Warnings

The Warnings function programs an alarm to sound or a vibration
to be made if specific switches or stick positions are in an unsafe
position when the transmitter is powered on.
When such an unsafe condition exists, an alarm sounds, the
screen displays a warning and transmission will not occur until
the stick or switch is moved back to a safe position.
You can program additional warnings to alert yourself of unsafe
conditions during operation (for example component overheating
or low battery power).

In helicopter model type, default warnings include Throttle,
Stunt and Hold. In airplane model type, default warnings include
Throttle Low, Flaps and Gear.

Model Copy

The Model Copy Screen supports copying the active model’s
programming to one of the other 19 model memories.
Common uses of this Model Copy function include:

• Organize model memories by category, type, etc. You will

need to re-bind after moving models among the 20 memo-
ries.

• Experiment with model programming while keeping a safety

copy.

• Use Model Copy to try two setups for one model, but remem-

ber to re-bind the receiver each time you change between
model memories.

• Copy an existing model’s programming to a memory for a

similar model. Some pilots simplify programming this way.
For example, a JR

®

Vibe™ 50 helicopter with 120CCPM

mixing, gyro and governor programming is a good program-
ming start for another nitro-powered 120CCPM mixing

helicopter. Also, an Extra 300 with dual aileron and elevator
servos programmed for dual flap and dual elevator mixing
is a good programming start for another aerobatic airplane
with the same control system.

• Copying to a model memory overwrites and deletes existing

programming in that memory. Refer to Transfer SD Card for
saving model memories on an SD card.

Telemetry

The DX7s is ready to operate with telemetry modules. Please
scroll through available options on the Telemetry Screen for
ideas about what sensor types you would like to purchase.
Refer to www.spektrumrc.com for more information about
new telemetry modules and DX7s firmware updates to support
telemetry options.
Telemetry input to the transmitter requires correct installation
and binding of telemetry modules. Telemetry data is only avail-
able on screen when using a receiver with a telemetry module.

Bind the Telemetry Module and Receiver

1. Connect the data port on the telemetry module to the data

port on the receiver using the data lead.

2. Press and hold the bind button on the side of the telemetry

module.

3. While holding the bind button on the telemetry module,

power on the receiver. The main receiver, attached remote
receiver and the telemetry module LEDs will blink, indicating
the system is in bind mode.

4. Put throttle and switches in the desired failsafe positions

(normally low throttle and neutral sticks) and put the trans-
mitter into bind mode.

5. The transmitter’s main screen will show the receiver type.

After several seconds, the system connects and the trans-
mitter will show the Main Screen.

6. Go to the Telemetry Screen and make sure flight log data

and receiver voltage shows.
