SPEKTRUM DX8 • RADIO INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Note: To bind an aircraft with an electronic speed controller that powers
the receiver through the throttle channel (ESC/BEC), insert the bind plug
into the BATT/BIND port in the receiver and the throttle lead into the throttle
(THRO) port. Proceed to Step #2.
2. Power the receiver. The LED on the receiver will
be flashing, indicating the
receiver is ready to be bound to the transmitter.
3. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to the desired failsafe
positions (low throttle and neutral control positions).
4. Press and hold the trainer button while powering on transmitter.
5. The system will connect within a few seconds. Once connected, the LED on the
receiver will go solid indicating connection.
6. Remove the bind plug from the BATT/BND port on the receiver. Power off the
transmitter and store the bind plug in a convenient place.
NOTICE: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind mode
the next time the power is turned on.
7. After setting up your model, rebind the system so the true low throttle and
neutral control surface positions are set.
FAILSAFES
When you bind your transmitter, you are programming the receiver with failsafe
defaults. If connection is lost between the transmitter and receiver, the receiver
immediately operates in those preprogrammed default positions. Those positions
are failsafes. The AR8000 has three failsafes: SmartSafe Failsafe, Hold Last
Command Failsafe, and Preset Failsafe.
SmartSafe Failsafe
SmartSafe Failsafe is always active in both hold last command failsafe and in
preset failsafe. SmartSafe is a safety feature on the throttle channel only that offers
the following benefits:
• Prevents electric motors from operating when the receiver only is turned on
(no signal present)
• Prevents the speed controller from arming until the throttle is moved to low
throttle position after connection is made
• Shuts off electric motor and reduces gas/glow engines to idle if signal is lost
• If throttle is at any position other than low, the ESC won’t arm
• If connection is lost in flight:
-SmartSafe sets the throttle to the position it was in during the binding
process.
how To Program
SmartSafe is automatically set when hold last command failsafe or Preset failsafe
is programmed or the system is bound. Note: It’s important to have the throttle
stick in the low position to store low throttle during binding
To Test
Confirm the failsafe setting is correct by turning off the transmitter. The throttle
should go to the preset low throttle position.
CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is restrained on the ground. If failsafe is
not set, your aircraft might advance to mid or full throttle.
Hold Last Command
If you lose connection, all channels except for throttle channel hold last given
command and the aircraft continues on its path. So, if you were turning when
connection was lost, your aircraft would continue turning.
how to Program
1. Leave the bind plug in the bind port through the entire binding process.
2. Remove bind plug only after receiver connects to transmitter
To Test
Confirm the failsafe settings are correct by turning off the transmitter. All channels
except for the throttle should hold the last command.
CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is restrained on the ground. If failsafe
is not set, your aircraft might advance to mid or full throttle.
Preset Failsafe
If the signal is lost, all channels are driven to their failsafe position set during
binding.
Preset Failsafe is ideal for sailplanes, as spoliers can be deployed during loss of
signal, preventing a flyaway.
how To Program
1. Insert the bind plug and power on the receiver.
2. When the receiver LEDs blink indicating bind mode, remove bind plug
before binding the transmitter to the receiver.
3. LED lights will continue to blink.
4. Move transmitter’s control sticks and switches to the desired Preset Failsafe
positions then turn it on in bind mode.
5. The system should connect in less than 15 seconds.
NOTICE: Failsafe features vary according to receiver, so if using a receiver other
than the AR8000, consult your receiver’s instructions for the failsafes that apply.
Before flight, ALWAYS confirm your binding is good and failsafe is set. To do
this, make sure the system is connected, turn your transmitter off. Confirm that
low-throttle is active.
CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is restrained on the ground. If failsafe is
not set, your aircraft might advance to mid or full throttle.

SPEKTRUM DX8 • RADIO INSTRUCTION MANUAL
To Access the Trim Step Function
Press and hold the roller while turning on the transmitter. When System Setup
appears on the screen, release the roller. The DX8 is now in System Setup Mode.
Rotate the roller to highlight Trim Setup then press to access the function.
The following screen appears:
Highlight the desired Trim value then press the roller to access. Rotate the roller to
change to the desired trim value. Press to accept. Repeat to adjust all trim steps.
To Access the Common or Flight Mode Trims
Rotate the roller to highlight Trim Type and press to access.
Select F-Mode (each flight mode has its own trims) or Common (trim are always
common regardless of flight mode).
Common Trim - When common trim is selected, trim values are common in all
flight modes.
F-Mode Trim - When F-Mode is selected, each flight mode including hold has its
own trims that are automatically active when that flight mode is selected.
MODEL RESET
Model Reset is typically used to clear the programming for a model you will no
longer be flying. Model Reset resets the programming for the selected model
to factory defaults. No other model memories will be affected. When a model’s
memory is reset all programming for that model is permanently deleted and
cannot be recovered.
To Access the Model Reset Function
Press and hold the roller while turning on the transmitter. When System Setup
appears on the screen, release the roller. The DX8 is now in System Setup Mode.
Rotate the roller to highlight Model Reset then press to access the function.
The following screen appears:
Verify that the model displayed on this screen is the model you wish to reset. If
not then see page 14 Model Select to access the desired model. Rotate the roller
to highlight Reset and then press to access the Confirm Reset screen.
Highlight YES If you’re sure you want to reset this model to factory default
settings, press the roller. The screen will return to the main screen.
MODEL COPY
The Model Copy function copies the currently selected model’s programming of
another model memory. Thirty model memories are available. Some of the more
common uses of the Model Copy function include:
• Moving the order of models around in model memory so they can be organized
by category, type, etc. Note: You will need to re-bind after moving models.
• Experimenting with the programming for an aircraft while preserving a copy
of the original setup. Note: If you want to use the model copy function to try
two slightly different setups with the same model you will need to rebind the
receiver each time you switch between model memories.
• Copying the programming for an existing model over to a new model that
is similar. Many pilots find this to be a good way to provide more accurate
baseline programming for the new model. For example Vibe 50 w/120CCPM
mixing, gyro and governor programming provides a good base programming
for any other nitro powered 120CCPM mixing helicopter. An Extra 300 with
dual aileron and elevator servos that is properly programmed with dual flap and
dual elevator mixing in Wing Type provides good foundational programming
for another aerobatic airplane with the same basic control system.
Important: The model memory you are copying to will be over-written by the
copied programming, permanently deleting any programming that may already exist.
