Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifi er) code of a single specifi c transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your
chosen Spektrum
™
DSM2
®
/DSMX
®
technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation (Please visit www.bindnfl y.com for a complete list
of compatible transmitters).
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.

(RTF Version:
Your Spektrum DX4e comes prebound to the aircraft.)
1.
Read the transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).
BIND PLUG
2.
Make sure the transmitter is powered OFF.
3.
Move the transmitter controls to neutral (fl ight controls: rudder, elevators and ailerons) or to low
positions (throttle, throttle trim).*
4.
Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
5. Connect the fl ight battery to the ESC. The ESC will produce a series of sounds. One long tone,
then two short tones confi rm that the LVC is set for the ESC.
6.
The receiver LED will begin to fl ash rapidly.
7.
Power ON the transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button or switch. Refer to your
transmitter’s manual for binding button or switch instructions.
For the DX4e, release the trainer/bind button once the LEDs fl ash and a series of beeps sound.
Within a few seconds, the system should connect.
8.
When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the light on the receiver will turn solid and the ESC
will produce a series of three ascending tones. The tones indicate the ESC is armed, provided
the throttle stick and throttle trim are low enough to trigger arming.
9.
Remove the bind plug from the bind port.
10.
Safely store the bind plug (some owners attach the bind plug to their transmitter using two-part
loops and clips).
11.
The receiver should retain the binding instructions received from the transmitter until another
binding is done.
* 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 offi ce.
