The battery plugs into the switch the switch plugs into the slot marked 6/B (#6 or Batt) The voltmeter can go into #5. This assumes you are using a single servo or two servos off a Y harnes on chanel 1.
IF you are programming two separate aileron servos, one goes on #1 and the other goes in #6. Plug a Y harnes into 5 and plug both the switch and the voltmeter in to the two ends of the Y harnes.

You might want to get that receiver checked out if it was in a crash that hard. You could have a cracked circuit board or any number of other issues.

RE: reciever setup
I noticed you said you are working on a big stik 40. the R156F is a parkflyer RX with a range of about 500 feet (as per Futaba)
On a .40 sized model i would reccomend a full range reciever like the Futaba FP148DF.
