When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge.
The ESC protects the fl ight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage
Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes
power supplied to the motor. Power to the motor pulses, showing that some
battery power is reserved for fl ight control and safe landing.
When the motor pulses, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the
fl ight battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent
trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before stor-
age. During storage, make sure battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.
1. Carefully lift the front of the canopy (
A
) and pull the canopy forward and off
the fuselage.
2. Place the blue battery connector toward the front of the airplane and install
the fl ight battery (
B
) all the way to the front of the battery compartment.
3. If binding the aircraft receiver to the transmitter, refer to the transmitter
manual’s binding instructions. If the aircraft is already bound to the trans-
mitter, always power on the transmitter before connecting the fl ight battery
to the ESC connector in the aircraft.
4. Install the canopy on the fuselage. Make sure the magnets on the canopy
and fuselage meet.
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft
receiver when not fl ying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries
discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become
damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential fi re when batteries
are charged.
BIND PLUG
Binding Procedure Reference Table
1.
Read the transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).
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 three short tones confi rm that the LVC is set for the ESC.
6.
Power on the ESC switch.
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.
8.
When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the light on the receiver will turn solid and the ESC
will produce a series of four ascending tones. The tones will 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 binding instructions and refer to
the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support offi ce.
Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit 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.

NOTICE:
When using a Futaba transmitter with a Spektrum DSM
®
module, you must reverse the
throttle channel.
