Binding Procedure / Switching OFF SAFE Select

I

MPORTANT: 

The included AR636 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, connect the flight battery to the ESC, 

then turn ON the switch. The ESC will produce a series of sounds. 3 flat 

tones followed immediately by 2 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 3 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. 3 flat 

tones followed immediately by 2 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 and last setting 

until it has been intentionally changed, even when power is cycled ON and 

OFF. However, if you notice that bind has been lost, simply repeat the binding 

processs.

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 you encounter problems, 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.
