BINDING ThE RECEIVER TO ThE
TRANSMITTER
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to
recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a
single specific transmitter. The receiver only responds to the
transmitter the receiver is bound to.
1. Power the receiver off and insert the bind plug into the
BIND slot on the receiver.
2. Power the receiver through any open receiver slot. The
receiver LED will flash rapidly, indicating the receiver is in
bind mode.
3. Move the steering wheel and throttle trigger to the
failsafe positions and continue to hold those postions until
the binding process is complete.
4. Press the bind button on the DX2L while powering on the
transmitter. The red LED on the DX2L will flash after 4
seconds when the transmitter is in bind mode.

5. Release the bind button after the red LED on the DX2L
flashes.
6. Continue holding the failsafe positions until the receiver
LED is solid.
7. The LED on the receiver will glow solid when the
transmitter and receiver are bound.
8. Remove the bind plug from the receiver and store it in a
convenient place.
You must rebind the transmitter and receiver when:
• Different failsafe positions are desired. For example, when
throttle or steering reversing has been changed.
• Changing receiver types. For example, changing from a
DSM receiver to a DSM2 or Marine receiver.
• Binding the receiver to a different transmitter.
REVERSING ThE SERVO DIRECTIONS
If the steering or throttle channel responds in the opposite
direction, reverse the channel on the transmitter.

when the wheel is centered. Rotating the dial changes the
