AUX 3/
BATT*
*IMPORTANT: AUX 3 on the
SR515 shares the servo port
with the battery. A Y harness
(SPMA3008) is required on the
AUX 3 port to use all 5 channels
with a receiver battery.
WARNING: Do not kink,
cut or damage the
antenna wire. The antenna is
made of a coaxial wire; if the
outer sheath becomes
damaged, the receiver will not
work properly. If the antenna is
damaged in any way, replace
the antenna before attempting
to use the receiver.
RECEIVER ANTENNA
The SR515 receiver features a coaxial antenna design for easy
installation in almost any model. Think of the last 1 inch (32mm)
on the tip of the antenna as the active portion of the antenna,
the coaxial portion leading up to it is just an extension. Install the
antenna so the active portion is positioned as high as possible in
the vehicle, and not “in the shadow” of any carbon fi ber or metal.
Standard Mode
If loss of signal occurs,
SmartSafe™ technology
moves the throttle channel to its
designated failsafe position (low
throttle) that was set during binding.
All other channels hold their last
position. When the receiver detects
signal from the transmitter, normal
operation resumes.
Gas Mode
Preset failsafe is ideal for most
nitro/gas vehicles. With preset
failsafe, all channels go to their
preset failsafe positions if the
signal is lost, preventing an
out of control situation. When
the receiver detects signal
from the transmitter, normal
operation resumes.

3 Release Button after RX goes into Bind Mode (fl ashing LED)
4 Place transmitter in Bind Mode and fi nish Binding
FAILSAFE
Failsafe position is set during binding. In the unlikely event
that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will drive all
channels to its pre-programmed failsafe position.

Antenna Tube Not
Included. Tube size
may vary, test for
proper fi t.
BINDING
The SR515 receivers must be bound to the transmitter before
they will operate. Binding is the process of teaching the receiver
the specifi c code of the transmitter so it will only connect to that
specifi c transmitter.
RECEIVER COMPATIBILITY
The SR515 receiver is compatible with Spektrum DSM2® and
DSMR® radio control surface systems. Install the receiver in the
position recommended by the vehicle’s manufacturer. Doublesided tape or foam may be used to secure the receiver in place.
The case of the receiver can accept an antenna tube directly, making
optimal antenna placement easy (antenna tube not included).

• Different profi les to fi ne tune the touch interface are available under Settings; Touch.
NAVIGATION
Tip: The tick mark below shows the
current switch position.
Use the slide button and press OK to turn
the selected box black, indicating that the
value or condition will act on that position.
AUTO SWITCH SELECT
To easily select a switch in a function, such as a program mix,
use the slide button to highlight the switch selection box, and
press OK. The box around the switch should now fl ash. To select
a switch, toggle the switch you wish to select. Verify the switch
selection is now displayed as desired. When correct, press OK to
select this switch and complete the switch selection.
SWITCH SELECTION TIP
If the system won’t allow INHIBIT to be changed, all switches are
assigned to a different function. Un-assign a switch from another
function to free it up for selection.
The DX5 Rugged does not allow switch assignments to be over-
loaded, there is only one switch to one function. Once a switch is
confi gured for a function, the switch assignment for that function
must be disabled for the switch to be used for something else.
INDIVIDUAL DIRECTION ADJUSTMENTS
In some instances, you may fi nd it necessary to independently
adjust the control directions; for example, if you want more travel
for left steering than right steering, perform the following steps:
1. Slide to the value you wish to change and press OK
2. When both directions are selected, move the control (steer-
ing or throttle) toward the control direction you wish to
change. The selection box moves to the desired direction.
You do not need to hold the control in the desired direction.
3. To change the opposite direction, simply move the control
in that direction.
4. Press OK to save the selection.
To Enter, Select or
Exit a selection.
