Page 5: Setting Up The Transmitter
Hold Indicator The AR635 features a red LED (Indicated by H). This LED indicates the number of holds that have occurred since the receiver was last powered on. The LED will fl ash the number of holds, then pause (e.g., fl ash, fl ash, fl ash, pause, fl... - Page 6 5. Put your transmitter in Bind Mode. The system connects within a few seconds. Once connected, the orange LED light turns solid and the AR635 receiver begins the initialization process. At this point, the gain lights should be fl ashing at the preset gain values.
- Page 7 Receiver Setup Procedure The Spektrum AR635 receiver offers LED programming and the following adjustable features: • 3D Airplane: Non-Computer transmitter • 3D Airplane: Computer transmitter • Sport Airplane: All Transmitters If you select a 3D Airplane transmitter, 5 channels are available for aircraft controls.
- Page 8 Enter Transmitter Type Computer and Non-Computer Radios The AR635 receiver is compatible with both “non-computer” as well as “computer” radios. Each receiver mode (3D Non-Computer, 3D Computer or Sport all transmitters) stores the specifi c gain values for each transmitter type.
- Page 9 3D Computer: 1. With the transmitter powered ON, move the throttle stick to the middle position. 2. Hold full Right Aileron and full Down Elevator while powering on the receiver. After 5 seconds, the blue and green LEDs in the receiver turn solid, indicating that you have successfully entered 3D Computer Radio mode.
- Page 10 Enter Gain Control To access the Gain Control Mode, the transmitter must use a specifi c stick combination. With the transmitter powered ON, hold the sticks as shown in the chart below while powering on the receiver. Entering Gain Control by Stick Combination: Aileron / Elevator Mode 1 Mode 2...

Page 11: Gain Adjustment
Gain Adjustment The gain is grouped in steps and can be changed by moving the Aileron stick left or right. With the transmitter servo reversing set to normal, Right input is a Positive (+) step, while left input is a Negative (–) step. Each input represents one 10 % gain value up to +/- 100%. - Page 12 Axis Selection (Roll, Pitch, Yaw) The elevator stick selects the axis for gain adjustment. Moving the elevator stick up or down moves the 3 LED’s in a continuous loop. From the roll axis (Red solid), push the elevator stick once to change to pitch axis (Blue solid), then push the elevator stick again to change to rudder axis (Green Solid).
- Page 13 Lights All three LEDs will fl ash three times, indicating you have entered the gain setup mode successfully. When an individual Axis (Roll/Pitch/Yaw) is selected, the light assigned for that axis will turn solid. The gain value and sensing direction will be represented by the remaining two lights. The receiver programming lights can be seen through the transparent smoke gray receiver case for programming: Gain Setup: LEDs...
- Page 14 Sensor/Servo Direction and Compensation It is extremely important to make sure that the sensors are compensating in the desired direction prior to the fi rst fl ight. NOTICE: AS3X will not turn on until the throttle is advanced. Once the throttle is advanced, AS3X will remain on untill the radio is turned off.
- Page 15 Aileron Pick up the airplane and quickly move the right wing panel downward. The right aileron should move in the same direction (down). If it moves in the opposite direction, enter Gain Mode and change the sensing direction to the opposite direction.
-
Page 16: Flight Mode
Use lower gain values for General Flight (faster air speed and smaller control surface throws). The AR635 receiver is also pre-programmed with a set of Dual Rate values for both 3D Flight Mode positions (Gear Switch). The pre-programmed values in the receiver cannot be adjusted. - Page 17 All other gain settings remain as they were. Factory Default Gain Settings To access to factory default gain settings of the AR635, a transmitter stick combination must be used. With the transmitter powered ON, hold full right rudder in combination with throttle full down, then power ON the receiver.
- Page 18 Initializing the AR635 Once the AR635 receiver has been programmed and the correct sensing direction has been selected, it is very important to power OFF the receiver, then power it back ON to initialize the sensors. Place the aircraft on the ground out of the wind, then power the receiver ON.

Page 19: Recommended Power System Test Guidelines
AS3X sensor must reboot and re-initialize. WARNING: If a power interruption/brownout occurs during fl ight, a crash will occur. It is your responsibility to ensure the AR635 has suffi cient power without interruption. Some of the power system components that affect the ability to properly deliver adequate power include: •... -

Range Testing Before each fl ying session, and especially with a new model, perform a range check. All Spektrum aircraft transmitters incorporate a range testing system which, when activated, reduces the output power, allowing a range check. -
