Spektrum AR6100ML Instructions
Note: The AR6100ML receiver is designed for parkflyer aircraft only. This
includes all types of compact electric airplanes as well as mini and micro
helicopters. While the AR6100ML 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 AR6100 features DSM®2 second-generation
Spektrum® technology and is not compatible with the DX6 parkflyer
radio. The AR6100ML is only compatible with Spektrum aircraft
transmitters that support DSM2 technology, like the DX7.
Binding
Before using the AR6100, it’s necessary to bind the receiver to the desired
transmitter (or specific model memory if Model Match™ 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 AR6100 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
Press and hold the bind button on the back of 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.

Model Match
Some Spektrum transmitters (such as the DX7) offer a patented feature called
Model Match™. Model Match prevents the possibility of operating a model using
the wrong model memory, potentially preventing a crash. With Model Match
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 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
Your AR6100ML 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.
