transmitter Precautions
l
Turn the
transmitter ON first and then turn the
receiver ON. After using your model, turn the
receiver OFF first, then turn the
transmitter
OFF. It can be dangerous if you activate the components in reverse order as the servos may start up inadvertently.
l
Before use, double-check that the transmitter and
receiver batteries are sufficiently charged.
l
Never touch the transmitter antenna during use. Doing so may cause loss of transmitter output, making it impossible
to control your model.
l
Before use, the transmitter antenna should be angled so that the antenna is as close to perpendicular to the
ground as possible during use. This is the optimum angle for use. After use, to prevent any chance of damaging
the antenna, the antenna should be moved into the horizontal stowed position.
Keep Antenna
Perpendicular
to Ground
l
Be certain to read these Operating Instructions in their entirety.
l
'Safety First' for yourself, for others, and for your equipment.
l
Observe all the rules of the flying site or anywhere you operate your radio control equipment.
l
If at any time during the operation of your model should you feel or observe erratic operation or abnormality, end your operation as
quickly and safely as possible. DO NOT operate your model again until you are certain the problem has been corrected.
l
Your model can cause serious damage or injury, so please use caution and courtesy at all times.
l
If you have little to no experience operating models, we strongly recommend you seek the assistance of experienced modelers or your
local hobby shop for guidance.

BindinG tHe receiver to your transmitter
It is necessary to pair the transmitter and receiver to prevent interference from radio controllers operated by other users. This operation
is referred to as 'binding'. Once the binding process is complete, the setting is remembered even when the transmitter and receiver are
turned OFF, therefore, this procedure usually only needs to be done once for each separate receiver you're using.
When the binding procedure is successful, the Bind LED on the receiver will stay solid blue when both the transmitter and receiver
are turned ON. If the Bind LED on the receiver is blinking rapidly or not ON at all, the transmitter and receiver are not paired. In this
case, turn both the transmitter and receiver OFF, then repeat the binding procedure.
1) Ensure that the throttle control stick is in the LOW position (pulled all the way back). In HELI mode, ensure that the Flight Mode switch
is set to 'N' (Normal).
2) Turn the transmitter ON. The Bind LED on the transmitter will illuminate solid blue.
4) Quickly press the Bind Button on the transmitter. The Bind LED on the receiver will blink rapidly for ~3 seconds, go out momentarily,
then illuminate solid blue, indicating the binding process is complete.
Use the tip of a pencil or a 1.5mm hex wrench to press the Bind Button on the receiver.
3) While holding down the Bind Button on the receiver, turn the receiver ON. The
Bind LED on the receiver will blink slowly. After ~2 seconds release the Bind
Button. The Bind LED on the receiver will continue to blink slowly.
The Binding procedure describes binding the receiver to an Airtronics RDS8000 2.4GHz transmitter. If binding the receiver to an
Airtronics SD-10G 2.4Ghz transmitter, please refer to the Transmitter and Receiver Binding section in your SD-10G Operating Manual.
IMPORTANT
If binding the receiver to the Airtronics SD-10G 2.4GHz transmitter, the SD-10G transmitter Modulation must first be
changed to FH1. Refer to your SD-10G Operating Manual for more information.
