14 SPEKTRUM DX8 • RADIO INSTRUCTION MANUAL
MODEL SELECT
The Model Select function is used to change to a different model memory, typically
when switching from the current model. You can store up to 30 models in the DX8’s
model memory. You can access the model select function through the System
Setup mode or through Direct Model Access. Direct Model Access allows you to
access the model select function at any time the main screen or a telemetry screen
is displayed.
Direct Access Model Select
Press the Clear and Back buttons simultaneously to access the Model Select screen
To directly access the Model Select Screen any time from the Main Screen or the
Telemetry screen, press the Clear and Back buttons simultaneously. The Model
Select screen displays for 10 seconds. If no activity occurs, the screen returns to
the previous Main or Telemetry screen.
To Access the Model Select Function through System Mode
Press and hold the roller while turning on the transmitter. When System Setup
appears on the screen, release the roller. The DX8 is now in System Setup Mode.
Highlight Model Select then press the roller to access the function.
The following screen appears. Rotate the roller to highlight the desired model
then press to select. The model name will display on the main screen.
ModelMatch
The DX8 features ModelMatch technology that prevents operating a model using
the wrong model memory. This feature can prevent stripped servo gears, broken
linkages and even a crash due to attempting to operate a model using the wrong
memory.
how ModelMatch Works
Each individual model memory (30 in total) has its own embedded code
transferred to the receiver during the binding process. The receiver actually
learns the specific model memory selected during binding. When bound, it
operates only when that model memory is selected. If a different model memory
is selected, the receiver won’t connect. At any time you can reprogram the receiver
to operate with any other model memory by rebinding with the transmitter
programmed to the desired model.
MODEL TYPE
Model Type programs the selected model memory to function in Helicopter or
Airplane programming. You should program Model Type first when setting up a
new model. Note: You can assign each model memory its own model type.
To Access the Model Type Function
Press and hold the roller while turning on the transmitter. When System Setup
appears on the screen, release the roller. The DX8 is now in System Setup Mode.
Rotate the roller to highlight Model Type then press to access the function.
The following screen appears:
Rotate the roller to highlight the desired model type (Helicopter or Airplane) then
press the roller to select.
The following screen appears. Rotate the roller to highlight YES then press the
roller to accept the model type. Selecting NO will return you to the previous
screen.
Note: When you change model types (Heli to Acro or Acro to Heli) all
current programming in the selected model memory will reset to the
factory default settings. All previous settings will be lost.
You can return to the System Setting screen at anytime by
pressing the back button on the transmitter once.
To return to the Main screen press the back button on the
transmitter twice or press and hold the Roller for more than
three seconds.
