Re-Binding the Transmitter to the Receiver
The Losi DSM radio system included in the Mini-Monster Baja operates on 2.4 GHz, and provides 79 different
channels which are automatically selected when the transmitter and vehicle are turned on. The communication
between the transmitter and receiver begins in the few seconds after the transmitter and vehicle are both turned
on. This is called the “binding process.” The Losi DSM radio system will not interfere with previous technology radio
systems that operate on 27 MHz or 75 MHz frequencies and you will not receive any interference from them.
Although set at the factory, below are the steps required to re-bind your transmitter to the receiver should the need
arise. During the bind process there is a unique ID from the transmitter communicated to the receiver to ensure
trouble-free radio operation.
Steps to Re-Bind
1. Ensure that the transmitter and vehicle are both turned off.
2. Using the supplied Bind plug (which looks like a standard receiver plug with a wire loop installed) insert or plug
into the receiver slot labeled “BIND”. Looking down on the receiver this slot would be below the LED and is the
farthest from the LED, or nearest to the corner of the receiver.
Note
: You do not need to remove any of the other plugs to re-bind.
3. With the Bind plug installed, turn on the vehicle. Notice a blinking Orange LED within the receiver.
4. Now you are ready to turn on the transmitter. You should notice on the back of the transmitter a similar blinking
Orange LED under the translucent cover.
5. Both the receiver and transmitter blinking Orange LED will stop blinking and become solid, indicating they have
“bound” themselves together.
6. Please turn off both the vehicle and transmitter to remove the Bind plug from the receiver. Failing to remove the
Bind plug will cause the transmitter to attempt to re-bind every time you turn on the vehicle and transmitter.
7. Turn on both the vehicle and transmitter to ensure operation. If the transmitter does not control the vehicle, please
repeat steps 1–6. Should this not correct the problem please call Horizon Service/Repair for further assistance.
8. The Bind process is complete. Your vehicle’s radio system should be ready for use.
