Range Test Your Radio

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.

1. With the model resting on the ground, stand 30 paces

(approximately 90 feet) away from the model.

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.
