Located on the left-hand side of the transmitter is the charging jack, which accepts only
JR
®
or Spektrum
™
style wall chargers. Please do not attempt to use any other brand of wall
charger as it may be the reverse polarity and can cause damage to your system. Only use the
JR or Spektrum type wall charger when the DX3.0 is equipped with NiMH batteries.
Warning: Charge only rechargeable batteries. Non-rechargeable batteries may burst
causing injury to persons and/or damage to property.

The DX3.0 features DSM technology and is compatible with Spektrum DSM and DSM2
surface receivers and the marine receiver.
COMPATIBLE SPEKTRUM RECEIVERS
The DX3.0 is compatible with the following receivers.
Note: The DX3.0 operates in 11ms frame rate when in fast mode and 16.5ms frame
rate when in normal mode. See page 17 for more information about frame rates.
DSM: SR300 - 3-channel Sport - SPMSR300
SR3000 - 3-channel Standard - SPM1200
SR3001 - 3-channel Pro - SPM1205
SR3300T - 3-channel with built-in telemetry - SPMSR3300T
SR3500 - 3-channel Micro Race - SPM1210
Note: The SR3000HRS (SPM1202) receiver is designed to be used with
Spektrum’s Futaba HRS compatible module system only and is not compatible
with the DX3.0.
DSM2: SR3100 - 3-channel Pro - SPMSR3100
SR3520 - 3-channel Micro Pro - SPMSR3520
Marine: MR3000 - 3-channel Marine - SPMMR3000
Please note that DSM2 and marine compatible transmitters can be identified by the following
logo located on the back of the transmitter:
Note: When using a separate NiMH receiver as a power source, the operating voltage
range is 4.8–6.0V (4–5 cells) under load.
Attention: Make sure the male and female connectors have the correct polarity (+/–)
before connecting. Be sure to orient the servo plug correctly for proper insertion.
Most electronic speed controllers are set up for BEC (Battery Elimination Circuitry) operation
and plug directly into your receiver. See Figure A for a typical setup and check your speed
controller’s manual for correct installation.
