Using an AS3X SAFE receiver requires a Spektrum

compatible transmitter with forward programming.
Transmitter and receiver binding
Binding
The AR8020T receiver must be bound to your transmitter before it will operate.
Binding is the process of teaching the receiver the specific code of the
transmitter so it will only connect to that specific transmitter. When new out of
the package, the AR8020T will automatically go into bind mode the first time it
is powered on.
1.
Connect the optional SRXL2 remote receiver (SPM9747 or SPM4651T) if
desired and any telemetry sensors to the main receiver.
2.
Push and hold the bind
button on the receiver
while turning the
receiver on. Release
the bind button once
the orange LED starts
to flash continuously,
indicating that the
receiver is in bind
mode.
TIP:
It is still possible to
use a bind plug in the
BIND port if desired. This
can come in handy if the receiver needs to be mounted in a location that is
difficult to access, in which case a servo extension may be used for binding.
If using a bind plug, remove after binding to prevent the system from
entering bind mode the next time the power is turned on.
3.
Put your transmitter in bind mode.
4.
The bind process is complete when the orange LED on the receiver is solid.
Failsafe
In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will
enable the selected failsafe mode. Smart Safe + Hold Last is the default setting
on the AR8020T. Preset Failsafe and SAFE Failsafe are only available through
forward programming.
Sma Hold Last
If loss of signal occurs, SmartSafe™ technology moves the throttle channel to
its preset failsafe position (low throttle) that was set during binding. All other
channels will hold their last position. When the receiver detects the signal from
the transmitter, normal aircraft operation resumes.
