“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.
Binding Procedure Reference Table
1.
Read the transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver (loca-
tion 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 single connector of the ESC Y-
harness. The ESCs will produce a series of sounds. One long tone,
then two short tones confi rm that the LVC is set for the ESCs.
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.
8.
When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the light on the
receiver will turn solid and the ESCs will produce a series of
three ascending tones. The tones indicate the ESCs are 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.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
A 4-channel or greater radio system is required for the PNP aircraft out of the
box. If optional fl aps and retracts are installed, a 6-channel or greater radio
system is required.
1. Install your park fl yer or full range receiver in the fuselage using hook and
loop tape or double-sided servo tape.
2. Attach the elevator and rudder servo connectors to the appropriate
channels of the receiver.
3. Attach the aileron Y-harness to the aileron channel of the receiver.
4. Attach the ESC connector to the throttle channel of the receiver.
