Control  Direction Test

Perform a 

Control Direction Test

 to see how quickly 

your sailboat responds to transmitter controls. In 

gusty wind conditions, knowing how fast your sailboat 

responds can make the difference between easy sailing 

and sinking your boat.

Ensure your boat and transmitter are bound before doing 

these tests (see 

Binding

). Move the controls on the 

transmitter to ensure the rudder and sails move correctly 

and in the proper direction. Ensure the rudder moves 

freely and that the winch servo takes in and releases 

control lines appropriately. 

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.  Power off the transmitter and boat switch.
2.  Connect a fully charged battery pack to the boat.
3.  Power on the boat switch. The RED LED on the 

receiver flashes.

4.  Press the bind button (

A

) on the receiver.  

The RED LED on the receiver flashes.

5.  Power on the transmitter.
6.  The RED LED on the receiver turns solid when the 

radio system is bound. 

You must rebind when binding the receiver to a different 

transmitter.

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.
