Installing the Transmitter Batteries
Your Spektrum DX5e comes prebound to 
the aircraft.
Remove the battery cover, install the four included batteries 
(noting proper polarity) and reinstall the 
battery cover.
Low Battery Alarm
When the battery voltage drops below 4.7 volts, an alarm 
sounds and the voltage LEDs flash. The batteries must be 
replaced immediately. If this happens while flying, land 
your aircraft as soon and as safely as possible.
CAUTION: If using rechargeable batteries, charge 
only rechargeable batteries. Charging non-rechargeable 
batteries may cause the batteries to burst, resulting in 
injury to persons and/or damage to property.
