Seems a few batches of this radio have defective stick potentiometers which fail unexpectedly during flight.

I think mine also same ... but I check this morning... no issue with the monitor status.

Visit Spektrum site, there is a video show you how to do it if you are not sure. It has a bad unit as an example so you know how to determine what is good and bad for your set.

Product Recall: Spektrum DX6i transmitters with date codes 807E, 808E, 809E, 810E, 811E, 812E, and 901EAttention DX6i UsersOn January 30, 2009, Horizon Hobby, Inc. issued a service bulletin 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.
