8 SPEKTRUM NX20 • TRANSMITTER INSTRUCTION MANUAL
EN
For optimum charging results, the built-in charger requires a USB
power supply capable of at least 2-3A output. Using a power supply
with a lower output will result in very long charge times or the
transmitter not charging if it is powered on while attempting to charge.
The first time the transmitter is charged, the charge time may be
6-7 hours. Charge the transmitter when the low battery alarm
sounds. See the System Settings section for information on setting
the low battery alarm level.
Always charge the transmitter on a heat-resistant surface.
CAUTION: Never change the low voltage limit for Li-Ion
batteries below 3.3V. Doing so could over-discharge the
battery and damage both battery and transmitter.
CAUTION: Never leave a charging battery unattended.
CAUTION: Never charge the battery outside of the
transmitter. Charging the battery outside of the
transmitter may interfere with the battery monitoring system,
which can give false low battery warnings.
1. Connect a 2-3A USB power supply (not included) to an AC outlet.
2. Connect the included magnetic USB charging cable to the
power supply.
3. Insert the included magnetic USB-C adapter in the USB port
on the back of the transmitter.
4. Connect the USB charging cable to the magnetic adapter.
5. The power button will illuminate green while charging. A fast
press of the power switch will bring the battery charge status
icon to the display.
6. Charging is complete when the green light on the power
button goes out. Disconnect the USB cable once charging is
complete.
Disconnect the power supply from the power outlet.
The magnetic micro USB adapter can be left in the transmitter
USB port for future use.
