understand that all Spektrum™ transmitters have a center pin negative charge connector.
  • Page 18: Trainer System

    Trainer System The DX6 features a built-in trainer system. The transmitter can be used as either a master (trainer) or as a slave ® (trainee). The DX6 is compatible with all other Spektrum™ and JR radios that have built-in trainer systems. An optional Trainer Cord (SPM6805) is needed.

    2–3 seconds. A signi cant feature found only with Digital Trims is the ability for the DX6 to automatically store the trim values in system memory. This eliminates the need for previously found software functions like T rim Offset Memory (airplane), or Rudder Offset Memory and Stunt Trims (heli).
  • Page 22: Lithium Battery

    LITHIUM BATTERY Note: The DX6 has a 5-year lithium battery to protect your programmed data against main transmitter battery failure. If your system displays “error” or your data resets to the factory defaults, return your transmitter to Horizon Service Center (see page 93) for lithium battery replacement.
  • Page 23: Range Testing

    RANGE TESTING Before each ying session, and especially with a new model, it is important to perform a range check. The DX6 incorporates a system which, when the bind button on the back of the transmitter is pressed, the output power reduces allowing for a range check.
  • Page 24: Binding

    BINDING Each Spektrum™ transmitter has a GUID (Globally Unique Identi er) code. Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID of a single speci c transmitter. Binding teaches the receiver the speci c GUID of that transmitter, so that the receiver will only listen to the information from its previously bound transmitter and ignores everything else.
