Spektrum’s Digital Spectrum Modulation (DSM) system offers the ultimate in radio
link security. No longer do you have to worry about transmitters on your frequency
unintentionally being turned on, waiting for the frequency clip to practice or interference
caused from noisy motors, speed controllers or other interfering sources. The DSM system
utilizes Digital Spread Spectrum technology providing an impenetrable radio link.
Operating within the ultra high frequency 2.4GHz worldwide ISM band, each individual
module is programmed at the factory with its own unique serial code called GUID
(Globally Unique Identification code). Once a receiver is programmed to a specific module
(called binding), the receiver will only recognize that module, ignoring signals from any
other sources. And with over 4 billion possible GUID codes, it’s virtually impossible for a
receiver to listen to anything other than its bound transmitter.
The DSM system is telemetry-ready for optional telemetry modules (purchased separately).
Engine temperature, speed, rpm, signal strength, battery voltage and even lap times are
displayed in real time via Spektrum’s handheld display or via a PC. Telemetry options will
be updated periodically to include a wide variety of popular functions.
Introduction

• Eliminates the possibility of interference from an unintentional turn-on
• Impervious to model-generated RF interference (like noisy motors, speed controllers,
metal-to-metal noise, etc.)
• Robust interference from any outside sources like other transmitters, cell phones,
pagers, WiFi systems, etc.
• No more waiting for an open frequency
• Eliminates the need for a frequency board and frequency clips
• Fail-safe drives the servos to a preset position (usually full brakes) in the unlikely
event of signal loss
• No need to impound transmitters at events
• The DSM system is available for all popular module-based 3-channel transmitters
• 2.4GHz worldwide band allows international use
• Short 8.5" receiver antenna is easy to mount
• Telemetry-ready— optional modules allow real time monitoring of head temperature, rpm,
speed, battery voltage, lap times, etc.
• No maintenance or tuning required (always stays in tune)
• No need for crystals
• Up to 79 users can simultaneously operate DSM systems with no interference
• FCC, UKCC, ROAR, NORCCA and ETSI approved

The DSM system operates in the 2.4GHz band (that’s 2400MHz). This high frequency
offers a significant advantage as it’s well out of the range of model-generated radio
interference (like motor and ESC noise). All the complex issues that now exist using 27
and 75MHz radios with model-generated interfering noise are eliminated with this system.
The DSM system uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum modulation to generate a
wide signal on a single frequency. The FCC requires that these systems be “smart”–
incorporating collision avoidance such that when a system is turned on, it scans the
2.4GHz band and selects a channel that is not being used, then begins transmitting on
that unused channel. 79 channels are available and the odds of one DSS spread spectrum
system interfering with another are astronomically remote. The 2.4GHz spectrum has a
capacity of 79 channels. In the unlikely event that the spectrum is full, the 80th system will
not connect or cause any interference, going into hold scan until a channel is free.

During first installation, the receiver(s) must be bound to the transmitter module. Binding
is necessary to program the receiver(s) to distinguish its corresponding transmitter from
others. Also fail-safe positions are transferred from the transmitter to the receiver during
binding. See binding below for more details.
1. Make sure that the transmitter is switched off.
2. Remove the
current RF
module from
the transmitter.
3. Carefully insert
the DSM module
noting the
orientation of the
connector pins.

5. If the transmitter is PPM and PCM compatible, make sure the transmitter is programmed
to PPM modulation mode. If necessary, see the instructions included with your radio
system for details.
Note: When using the Futaba 3PK, it’s necessary to use
the standard PPM mode and not the HRS mode.
4. Rotate and angle
the antenna on
the module to
vertical.

1. Using double-
sided foam tape,
mount the receiver
in the position
recommended
in your vehicle’s
instructions.
2. At 8.5 inches in length, the receiver antenna is significantly shorter than
conventional antennas. The receiver has provisions that allow the antenna to exit
the top of the receiver or at the end of the receiver. To switch antenna positions, it's
necessary to open the case to change the antenna exit position. Like all antennas,
it’s important to mount the antenna vertically. In most cases the antenna can be
mounted inside the body with no loss of range. Mount the receiver antenna as
recommended by the manufacturer of the vehicle, however, it may be necessary
to trim the plastic antenna tube (included with your vehicle) to allow the antenna to
extend at least 1/2" past the tip of the tube.

Receiver

Note: If desired, the antenna can be shortened (cut)
to exactly 3.6" with negligible loss of range and in some
applications the short 3.6" length will make installation easier.
3. Connect the servo and ESC
leads per the chart below. The
connections are compatible with
Airtronics Z, JR®, Futaba, Hitec,
and KO servos.

the outside edge of the receiver case.

It’s necessary to program the receiver to a specific module so that the receiver will only
recognize that module, ignoring signals from any other sources. If the receiver is not
bound to a module, the system will not operate. Also during the binding process the servo
fail-safe positions are set.
It is only necessary to bind the receiver to the module during first installation and is
recommended when the receiver is moved from one vehicle to another. Receivers can
be re-bound to the same module or to other modules an infinite number of times. Also an
unlimited number of receivers can be bound to a single transmitter module, common when
using one transmitter to operate several models.
1. Make sure the transmitter and receiver are turned off.
2. With the receiver off, press and hold the bind button on
the receiver.
3. Turn on the receiver while holding the bind button.
4. Release the bind button when the LED flashes green.

5. With the transmitter off, place the transmitter sticks and auxiliary channels in their
desired fail-safe positions, normally brake and straight ahead steering.
6. Press and hold the bind button on the
transmitter module.
7. Turn on the transmitter while holding
the bind button.
8. Release the bind button after the green
LED flashes.
Observe that after several seconds the LED on the receiver and the LED on the
transmitter will quit flashing and remain solid, indicating that the binding process
was successful. Once binding is complete, the system will automatically connect.
Only bound receivers and modules can connect. During power-up, the transmitter
scans for a free channel while the receiver scans for its bound transmitter. During
scanning, the LEDs on both transmitter and receiver flash rapidly. After sucessful
binding is achieved, the LED remains on continuously.
Binding Process
(continued)
13
In the unlikely event that the link is lost during use, the receiver will drive the servos to
their fail-safe positions that were preset during the binding process. If the receiver is
turned on prior to turning on the transmitter, the receiver will enter the fail-safe mode
driving the servos to their preset fail-safe position. When the transmitter is turned on,
normal control is resumed.
Note: The fail-safe positions can be checked by turning the power
off on the transmitter. The green LED on the reveiver will go out and
the servo/ESC will be driven to their stored fail-safe positions.
