Spektrum AR6100e Receiver
AR6100e DSM2 ML 6-Channel Receiver End Pin, Air
At only 4.4 grams and 19.0 x 40.0 x 9.0mm (WxLxH), the AR6100E is the ultimate 2.4GHz receiver for most any small electric model from mini profile foamies to 400 class helis. Because it uses advanced DSM2™ technology, it is only compatible with DSM2 aircraft radio and module systems. It also boasts a wide input range that allows it to operate with 3.5- to 9.6-volt electrical systems.

AR6100E Binding Instructions
The AR6100E receiver is designed for parkflyer aircraft only. This includes all types of compact electric airplanes as well as mini and micro helicopters. While the AR6100E receiver has more than adequate range for parkflyer aircraft, it is imperative that it not be used in larger aircraft that could exceed its operational range.

IMPORTANT: The AR6100E features DSM2™ second-generation Spektrum technology and is not compatible with the DX6 parkflyer radio. The AR6100E is only compatible with Spektrum aircraft transmitters that support DSM2 technology, like the DX6i & DX7.
Binding
Before using the AR6100E, it’s necessary to bind the receiver to the desired transmitter (or specific model memory if ModelMatch™ is available).
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the specific transmitter you wish to use. During binding, the receiver learns the specific transmitter’s code (GUID) and, when bound, the receiver will only respond to its bound transmitter, ignoring all other types of interfering signals. During binding the fail-safe positions are stored (see SmartSafe™ below).
Note: Receivers can be re-bound at any time, allowing them to be used with other transmitters or to store different fail-safe positions.
How to Bind
With the power off, plug the bind plug into the BATT port. Power on the receiver. If the receiver is installed in an electric aircraft, turn on the speed controller to power up the receiver. If the receiver is going to be powered by a separate battery, plug the battery into any unused port. The amber light will blink, indicating the AR6100E is in bind mode.
Position the transmitter’s control sticks and switches in the desired fail-safe positions (normally low throttle and all other controls at neutral).
POWER ON
Press and hold the bind button on the transmitter while turning on the transmitter. The button will flash for several seconds, then the LED on the transmitter and receiver will remain solid on, indicating a successful bind.
IMPORTANT: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from rebinding the next time the power is turned on.
ModelMatch
Some Spektrum transmitters offer a patented feature called ModelMatch. ModelMatch prevents the possibility of operating a model using the wrong model memory, potentially preventing a crash. With ModelMatch each model memory has its own unique code (GUID) and during the binding process the code is programmed into the receiver. Later, when the system is turned on, the receiver will only connect to the transmitter if the corresponding model memory is programmed on the screen.
Note: If at any time you turn on the system and it fails to connect, check to be sure the correct model memory is selected in the transmitter.
SmartSafe
The AR6100E features SmartSafe fail-safe programming. SmartSafe prevents accidental motor operation before the system connects and, in the unlikely event of signal loss, SmartSafe drives the throttle to a preset (off) position. With SmartSafe, if the receiver is turned on before the transmitter, all channels but throttle will go to their fail-safe position stored during binding, while the throttle channel will not generate a pulse so as to not arm the electronic speed control. After the system is connected, if loss of signal occurs, the throttle will be driven to a preset fail-safe position, normally low throttle (set during binding) while all other channels will hold their last known position.

Range Check
Before each flying session and especially with a new model, it is important to perform a range check. Follow the procedures as outlined in the radio instruction manual.
