If your DX6i transmitter has the following Product Identification Codes: HE906X and HE907X then please read the following advisory.
Product Identification (PID) codes may be found on the inside of the battery compartment of the DX6i transmitter.

Spektrum centers in the US, UK, and Germany have received several reports of short circuits occurring in the DX6i, melting some interior components. The cause for this issue is an incorrect trainer jack used in the assembly. Use of these incorrect trainer jacks by either a buddy cable or a flight simulator cable can create a short circuit, causing energy from batteries to be released in the form of heat inside the transmitter, melting interior components and generating smoke. Our investigation shows that only a small percentage of the transmitters are affected, and the situation has now been corrected at the factory, but all Australian delivered transmitters (N12891) with these two PIDs should be returned to OMP for inspection and, if needed, repaired. Even if you do not currently use or plan to use your trainer jack, please return the transmitter for inspection.
Please complete the service form Service Return Form. Customers with Australian delivered DX6i’s (N12891) should contact their local Spektrum dealer for further return delivery information.
Australian consumers can follow this link (www.omp.com.au). Any transmitters with PID other than HA906X or HA907X are not affected by this bulletin and do not need their trainer jacks inspected. If you have any questions, please call our Product Support group at 08 8186 0899.
We apologize for this inconvenience. While there is no evidence of any fire hazard associated with the melting, Horizon, Spektrum RC, and OMP assumes no risk for any consumer failing to act upon this service advisory.
