not go solid when it is powered up and the transmitter is on, then
‘Binding’ has failed, so begin the matching process again.
Remember
if this is the first time you have set up the radio in
your model, the steering and throttle will need correctly adjusted
neutral positions before you will have proper control, and the
throttle failsafe position should also be set before your first run.
13) RECEIVER FAILSAFE OPERATION.
This Etronix receiver incorporates a digital protection system
known as a failsafe. If the model goes beyond the usable range,
or the signal is interrupted, the failsafe will automatically set the
throttle (channel 2) to a preset position so long as power is still
supplied to it.
Set up the failsafe before first use, by turning on the transmitter,
then supplying power to the receiver. A pointer is supplied (on the
bind Plug) which can be used to hold down the failsafe button on
the receiver for three seconds until the red LED flashes several
times to indicate successful setting of the failsafe position. Now,
wherever the throttle channel was positioned, will be the throttle
servo failsafe set point.
To test the failsafe, hold the model clear of the ground and apply
a little throttle before turning the transmitter off. Within a second,
the throttle servo (or speed controller) should have repositioned
to the failsafe position, which is typically throttle neutral position
so the vehicle just rolls safely to a halt if the signal is lost.
Note:- if the receiver is re-matched to the transmitter for any
reason (See ‘Binding’ as above) the failsafe position is lost so it
will need to be reset again.
Thank you for choosing Etronix, used properly and
observing the information in this manual we believe the
Pulse EX2 Sport will achieve a strong connection with your
model, utilising all the benefits of crystal free 2.4GHz
technology for exceptional control and interference free
operation.

With the power on you can release the bind button once the
green LED begins to flash to indicate the “Bind” process has
initiated.
Unless a battery powered model using an
ESC with BEC, a receiver pack should be
plugged into the VCC socket via a
suitable power switch, making sure to
check for correct polarity.
To ‘Bind’ the receiver to the transmitter
the supplied Bind Plug should be
installed channel 3/bind socket before
power is applied. The red LED should
begin to flash to indicate the ‘Bind’
process has begun, and go solid red
once ‘Bind’ is complete. Now remove the
‘Bind’ plug and restart the power up
procedure.
Once the ‘Bind’ process is complete, the
throttle failsafe position can be set by
pressing the button using the pointer
provided.
