BIND THE RECEIVER TO THE TRANSMITTER
For proper installation and operation of the 2.4GHz transmitter and receiver
system, it is necessary to “bind” them together electronically. This ensures
sole communication between the two and prevents other transmitters from
being able to control the receiver. To bind the Tx and Rx:
1. Turn on the transmitter.
2.
Apply power to the receiver (see the INSTALLATION section that follows
for how to do this).
3.
If the receiver’s LED fl ashes once and then stays on, the Rx is already
bound to the Tx and you can skip to the next section. Otherwise, push
and hold the receiver’s “BIND” button until its LED glows red and then
turns off after about one second.
4. Release the bind button.
5.
If the binding is successful, the LED will fl ash once and then remain ON.
6.
Test for proper Tx / Rx functionality by completing the next section. If it
doesn’t seem the radio has bound properly, repeat steps 1-6 above.
INSTALLATION
Receiver: Mount the receiver
as specifi
ed in your model’s
instructions. As a guideline,
mount in a secure location
using double-sided tape. Route
the servo wires so they do not
interfere with any moving parts.
For boat applications, it’s highly
recommended to wrap the
receiver in a balloon or enclose it
in a water tight box.
Servos: See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section at the end of this
manual for a full list of optional servos. CENTER THE TRIM DIALS on the Tx.
Mount the servos inside the model and connect the linkages to the servo using
an appropriate length servo arm. Make sure all mechanical linkages are free
of obstructions and can move smoothly. Connect the servos to the receiver as
shown in Figure 3. Turn the transmitter’s trim dials to fi nely adjust the servo’s
center point as needed to match the installation.
Electronic Speed Control (ESC): If using an electronic speed control, connect
it to channel 2 of the receiver (throttle). Center the transmitter’s throttle trim
and follow the ESC instructions for programming.
