WARNING AGAINST COUNTERFEIT PRODUCTS Always purchase from a Horizon Hobby, Inc. authorized dealer to ensure authentic high-quality Spektrum product. Horizon Hobby, Inc. disclaims all support and warranty with regards, but not limited to, compatibility and performance of counterfeit products or products claiming compatibility with DSM or Spektrum technology. - Page 3 Spektrum launched the 2.4GHz RC revolution with its DSM2® technology. Since then, millions of hobbyists the world over have come to embrace 2.4 as the way to fly. Spektrum leads the way yet again with DSMX—the world’s first wideband frequency-agile 2.4GHz signal protocol.
- Page 4 Are DSM2 Transmitters Eligible for a DSMX Add-on? Yes. Spektrum and JR DSM2 transmitters except the DX5e can be updated by contacting an authorized Horizon Hobby service center. There is a fee to update the transmitter to DSMX.

Page 6: Specifications
Spektrum AR6260 User Guide The Spektrum™ AR6260 6-channel full range receiver is designed for installation in compact airplanes constructed of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber can create an RF shielding effect that can significantly reduce radio range when using conventional receivers and antennas. The AR6260 features an antenna design that overcomes RF issues in these critical environments. - Page 7 31mm 199mm The AR6260 features a red LED (labeled with H on the Polycarbonate Case) that indicates the number of holds that have occurred since the receiver was last powered on. The LED will flash the number of holds, then pause (e.g., flash, flash, flash, pause, flash, flash, flash, pause indicates three holds occurred since the receiver was last turned on).
- Page 8 Step 1. Identifying the Type of Carbon Aircraft While some Hand Launch Gliders and F5D airplanes are full carbon construction, many only use carbon in areas that require extra strength. Some of the latest aircraft are constructed with 2.4GHz friendly fuselages, meaning that the forward section of the fuselage is constructed from non-conductive materials like fiberglass and Kevlar composite materials that don’t affect RF.
- Page 9 Step 2. Determining Antenna Mounting Positions After determining which type of aircraft you will be using from the list above, refer to the antenna mounting illustrations as a guideline as to where the feeder antennas should be located. Keep in mind that full carbon aircraft will require externally mounted antennas, while the 2.4GHz-friendly fuselage can have the antennas mounted internally.
- Page 10 (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You must bind the AR6260 receiver to your transmitter before it will operate. 1A. To bind the AR6260 to a DSM2/DSMX transmitter, insert the bind plug in the BATT/BIND port on the receiver.
- Page 11 3. Move the throttle stick and all channels to the desired failsafe position. 4. Follow the procedures of your specific transmitter to enter Bind Mode. The system will connect within a few seconds. Once connected, the two LEDs on the receiver will turn solid. 5.
- Page 12 Preset Failsafe The AR6260 features preset failsafe on all channels. Preset failsafe is ideal for sailplanes, allowing the aircraft to automatically dethermalize if the signal is lost. With preset failsafe, all channels go to their preset failsafe positions if the signal is lost, preventing a flyaway.
- Page 13 Tip: The Spektrum Flight Log (SPM9540) is the perfect tool to monitor voltage in the test below. The Flight Log is not compatible with the AR6260 for recording flight data. Plug the Flight Log into an open channel port in the receiver and with the system on, load the control surfaces (apply pressure with your hand) while monitoring the voltage at the receiver.
- Page 14 Tips on Using Spektrum 2.4GHz While your DSM equipped 2.4GHz system is intuitive to operate, functioning nearly identically to 72MHz systems, following are a few common questions from customers. 1. Q: Which do I turn on first, the transmitter or the receiver? A: It doesn’t matter, although it is suggested to turn the transmitter on first.
- Page 15 drops below the low voltage threshold (3.5 volts), the DSM receiver must reboot (go through the start-up process of scanning the band and finding the transmitter) and this can take several seconds. 4. Q: Sometimes my receiver loses its bind and won’t connect requiring rebinding.
