DX8 Un-commanded Servo Movement Service Bulletin
Recently, the Horizon Hobby Service Center has received a small number of reports from customers claiming un-commanded servo movements and loss of RF link during the activation of the vibrator motor in some DX8s from the initial shipment.
Horizon requests that all DX8 customers with the Product ID (PID) HS008X or HS009X found in the battery compartment carefully check their radios to determine if their transmitter has this issue prior to flying.
Transmitters with a PID other than HS008X or HS009X are not affected by this bulletin.
If you have a DX8 with the affected PID, please perform the following test.
Step 1: If your model is electric, unplug motor leads from ESC for safety.
Step 2: In the function list, select Timer Screen and set a 0:10s Count Down timer to Tone/Vibe.
Step 3: With model powered on and connection established, activate timer and observe servos for un-commanded movement and receiver for loss of RF link.
Should you find that your transmitter is affected by this issue, please contact your nearest Spektrum authorized service center to arrange for a free upgrade to your DX8 performed by a Horizon Hobby authorized Technician.

As with all RC aircraft, please check your transmitter and equipment prior to each flight.
Horizon Hobby and the Spektrum team apologize for this inconvenience.
per chi non ne fosse al corrente, meglio controllare.
se il codice corrisponde (come il mio) è meglio fare ripetute prove a terra senza motore.
alla radio verrà messo un condensatore sul vibratore e credo ritarato il modulo rf.
