3.  Move the throttle stick and all channels to the desired failsafe 

position.

4.  Follow the procedures of your specific transmitter to enter Bind Mode.  

The system will connect within a few seconds. Once connected, the 

two LEDs on the receiver will turn solid.

5.  Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind mode 

the next time the power is turned on.

6.  After you've set up your model, always rebind the system to set the 

true failsafe positions.

Step 7. Radio Setup and Programming

Following the instructions in your radio manual, program your airplane. 

Step 8. Rebinding the Receiver

After you’ve programmed your model, it’s important to rebind the system so the 

true failsafe control surface positions are set. 

Step 9. Ground Range Testing and Verification Red LED

 

Advanced Range Testing

 

In airplanes that have significant carbon fiber construction, it is imperative to 

first do an advanced ground range check. This ground range check will confirm 

that the receiver is operating optimally and that the antennas are properly 

mounted in a position that will give positive RF coverage in all attitudes. This 

advanced range check allows the RF performance of the receiver and the 

positions of each antenna to be verified and to optimize the locations of the 

antennas.

Advanced Range Test

1.  Turn on the system (Tx and Rx).
2.  Have a helper hold your aircraft while observing the red LED (labeled 

with H) located on the receiver. 

3.  Standing 30 paces away from the model, face the model with the 

transmitter in your normal flying position and put your transmitter 

into range test mode. This causes reduced power output from 

the transmitter. Have your helper position the model covering all
