Installing the Transmitter Batteries (RTF)

Replace the transmitter batteries when the

transmitter beeps.

Transmitter Setup (BNF)

Program your transmitter before attempting to bind or ﬂ y

the helicopter. Transmitter programming values are shown

below for the Spektrum DX6i, DX7s, DX6, DX7, DX8, DX9

and DX18.

The ﬁ les for models using Spektrum

™

transmitters with

Spektrum AirWare

™

software are also available for down-

load online at www.spektrumrc.com.

Your helicopter is also compatible with Spektrum DXe radios

with software version 1.3 or higher. Use the directions below

to reverse channel 6, or use the appropriate programming

cable and the PC or mobile app to program the DXe. We

recommend downloading the Blade 120 S DXe model setup

available at www.spektrumrc.com.

If you are programming your DXe using the PC or mobile

app, make sure the "Transmitter Channels" value is set to

the default of 7. If for any reason this value is changed

to 9, the 120 S will bind to the DXe, but will not respond to

control inputs.

If your DXe was included in another Blade

Ready To Fly (RTF)

helicopter, the transmitter software will have to be updated

using the appropriate programming cable and either the PC or

mobile app available at www.spektrumrc.com.

Please note, the switch conﬁ guration used for DXe transmit-

ters included with the Blade 230 S RTF and Micro AH-64

Apache™ RTF varies from the standard DXe layout.

After reversing channel 6, bind the transmitter and

helicopter normally.

Flight modes are controlled by the Flight Mode switch.

Panic Mode is controlled by the Bind/Panic/Trainer button.

Once bound, the LED in the helicopter should glow blue for

ﬂ ight modes 0 and 1 (Stability, Low-Angle and High-Angle

Modes), and glow red for ﬂ ight mode 2 (Agility mode).

If the LED glows blue in all three ﬂ ight modes, channel 6

has not been reversed correctly. Use the directions above

to reverse channel 6.

To use the DXe transmitter with the Blade 120 S, channel 6 must be reversed.

To reverse channel 6:

1. While powering on the DXe, hold the left and right sticks in the top-inside corners

as shown.

2. Re-center the sticks after the transmitter beeps. The LED will ﬂ ash slowly.

3. To select a channel to reverse, move the right stick to the left or right and allow it

to re-center. Move the stick to the right to select the next channel. Move the stick

to the left to select the previous channel. The LED will ﬂ ash rapidly corresponding

to the channel selected, as shown in the table. Select channel 6.

4. To reverse the selected channel, move the right stick up or down. The LED will

change color to indicate the new channel direction.

The LED will ﬂ ash Orange to indicate the channel is normal.

The LED will ﬂ ash Red to indicate the channel is reversed.

5. To store the changes, power off the DXe.

CAUTION: During the subsequent power up, always verify the throttle

direction is correct and keep clear of the motor and rotor blades. Failure to do

so may result in injury or damage to the product.
