CHARGING THE LITHIUM ION BATTERY PACK
For optimum charging results, the built-in charger requires a USB
power supply capable of at least 2-3A output. Using a power supply
with a lower output will result in very long charge times or the
transmitter not charging if it is powered on while attempting to charge.
The first time the transmitter is charged, the charge time may be
2-3 hours. Charge the transmitter when the low battery alarm
sounds. See the System Settings section for information on setting
the low battery alarm level.
Always charge the transmitter on a heat-resistant surface.
CAUTION: Never change the low voltage limit for Li-Ion
batteries below 3.3V. Doing so could over-discharge the
battery and damage both battery and transmitter.
CAUTION: Never leave a charging battery unattended.
CAUTION: Never charge the battery outside of the
transmitter. Charging the battery outside of the
transmitter may interfere with the battery monitoring system,
which can give false low battery warnings.
1. Connect a 2-3A USB power supply (not included) to an AC
outlet.
2. Connect the included USB-C charging cable to the power supply.
3. Insert the USB-C charging cable in the USB-C port on the back
of the transmitter.
4. The LED and LED strips will glow green while charging. A
press of the power button will show the battery charge icon on
the display.
5. Charging is complete when the LED and LED strips go off
and the button is pressed and the battery capacity icon on
the screen shows full. Disconnect the USB cable from the
transmitter once charging is complete.
Disconnect the power supply from the power outlet.
POWERING THE NX7e ON AND OFF
1. Press and hold the power button for several seconds to turn
ON the NX7e.
2. Release the power button when the display powers on.
3. Press and hold the power button to power OFF the NX7e.
4. Release the power button when the system begins to power
off.

Trainer
All options related to programming and using the trainer functions are
controlled with the Trainer menu.
Three options are available in the trainer menu:
• Wired Trainer
• Wireless Trainer
IMPORTANT: The wireless trainer options are only available
in the Trainer menu when the optional SRXL2 DSMX remote
receiver, SPM9747 (not included), is connected to the
transmitter.
Wired Trainer and Wireless Trainer have similar options when
connecting two transmitters for the purpose of training a student
pilot. In addition, an advanced menu for FPV pilots in both the
Wired and Wireless Trainer menus provides specialized functions
needed specifically for FPV head tracking applications.
Wireless Trainer
The NX7e transmitter is capable of operating wirelessly as the
instructor transmitter. A remote receiver (SPM9747 optional, not
included) is required to add this function and menus.
Wireless Trainer enables instructors and students to work together
without any cables connecting the transmitters. Wireless Trainer
supports up to 7 channels of input depending on the number
of channels available from the student transmitter or wireless
headtracker. It is only necessary to put the instructor transmitter
into the special wireless trainer bind mode. The student transmitter
uses the normal binding process. Wireless Trainer modes are
compatible with any Spektrum DSMX or DSM2 transmitter,
Spektrum Focal®Headsets, and the small MLP4 and MLP6
transmitters from Horizon Hobby RTF models which include
Spektrum technology.
When wireless trainer mode is selected, a drop down menu will
appear with the following options:
Programmable Instructor
This training mode designates the NX7e as the instructor and
requires the student transmitter to be fully configured, including
reversing, travel, mixes, etc. This mode is helpful when the student
has the full model configuration complete.
Pilot Link Instructor
This training mode designates the NX7e as the instructor and
requires the student transmitter to have no settings applied, all of
the reverse settings to normal and all travel settings at 100%. This
option is intended to make it as simple as possible to connect any
student transmitter to any airplane.
FPV
This mode is available for connecting a head tracking system
to the NX7e for FPV use. This option is covered further in the
Headtracking FPV Setup section.
Wired Trainer
Wired Trainer enables a student and instructor to work together by
physically connecting two transmitters together with a cable.
The optional Spektrum wired trainer adaptor (SPMA3091, not
included) and trainer cable (SPM6805, not included) are required
for wired trainer operation. The wired trainer adaptor connects
to the serial port on the back of the transmitter. The trainer cable
plugs into the adaptor.
Wired trainer supports up to 8 input channels with PPM based
trainer systems connected. If the NX7e is used with a wired
connection, the correct wired trainer option must be selected in
the trainer menu and the student mode started or the wired trainer
connection will not work.
When Wired Trainer mode is selected, a menu will appear. Select
from the following trainer options:
Standard Instructor
This training mode designates the NX7e as the instructor, and
requires the student transmitter to be fully configured, including
reversing, travel, mixes, etc. This mode is helpful when the student
has the full model configuration complete.
Pilot Link Instructor
This training mode designates the NX7e as the instructor, and
requires the student transmitter to have no settings applied, all of
the reverse settings to normal and all travel settings at 100%. This
option is intended to make it as simple as possible to connect any
student transmitter to any airplane.
FPV
This mode is available for connecting a head tracking system to
the NX7e for FPV use. See the Headtracking FPV Setup section for
more information.
P-Link Student
This training mode designates the NX7e as the student transmitter.
Use this option if the instructor transmitter is set up with Wired Pilot
Link Instructor. A Start Student Mode button appears, which activates
and deactivates wired trainer student capabilities. In this mode, the
NX7e should be left on a default ACRO model with no changes.
Normal Student
This training mode designates the NX7e as the student transmitter.
