How Do I Bind My Spectrum Dx6?

The Spektrum DX6 is a six-channel, 2.4 Ghz RC transmitter and receiver system. It is primarily designed for use with remote-controlled airplanes and helicopters. The DX6 features programmable settings for pitch, throttle, trim and dual-rate control adjustments for up to 10 remote-controlled aircrafts. The binding process will "lock" the transmitter to the radio receiver, which allows you to control the aircraft.

Things You'll Need

Supplied binding plug

Instructions

- 1
  Turn off the power to the radio receiver and transmitter.
- 2
  Disconnect the battery connector from the small square-shaped receiver's "BAT" terminal, which is mounted within the aircraft's fuselage, if necessary. Certain electric-powered aircrafts may not utilize a separate battery pack for the receiver and may only use a single battery pack that connects to the electronic speed control. Nitro-powered aircrafts require a separate battery pack for the receiver.
- 3
  Insert the bind plug into the receiver's "BAT" terminal. For a nitro-powered aircraft, insert the battery pack connector into one of the available 3-pin channel terminals that are located next to the "BAT terminal. Turn on the receiver after making the connection. For electric-powered applications, connect the battery pack to the electronic speed control and then flip the aircraft's power switch to the "ON" position.
- 4
  Ensure that the throttle control is set at the lowest position. Turn on the transmitter while holding the "BIND" button, which is located at the rear of the device.
- 5
  Continue holding the "BIND" button until the LED indicators on the transmitter and receiver stop flashing and light green.
- 6
  Turn off the receiver followed by the transmitter. Remove the bind plug from the receiver. Reconnect the separate external battery to the "BAT" terminal if necessary.
