1. Turn on the Tx.
2. Apply power to the Rx.
3. If the Rx 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, insert a small diameter
screwdriver through the hole marked “BIND” and press the pushbutton until
the Rx LED glows red and then turns off after about one second.
4. Release the “BIND” button.
5. If the binding is successful, the Rx LED will fl ash once and then remain ON.
6. Test for proper Tx / Rx functionality before use. If the radio doesn’t appear to
have become properly bound, repeat steps 1– 6 above.
FAILSAFE FUNCTION
The included TR624 receiver has a failsafe feature which engages in the event that
the radio signal from the transmitter somehow becomes interrupted. If radio contact
is broken, this safety feature causes the servos to automatically move either to a
certain position, or hold their last position so to prevent the model from moving in
an erratic manner. Channels 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 will enter a “hold” mode, whereby the
servos will lock in their last recognized position.
The servo connected to channel 3, normally being the throttle control, will move to
a pre-set position. The factory default failsafe position for channel 3 is to move to
0% throttle
. Motor/prop movement should stop if the receiver loses signal from the
transmitter. The throttle servo’s failsafe position can be manually re-set to any other
position if desired, as follows:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before manually resetting the failsafe, make sure the servo
reversing switches are in the correct position for the application.
1.
Apply power to the Tx and Rx.
2a.
If using an ESC, do NOT arm the ESC. Do NOT attempt to adjust the throttle’s
failsafe position if the ESC is armed.
2b.
If using a gas or glow powered engine, do NOT attempt to adjust the throttle’s
failsafe position while the engine is operating.
3.
Move the Tx throttle stick to the desired position for the throttle control to move
if the Rx goes to failsafe.
4.
Press and hold the “Bind” button on the receiver, and the Rx’s LED should blink
twice. Release the Bind button, and the receiver’s LED should turn on (stop
fl ashing). The Tx and Rx should now be bound, with the throttle failsafe in the
new position as set above.
NOTE:
If you’re using an ESC which has a signal loss feature, the pre-set failsafe
position is irrelevant as the signal loss feature will cease the throttle operation if the
signal is lost.
