Subject: Spektrum DX6i Recall Notice
The Spektrum Signal
*February 23, 2009*
*** *Product Recall: Spektrum DX6i transmitters with date codes 807E,
808E, 809E, 810E, 811E, 812E, and 901E* ***
*** Attention DX6i Users ***
On January 30, 2009, Horizon Hobby, Inc. issued a service bulletin
<http://publications.horizonhobby.com/t/411074/127594/10762/0/> for
Spektrum DX6i transmitters due to a concern of potential issues with
stick potentiometers. Consumers were strongly advised to conduct a
test to see if symptoms of these potential issues were present.
After closely monitoring the situation, Horizon has determined that we
need to physically inspect all DX6i transmitters with date codes
containing 807E, 808E, 809E, 810E, 811E, 812E, and 901E, including
those ending in "US", "UK", or "DE". The date code will be found
inside the battery compartment.
*_If your DX6i has one of these date codes_*
•Stop using your transmitter.
•Click here

to request a shipping call tag to return your DX6i to Horizon.
•You may also e-mail the Horizon Hobby Product Support team
productsupport at horizonhobby.com to request a shipping call tag; please
put "DX6i Transmitter Recall" in the subject line and include your
shipping address, daytime phone number, and the date code from your
DX6i.
•If you have any questions, you can call us at 877-504-0233.
•Only the transmitter needs to be returned. Please remove your
batteries prior to shipping.
•Horizon will pay for all ground shipping within the United
States and Canada.
•Each transmitter will be inspected for the issue, repaired or
replaced if necessary, and returned as soon as possible. We will work
as quickly as possible, but we ask for your patience.
•Due to the possibility of replacement, please document for your
own records any model programs prior to shipping.
•Inspected, repaired, or replaced DX6i transmitters will have
date codes ending in "CM", "LH", "HA", or "X". No further action will
be needed on transmitters with those suffixes.
•Consumers outside the US and Canada should contact their local
retailer or distributor. International distributors may be found here
<http://publications.horizonhobby.com/t/411074/127594/10565/0/>.
*_If your DX6i does not have the listed date code_*
•DX6i owners whose transmitters do not have the above date codes
are still advised to follow the January 30th service bulletin
<http://publications.horizonhobby.com/t/411074/127594/10762/0/>.
•As with all R/C aircraft, please check your controls prior to
each flight.
