Zelos™ 48-Inch Gas Catamaran 

Binding 

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. We recommend checking your 

battery (DYN4071) before use. 

Control Check

IMPORTANT: 

Perform a control 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.  Power ON the transmitter and the boat. 

Do not 

install the boat canopy.

2.  Place the boat securely on the boat stand.

NOTICE:  

Do not operate the engine without water 

cooling circulation or damage may result. 

3.  Check steering and throttle on the transmitter.
