Smart Charge™ Global Charging System
Spektrum was the first to make frequency conflicts and interference
a thing of the past. With the DX8’s new Smart Charge global charging
system, Spektrum is first to make charging hassles a thing of
the past, too.
This ingenious on-board charging system can be powered by
any 12V power supply with a standard 4mm plug. That includes
12V power supplies from other radio manufacturers AND those
that come with many household electronics. Smart Charge even
detects the chemistry of the transmitter batteries you’re using
(LiPo or Ni-MH) and automatically adjusts the charge current,
rate and cutoff.
With the transmitter power turned off, plug the included charger
into a wall outlet. Then plug the male charge plug into the
charge jack. The blue LED on the front of the transmitter should
illuminate. The charger charges at a rate of 200mA and a fully
discharged battery requires a 10–12-hour charge time.
