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) transmitter. 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 Habu:
Spektrum DX5e JR X9303 2.4
Spektrum DX6i JR 12X 2.4
Spektrum DX7/DX7se 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.
• 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 the bind plug in a safe place.
If you encounter any problems, repeat the binding process again, see the troubleshooting guide or call the
