this manual to ensure that your transmitter is properly programmed for this aircraft.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Switching ON and OFF SAFE Select
Bind Plug Installation
Binding Procedure / Switching OFF SAFE Select
IMPORTANT:
The included AR631 receiver has been programmed for operation
specifically for this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct setup if the
receiver is replaced or is used in another aircraft.
CAUTION:
When using a Futaba
®
transmitter with a Spektrum DSM
®
module, you must reverse the throttle channel and rebind. Refer to your
Spektrum module manual for binding and failsafe instructions. Refer to your
Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle channel.
1. Make sure the transmitter is powered off.
2. Move the transmitter controls to neutral (flight controls: rudder, elevators and
ailerons) or to low positions (throttle, throttle trim).*
3. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
4. Place the aircraft level on its wheels, then connect the flight battery to the
ESC. The ESC will produce a series of sounds. Three flat tones followed im-
mediately by two ascending tones confirm that the LVC is set correctly for the
ESC.
The orange bind LED on the receiver will begin to flash rapidly. DO NOT
remove the bind plug at this time.
5. Take three steps away from the aircraft /receiver and then power ON the
transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button or switch. Refer to your
transmitter’s manual for specific binding instructions.
IMPORTANT:
Do not to point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the receiver
while binding.
IMPORTANT:
Keep away from large metal objects while binding.
6. The receiver is bound to the transmitter when the orange bind light on the
receiver stays orange. The ESC will produce a series of sounds. Six flat tones
followed immediately by two ascending tones. The tones indicate the ESC is
armed, provided the throttle stick and throttle trim are low enough to trigger
arming.
7.
Remove the bind plug from the bind port.
IMPORTANT:
Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that trans-
mitter until it has been intentionally changed, even when power is cycled ON and
OFF. Repeat the binding process as necessary.
SAFE Select OFF Indication
Every time the receiver is powered ON the surfaces will cycle back and forth
once
to indicate that SAFE Select has been switched OFF.
The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the
lowest position. If problems are encountered, follow the binding instructions and
refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed,
contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.

SAFE Select ON Indication
Every time the receiver is powered ON the surfaces will cycle back and forth
twice
with a slight pause at neutral position to indicate that SAFE Select is
switched ON.
The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the
lowest position. If problems are encountered, follow the binding instructions and
refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed,
contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
* Failsafe:
If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. When activated, failsafe moves the throttle channel to its preset failsafe position (low
throttle) that was set during binding. All other channels move to actively level the aircraft in flight.
