For a Spektrum radio and an AR500 receiver, the DX5e is the greatest value in RC, putting 2.4GHz DSM control in your hands for less than ever before.

Here are some articles we think will be of interest to you as you consider Horizon Hobby products. We'll add new relevant articles as they become available.
With power applied to the receiver it is looking for a signal. If the transmitter is not on it will pick up various stray radio signals(RF/noise) in your area and cause servos to appear erratic.
The cardinal rules for RC:
1. When starting, turn on the transmitter 1st and receiver 2nd.
2. When finished, turn off the receiver 1st and transmitter last.
Absolutey not. Most cellular phones operate in 900Mhz (and above) and should have no effect on your radio's transmission or programming.
Any fuel residue can be removed using a small amount of isopropyl alcohol and a cloth. It will not affect the plastic of your transmitter. Always remove raw fuel immediately from your transmitter.
When the transmitter is in close proximity to the receiver the modulated signal can be overdriven. This condition is referred to as "swamping." By collapsing the antenna and stepping away from the model, you should see this condition dissipate.
Make sure to perform a proper range check and then extend the antenna before operating the model.
When storing your TX for an extended period of time, make sure it is wiped clean from fuel or other residue. Disconnect the battery from the transmitter and store the radio in a cool, dry place.
This can happen for several reasons.
To fix:
A. Check that the travel adjust is not set at zero or low value.
B. Try switching to another model memory that hasn't been programmed and re-check to see if control has returned.
C. Check to see if servo is properly connected and/or try another servo.
We recommend 1 amp or less. The transmitter can handle up to 2 amps for short periods of time. For the best results, please use the supplied JR wall charger.
1. Damaged charge plug.
2. Polarity damage.
3. Static electricity on the charge plug.
4. Charge rate set too high
The most common reasons for reverse polarity:
1. Charger with improper connection. See your JR Radio Manual
2. Broken battery connector.
3. Altered battery leads
Analog trim transmitters use a potentiometer to vary a voltage for trim adjustment. Digital trim transmitters have micro-switches to step trim adjustment.
Yes, though it is sending it's signal to the master transmitter and not transmitting on its own, the slave requires power for its circuitry that is not supplied by the master.
The fuse is a device to protect against overcurrent. It's not a polarized component affected by direction of current flow.
FM (Frequency Modulation) uses an analog sine wave to carry data between the transmitter and the receiver. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) uses digital encoding to transfer information between the transmitter and the receiver.
Manufacture defects are the only issues covered under warranty. Use, abuse, reverse polarity, stripped gears, etc. are not covered.
