Lost my settings :(

Post by DOG »

Hey all. I'm bumming! Some how I lost my settings to my Shuriken 180 and my TBX. My setting for my helis haven't been mess with but both of my quads settings disappeared :? . The TX batteries needed to change out. I put new ones in. Turned it on, went into select models and picked 180. I plugged in the 180 and nothing. The quad kept beeping even after it was done connecting. I unplugged the 180, went to the radio and notice that It was on my X3 settings. So I went back into select model in my TX and where it suppose to say 180, it said,"unusable model" and the TBX setting are completely gone, Like I never programmed the TBX into the radio at all. My helis settings are still their and are fine but the 2 quads aren't? Any idea what might of happen? Any idea's would be helpful because I'm clueless now and bummed out big time! :cry:

With some TX,s if the TX is left on and the batteries run out you can lose a model:)

Take a look at this DOG:) looks like it is a common fault with the DX6i and DSMX

DOG has a Spektrum DX6. It's definitely an unfortunate situation. I've had Spektrum gear for 5-6 years and I've never lost a model.

DOG....I will try to make myself available on Monday or Tuesday to meet up with you and help you set up your Shuriken again. Your other quad....I probably won't be much help because I've never set up one of those.

I'd strongly suggest that you use an SD card to backup your tx files. If you don't have an SD card for your DX6, go get one. Then, once you get your quads reprogrammed and setup, save all your model files to the SD card and remove and store your SD card. That way, if something like this happens again, simply insert the SD card and copy the files back to the DX6.

Thank you for everyone input. I appreciate that Derek if you can help me out again :oops: Touch base with me when you can. I already pick up a SD card so I wouldn't have this problem again. I remember way back when Tony mention that to me and I just plain out forgot. Thanks again :)

No worries buddy! Getting the Shuriken set up again shouldn't be a problem.
