3. Move the throttle stick and switches on the transmitter
to the desired AR600 smartsafe positions, usually low
throttle.
4. Pull and hold the trainer switch on the top of the
transmitter while turning on the power switch. Release
the trainer switch once the LEDs on the front of the
transmitter flash, and a series of tones are heard.
Within a few seconds the system should connect.
Once connected the LED on the receiver will go solid
indicating the system is connected.
Note: Continuing to hold the trainer switch during
the binding process will prevent the preset smartsafe
position from being learned by the receiver.
5. Remove the bind plug from the BIND/DATA port on the
receiver before you power off the receiver and store it in
a convenient place.
6. After you’ve set up your model, it’s important to rebind
the system so the true low throttle is programmed.
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 mode which reduces the output
power of the transmitter, allowing a range check.
RANGE TESTING THE DX5E
1. With the model restrained on the ground, stand 30
paces (approx. 90 feet/28 meters) away from the model.
Note: Prior to performing the range check ensure the
correct Smartsafe throttle stick position is established.
2. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal
flying position. Pull and hold the trainer switch then
toggle the HI/LO Rate Switch four times. The LEDs will
flash and the alarm will sound indicating the system is
in range check mode.
Note: The trainer switch must be held the entire time
during the range check process; releasing the trainer
switch will exit the range check mode.

trainer switch pulled at 30 paces (90 feet/28 meters).
