TRANSMITTER FUNCTIONS

CHARGING

POWERING UP/DOWN THE iX12 TRANSMITTER

The ﬁrst time you charge the transmitter, the charge time may be 15-20

hours. Always charge the transmitter on a heat-resistant surface.

Charging:

Connect the power supply to a power outlet using the appropriate adapter

and the Micro USB cable to the charge port on the transmitter as shown.

2. A Blue LED will ﬂash while charging. Also a fast press of the power switch

will bring the Charge Battery icon to the color touch screen display.

3. When the system is powered ON, charging is complete when the blue

ﬂashing LED stops. Disconnect the USB cable once charging is complete

and disconnect the power supply from the power outlet.

CAUTION: Never leave a charging battery unattended.

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 charge the battery outside of the transmitter due

to the battery monitoring system not recognizing the

charge of the battery when it is not charged inside the

transmitter. This can cause the system to give false low battery warnings.

•Always ensure all batteries have been properly charged

prior to using the model.

•Always check all servos and their connections prior to

each run.

•Never operate your model near spectators, parking

areas or any other area that could result in injury to

people or damage of property.

•Never operate your model during adverse weather

conditions. Poor visibility can cause disorientation and

loss of control of your model.

•Never point the transmitter antenna directly toward the

model. The radiation pattern from the tip of the antenna

is inherently low.

•If at any time during the operation of your model you

observe any erratic or abnormal operation, immediately

stop operation of your model until the cause of the

problem has been ascertained and corrected.

•Failure to exercise caution while using this product

and comply with the following warnings could result in

product malfunction, electrical issues, excessive heat,

FIRE, and ultimately injury and property damage.

•Read all safety precautions and literature prior to use

of this product

•Never allow minors to charge battery packs

•Never drop charger or batteries

•Never attempt to charge damaged batteries

•Never attempt to charge a battery pack containing

different types of batteries

•Never charge a battery if the cable has been pinched

or shorted

•Never allow batteries or battery packs to come into

contact with moisture at any time

•Never charge batteries in extremely hot or cold places

(recommended between 50–80˚ F or 10–27˚ C) or

place in direct sunlight

•Always disconnect the transmitter after charging, and

let the charger cool between charges

•Always inspect a new battery before charging

•Always terminate all processes and contact Horizon

Hobby if the product malfunctions

•Always keep batteries and charger away from any

material that could be affected by heat (such as

ceramic and tile), as they can get hot

•Always end the charging process if the charger or

battery becomes hot to the touch or starts to change

form (swell) during the charge process

Safety precautions

Charging Warnings

The iX12 features a push button ON/OFF switch.

1. To power on the transmitter, push and hold the Power button for several seconds until

the LCD screen displays the start up screen. Similar to other smart devices, startup takes

~1 minute at which time the Spektrum Airware™ app launches automatically and takes

approximately 1 1/2 minutes to fully launch.

2. To power down the transmitter, push and hold the Power button for several seconds until

the Power Off / Reboot prompt shows on the screen. Press Power Off to shutdown.

Tip

Pressing the Power button once will put the display to sleep but the radio will continue to transmit normally. Press the

power button again to wake up the screen.

Double pressing the Power button will open a window allowing you to select RF On/Off, LCD On/Off, or press and hold

to put both RF and LCD into sleep mode.

It is recommended you use the sleep mode rather than turning the system Off on ﬂying days.
