Installing the Flight Battery
Once the Li-Po battery is fully charged, you can install it in the helicopter. This is done by sliding it into
the battery mounting supports/slots just below the main gears. Slide the battery into the slots with the
label facing downward and the connector oriented toward the back of the helicopter.
Be sure to slide the battery into the slots until the endcap of the battery comes into contact with the
rear battery support. This allows you to achieve the correct center of gravity for the best overall flight
performance. However, be sure the battery is not pushed far enough forward that it makes contact
with the servo gears, as this could cause damage to the gears and a potential crash.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
The Blade mCX2 RTF comes bound to the MLP4DSM transmitter included.
The BNF version requires you to bind to your own compatible DSMX Aircraft Transmitter.
To bind or re-bind your mCX2 to your chosen transmitter please follow the directions below:
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. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum DSMX
technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.
Following are some of the Spektrum DSMX-equipped transmitters and modules that bind to the
receiver of your Blade mCX2.
E-flite MLP4DSM
E-flite LP5DSM
ParkZone Vapor Transmitter
PKZ Ember 2 Transmitter
JR 12X 2.4
Spektrum DX5e
Spektrum DX6i
Spektrum DX7/DX7se
Note: The Spektrum DX6 (SPM2460) is equipped with DSM (not DSMX) technology and is not compat-
ible with the receiver of the Blade mCX2.
The following steps outline the binding process:
• Make sure the flight battery is disconnected from the 5-in-1 unit and the transmitter is turned off.
• Plug the flight battery into the 5-in-1 unit.
• Plug the flight battery into the 5-in-1 unit. After 5 seconds the LED on the 5-in1 unit will begin
flashing.
