Owner’s Manual
Binding
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to
recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a
single specific transmitter. The included transmitter and
receiver are bound at the factory. If you need to rebind,
follow the instructions below.
1.
Ensure the transmitter and vehicle are both powered
OFF.
2.
Remove the radio box cover and install the bind plug
in the BIND/battery port of the receiver. Power the
receiver through any other port.
3.
Power ON the vehicle. The receiver LED will blink
green.
4.
Stand approximately 8–12 feet (2.4–3.7m) from the
vehicle. With the steering wheel and throttle trigger
in the failsafe positions (neutral), press and hold
the bind button and power ON the transmitter. The
transmitter’s green LED will blink after 3 seconds,
indicating it is in bind mode.
5.
Release the bind button when the green LED flashes.
Continue holding failsafe positions until the binding
process is complete.
6.
The receiver LED will glow solid when the transmitter
and receiver are bound.
7.
Power OFF the vehicle, then the transmitter.
8.
Remove the bind plug and store it in a convenient
place.
9.
Reinstall the radio box cover.
The receiver will keep the binding to the transmitter until
another binding is done.
If you encounter problems, obey binding instructions and
refer to the troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If
needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support
office.
NOTICE:
Do not attempt to bind the transmitter and
receiver if there are other compatible transmitters in bind
mode within 400 feet. Doing so may result in unexpected
binding.
Failsafe
In the unlikely event that the radio connection is lost
during use, the receiver will drive the servos to their pre
programmed failsafe positions (normally no throttle and
straight steering).
If the receiver is powered on before powering on the
transmitter, the receiver will enter this failsafe mode.
When the transmitter is powered on, normal control is
resumed.
IMPORTANT:
Failsafe activates only in the event
that signal is lost from the transmitter. Failsafe will
NOT activate in the event that receiver battery power
decreases below the recommended minimums or power
to the receiver is lost.
Range Check
IMPORTANT:
Perform a range check at the beginning of
each boating session, after repair or after installation of
new batteries.
Ensure the receiver antenna is extended properly and all
batteries are fully charged.
1.
With the radio system powered on and connected,
while the engine is off, walk away from your boat 90
feet (32m).
2.
Have an assistant remain with the boat to check for
proper control movement of the rudder and throttle
servos in response to your transmitter input.
3.
If everything appears to be operating correctly, place
the boat in the water, start the engine, and increase
throttle to 1⁄3 throttle near the shore.
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine without water
cooling circulation or damage may result.
4.
Check steering and throttle on the transmitter. While
the boat is moving forward, ensure water flows out of
the coolant outlets.
5.
If the boat does not operate correctly, retrieve the
boat and perform repairs.
