General Binding Tips and Failsafe
BNF
• The included receiver has been specifically programmed for operation of this
aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct setup if the receiver is replaced.
• Keep away from large metal objects while binding.
• Do not point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the receiver while binding.
• The orange LED on the receiver will flash rapidly when the receiver enters bind
mode.
• Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that transmitter until
you re-bind.
• If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate.
Failsafe moves the throttle channel to low throttle. Pitch and roll channels move
to actively stabilize the aircraft in a descending turn.
• If problems occur, refer to the troubleshooting guide or if needed, contact the
appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
