Binding Procedure of 2.4GHz Radio:
The Millennium PTU utilizes advanced 2.4GHz radio control technology which requires a binding procedure
prior to flying in the original transmitter or if the Millennium PTU is lost/broken and replaced with new one.
Please note the set of Millennium PTU and transmitter sold together in a colored box were already
bound to each other by the manufacturer. There is no requirement to ‘bind’ these together prior to use.
If at some point it becomes necessary to bind, simply follow these instructions:
1.
With the Millennium PTU and transmitter turned off, press down on the left steering trim button and then
turn on the transmitter
2.
Release the left trim button and you will hear a series of tones
3.
Turn on the Millennium PTU during the series of tones, wait for 2 seconds, then move the steering stick.
The binding procedure is accomplished when the red LED on Millennium PTU’s receiver board
becomes solid.
