Section 20: How to Range Test the DX5e

Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, it is important to perform a range check. The DX5e
incorporates a range testing system which, when placed in the RANGE CHECK mode with the trainer switch activated and
held, reduces the output power, allowing a range check.
RANGE TESTING THE DX5E

Step 1
With the model resting on the ground, stand 30 paces (approx. 90 feet) away from the model.

Step 2
Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position. Pull and hold the trainer switch while toggling the
HI/LO Rate Switch four times. The LEDs will flash and the alarm will sound indicating the system is in range check mode.

Step 3
You should have total control of the model with the trainer switch pulled at 30 paces (90 feet).

Step 4
If control issues exist, call the appropriate Horizon Product Support office or go to horizonhobby.com to find a local
Spektrum distributor in your country for service.
