Transmitter-Specific Binding Instructions
DX5e:
A. To bind your Bf-109G to the DX5e, plug the bind
plug into the Batt/Bind port on the AR500 receiver.
B. Plug the battery into the ESC of the airplane. The
LED on the receiver will begin flashing.
C. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to
the desired failsafe positions (low throttle and neutral
control positions).
D. Pull and hold the Trainer Switch on the
transmitter while turning the transmitter on. Release
the trainer switch once the LEDs on the front of the
transmitter flash.
E. The LED on the receiver will go solid amber and the
system will connect after several seconds.
F. Remove and store bind plug in a safe place.
DX6i:
A. Start with a blank model memory, or the one you
have selected for the Bf-109G.
B. To bind your Bf-109G to the DX6i, plug the bind plug
into the Batt/Bind port on the AR500 receiver.
C. Plug the battery into the ESC of the airplane. The
LED on the receiver will begin flashing.
D. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to
the desired failsafe positions (low throttle and neutral
control positions).
E. Pull and hold the Trainer Switch on the transmitter
while turning the transmitter on. Release the trainer
switch once the word BIND flashes on the LCD
screen on the front of the transmitter.
F. The LED on the receiver will go solid amber and the
system will connect after several seconds.
G. Remove and store bind plug in a safe place.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
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. It will be
necessary for you to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum DSM2
technology equipped transmitter to the receiver for
proper operation.
The transmitter you select must be a DSM2 full
range (high power) Tx. The following is a list of some
of the Spektrum DSM2 equipped full range transmitters
and modules that will bind to the receiver of the Bf-109G:
Spektrum DX5e
JR X9303 2.4
Spektrum DX6i
JR 12X 2.4
Spektrum DX7/DX7se HP6DSM (EFLH1056)
All SPM Module systems
The following steps outline the binding process:
• Confirm the process of entering the bind mode for
your chosen transmitter by reviewing the instruction
manual included with the transmitter.
• Make sure the flight battery is disconnected from the
receiver unit and the transmitter is turned off.
• Plug the bind plug into the Batt/Bind port on the
AR500 receiver.
• Plug the flight battery into the battery lead of the
ESC. The LED on the receiver unit will begin flashing.
Note:
NEVER plug the balance lead of the battery
directly into the receiver. This will cause damage to the
receiver and battery.
• After verifying the LED is flashing on the receiver,
follow the steps that allow your chosen transmitter to
enter bind mode.
• If you entered bind mode correctly, you will see a
solid LED approximately 5–10 seconds later on the
receiver. You should now be bound to the transmitter,
and have full control and function.
• Remove and store bind plug in a safe place.
If you encounter any problems, repeat the binding
process again, see the troubleshooting guide or call the
Horizon Support Team at 1-877-504-0233.
DX7 (includes DX7se):
A. Start with a blank model memory, or the one you
have selected for the Bf-109G.
B. To bind your Bf-109G to the X9303, plug the
bind plug into the Batt/Bind port on the
AR500 receiver.
C. Plug the battery into the ESC of the airplane. The
LED on the receiver will begin flashing.
D. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to
the desired failsafe positions (low throttle and neutral
control positions).
E. Press the bind button on the back of the transmitter
while turning the transmitter on. The bind button on
the back of the transmitter will flash. Release the
button after 2–3 seconds.
F. The LED on the receiver will go solid amber and the
system will connect after several seconds.
G. Remove and store bind plug in a safe place.
X9303:
A. Start with a blank model memory, or the one you
have selected for the Bf-109G.
B. To bind your Bf-109G to the X9303, plug the bind
plug into the Batt/Bind port on the AR500 receiver.
C. Plug the battery into the ESC of the airplane. The
LED on the receiver will begin flashing.
D. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to
the desired failsafe positions (low throttle and neutral
control positions).
E. Press the bind button on the back of the transmitter
while turning the transmitter on. The bind button on
the back of the transmitter will flash. Release the
button after 2–3 seconds.
F. The LED on the receiver will go solid amber and the
system will connect after several seconds.
G. Remove and store bind plug in a safe place.
12X:
A. Start with a blank model memory, or the one you
have selected for the Bf-109G.
B. To bind your Bf-109G to the 12X, plug the bind plug
into the Batt/Bind port on the AR500 receiver.
C. Plug the battery into the ESC of the airplane. The
LED on the receiver will begin flashing.
D. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to
the desired failsafe positions (low throttle and neutral
control positions).
E. Press the black bind button on the back of the
transmitter while turning the transmitter on. Release
the button after 2–3 seconds.
F. The LED on the receiver will go solid amber and the
system will connect after several seconds.
G. Remove and store bind plug in a safe place.
Transmitter Control Identification
Note:
Each time before you fly you should ALWAYS turn
the transmitter on before connecting the flight battery
to the receiver unit. After each flight, be sure that you
always disconnect the flight battery from the receiver
unit before powering the transmitter off.
Additional Binding Information
Prior to each flight, you should ensure that you power on
your transmitter and wait about five seconds before you
plug the flight battery into the receiver. Doing this allows
time for the transmitter to scan and secure two open
frequencies. If the flight battery is plugged in too quickly
and the link is missed, it may not allow the receiver to
connect to the transmitter. If this occurs, simply leave
the transmitter on and then disconnect and reconnect the
flight battery.
Note:
If using a Futaba transmitter with a
Spektrum module, it may be necessary to reverse the
throttle channel.
