Installing the Transmitter Batteries (RTF)

Replace the transmitter batteries when the

transmitter beeps.

Transmitter Setup (BNF)

Program your transmitter before attempting to bind or ﬂy

the helicopter. Transmitter programming values are shown

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

and DX18.

The ﬁles for models using Spektrum

™

transmitters

with Spektrum AirWare

™

software are also available for

download 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 S2 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 S2 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 conﬁguration used for DXe

transmitters included with the Blade 230 S RTF and Micro AH-

64 Apache™ RTF varies from the standard DXe layout.

To use the DXe transmitter with the Blade 120 S2, 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 ﬂash 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 ﬂash 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.

5. The LED will ﬂash Orange to indicate the channel is normal.

The LED will ﬂash Red to indicate the channel is reversed.

6. 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.

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 green

blue or red, depending on the ﬂight mode selected.

If the LED glows green in FM-0 mode or blue in FM-1/FM-2

modes, channel 6 has not been reversed correctly. Use the

directions above to reverse channel 6. If the LED ﬂashes

red, replace the ﬂight battery with a fully charged battery.
