Transmitter and Receiver Binding
Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize
the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. Your
DX4e transmitter comes pre-bound to the aircraft, so binding should not be nec
-
essary. Should you need to bind the aircraft and transmitter in the future, please
follow these steps.
First Flight Preparation
• Remove and inspect contents
• Charge flight battery
• Read this instruction manual thoroughly
• Install the flight battery in the aircraft (once it has been fully charged)
• Bind aircraft to your transmitter
• Fully assemble model
• Make sure linkages move freely
• Perform the Control Direction Test with the transmitter
• Adjust flight controls and transmitter
• Perform a radio system Range Check
• Find a safe and open area
• Plan flight for flying field conditions
Maintenance After Flying
• Disconnect flight battery from model (Required for Safety)
• Power off transmitter
• Remove flight battery from aircraft
• Recharge flight battery
• Repair or replace all damaged parts
• Store flight battery apart from aircraft and monitor the battery charge
• Make note of flight conditions and flight plan results,
planning for future flights
Binding Procedure
1. Make sure DX4e transmitter is powered off.
2. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
3. Connect the flight battery to the ESC. The receiver LED will begin to flash
rapidly.
4. Move the transmitter controls to neutral (flight controls: rudder, elevators and
ailerons) or to low positions (throttle, throttle trim, and flight control trims).*
5. Power on the transmitter while holding the DX4e transmitter bind button.
Release bind button when LEDs flash on the front of the transmitter.
6. When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the LED on the receiver will flash
very quickly. Once the binding process is complete, the flashing will slow.
7. Remove the bind plug from the receiver in the battery compartment. Safely
store the bind plug (some owners attach the bind plug to their transmitter
using two-part loops and clips).
8. Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC then power off the transmitter.
9. Power on the transmitter then connect the flight battery to the ESC.
The LED on the receiver will be solid red.
* The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put
at the lowest position.
