What to do if my Spectrum Remote Control receiver quits responding during operation?
If your Spectrum receiver stops responding during operation, it could be due to inadequate battery voltage. Charge the batteries, as Spektrum receivers need at least 3.5V to operate. Also, check for loose or damaged wires or connectors between the battery and receiver, and repair or replace them as needed.
Why won't my Spectrum DX8 Remote Control system connect?
Your Spectrum system may not connect because the transmitter and receiver are too close; they should be 8 to 12 feet apart. Also, metal objects nearby can interfere, so move to an area with less metal. Ensure the selected model matches the one bound to the system. If the transmitter accidentally entered bind mode, rebind the transmitter and receiver.
What to do if my Spectrum DX8 Remote Control receiver is blinking at landing?
If your Spectrum receiver is blinking upon landing, it indicates a brownout has occurred. Check the battery voltage. Also, remember to turn off the transmitter when the receiver is turned off; otherwise, this can cause the blinking.
What to do if my Spectrum Remote Control receiver loses its bind?
If your Spectrum system's receiver loses its bind, it might be because the transmitter stand or tray is depressing the bind button. If so, remove it from the stand and rebind. Another reason could be that the bind button was pressed before the transmitter was turned on; in this case, rebind your system following the binding instructions.
What to do if my Spectrum DX8 Remote Control receiver goes into failsafe mode a short distance away from the transmitter?
If your Spectrum receiver enters failsafe mode close to the transmitter, check the receiver antenna for cuts or damage, and replace it or contact Horizon Product Support if needed. Also, ensure the main and remote receivers are at least 2 inches apart and perpendicular to each other.
Why RPM won’t read/display on my Spectrum DX8?
If the RPM won't read or display, the sensor might be too close to the backplate, picking up only the tip of the crank pin. Move the sensors away from the backplate.
Why does my Spectrum DX8 temperature sensor seem to read low?
If the temperature sensor reads low, it might be mounted on the front of the cylinder head and directly hit by the prop blast. Mount the sensor behind the cylinder head. When installing sensors note engine temperature with engine properly tuned. Use this as reference value. If temperature goes above this significantly, the engine is running too low.
