BINDING

the GUID (Globally Unique Identifi er) code of a single specifi c 
transmitter. You must bind the receiver to your transmitter before 
it will operate. To put the transmitter in bind mode, press the Bind 
Button while powering on the transmitter

Double-sided tape or foam can be used to secure the receiver in place.

Spektrum AR620 receiver included with the DX6e transmitter and receiver 
combination is a full range receiver designed for any 6 channel airplane 
(not included with transmitter only version).
The AR620 offers:

• Antenna-less design
• End-pin layout for cleaner installation
• Large bind-button eliminates the need for a separate bind plug
• Integrated fl ight log and receiver voltage telemetry with fl y-by 

range when used with a telemetry capable Spektrum transmit-
ter

• Two options for failsafe programming, SmartSafe

 + Hold Last 

or Preset failsafe

Preset failsafe

Preset failsafe is ideal for sailplanes, allowing the aircraft to 
automatically dethermalize if the signal is lost. With preset failsafe, 
all channels go to their preset failsafe positions if the signal is lost, 
preventing a fl yaway. When the receiver detects signal from the 
transmitter, normal aircraft operation resumes.

Binding the AR620 Receiver

The failsafe programming option is set during the binding process. 

In the unlikely event the radio link is lost during use, the receiver 
will drive all channels to their programmed failsafe positions.

Failsafe Programming Options:

SmartSafe

 + Hold Last failsafe

If loss of signal occurs, SmartSafe

 technology moves the throttle 

channel to its preset failsafe position (low throttle) that was set during 
binding. All other channels hold their last position. 
When the receiver detects signal from the transmitter, normal aircraft 
operation resumes.
