Spektrum DX6i Stick Pot Service Bulletin

     DX6i owners are advised: our service center has a concern of potentially bad stick potentiometers, which can be identified with this easy process:

     1. Turn on your transmitter and select the servo monitor display.
     2. Smoothly move the sticks in each axis, carefully watching the commanded position on the monitor.
     3. The monitor should show smooth movement tracking with the input. If the monitor "jumps" or hesitates, please send your system in for service using the Web address below.

     Radios with date codes of 809E, 810E, 811E, and 812E should be carefully checked. If your radio does not have a date code, the test is still advisable. And please, as is common, check your controls before flight.
     We apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.

     Customers outside of the US and Canada should perform the test and then contact their local retailer or local Spektrum distributor. Distributors may be found at www.spektrumrc.com/StoreLocator/Default
