Always charge the transmitter on a heat-resistant surface. charging: 1. Connect the power supply to a power outlet using the appropriate adapter and the Micro USB cable to the charge port on the transmitter as shown. 2. A Blue LED will flash while charging. Also a fast press of the power switch will bring the Charge Battery icon to the color touch screen display. 3. When the system is powered ON, charging is complete when the blue flashing LED stops. Disconnect the USB cable once charging is complete and disconnect the power supply from the power outlet. cauTion: Never leave a charging battery unattended. cauTion: Never change the low voltage limit for Li-Ion batteries below 3.3V. Doing so could over-discharge the battery and damage both battery and transmitter. cauTion: Never charge the battery outside of the transmitter due to the battery monitoring system not recognizing the charge of the battery when it is not charged inside the transmitter. This can cause the system to give false low battery warnings. •�Always ensure all batteries have been properly charged prior to using the model. •�Always check all servos and their connections prior to each run. •�Never operate your model near spectators, parking areas or any other area that could result in injury to people or damage of property. •�Never operate your model during adverse weather conditions.

To power down the transmitter, push and hold the Power button for several seconds until the Power Off / Reboot prompt shows on the screen. Press Power Off to shutdown. Tip Pressing the Power button once will put the display to sleep but the radio will continue to transmit normally. Press the power button again to wake up the screen. Double pressing the Power button will open a window allowing you to select RF On/Off, LCD On/Off, or press and hold to put both RF and LCD into sleep mode. It is recommended you use the sleep mode rather than turning the system Off on flying days. support Videos: For helpful videos on programing the Spektrum™ iX12 transmitter and other Spektrum Transmitters go to https://www.spektrumrc.com/ age recommendation: not for children under 14.
