1.  Insert the 4 AA batteries that are included with the package into 

the transmitter, noting proper polarity.

2.  Turn the switch on to ensure the batteries have been installed 

correctly. When the batteries are installed correctly, the LED on 

the transmitter should glow brightly. When the transmitter makes 

a repeated “beep” sound, it is time to replace the transmitter 

batteries.

Binding Process

The 2.4GHz DSM2 receiver in the Vapor uses a unique binding

operation to link your transmitter with your receiver. Please refer to

your transmitter’s manual for detailed binding instructions when  

binding to another DSM2-equipped transmitter. Confirm that ATV 

travels on your DSM2 transmitter are not exceeding 100% prior to 

binding your transmitter to the Vapor.

Binding to the ParkZone DSM2 Transmitter

1.  Make sure your transmitter is powered off and the battery has been 

unplugged from your Vapor.

2.  With the transmitter turned off and plugged in. The transmitter 

must be turned on and placed in bind mode within 5 seconds of the 

flight battery being plugged in or it will not complete the  

binding process. 

 

Note: The LP5DSM transmitter included with the E-flite Blade CX2 

simply needs to be powered on.

3.  Once the transmitter has been turned on, the binding process 

should be finalized within about 8 seconds. If you encounter a  

problem simply unplug the flight battery, turn off the  

transmitter and repeat the process. If you still cannot complete the 

bind process, call the Horizon Support Team at 877.504.0233, or 

find your local distributor at www.horizonhobby.com to contact  

for assistance.

Step 2

Charging the Aircraft Battery

The included charger uses unique circuitry that ensures an accurate 

charge for the 3.7V 70mAh battery pack every time. It also protects 

the battery from being overcharged, which can damage the battery 

pack. The charger sequence begins with charging at constant current, 

then later switches to constant voltage.

To charge your ParkZone 3.7V 70mAh battery:

1. Remove the cover and install four of the included AA batteries in 

the charger base, noting proper polarity. Replace the cover 

when done.

2. Slide the battery into the charge slot on the display stand.

3.  Gently press the battery 

into the charging jack in the 

bottom of the slot, with the 

battery label facing outward.  

It is very important to note 

proper polarity to avoid 

damaging the battery.The LED 

light on the base will turn  

solid red.

4. The battery will charge in approximately 20 minutes when  

nearly depleted.

5. As the battery nears full charge, the LED will begin to  

blink. When fully charged, the LED will blink once every  

20 seconds.

6. You can expect to be able to charge the flight battery about 

15–20 times before it will become necessary to replace the 4 

AA batteries. Replacing with alkaline batteries will extend the AA 

battery life.
