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 preset failsafe positions

from being learned by the receiver.

5. Remove the bind plug from the BATT/BIND 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 and neutral control

surface positions are 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 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

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 failsafe stick positions are established.

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.

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).
