DXe Binding Procedure
1. Disconnect the fl ight battery from the helicopter.
2. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position. Set all trims to the center position.
3. Power off the transmitter.
4. Install the bind plug in the receiver BIND/PROG port (far left side of the receiver).
5. Connect the fl ight battery to the ESC. The receiver LED fl ashes, indicating it is in bind mode.
6. Press and hold the Bind Switch while powering on the transmitter.
7. The transmitter will beep and the LED will blink. Release the Bind Switch.
8. The helicopter is bound when the LED on the receiver control unit is solid and the transmitter emits 3 rapid,
high-pitch tones. If the transmitter emits 2 low-pitch tones, the binding procedure was not successful and should be
attempted again.
9. Disconnect the fl ight battery and power the transmitter off.
If you encounter problems, obey binding instructions and refer to the troubleshooting guide for other instructions.
If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support offi ce.
To bind your Spektrum DXe transmitter, follow the directions below.
Revolutionary SAFE
®
(Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope)
technology uses an innovative combination of multi-axis
sensors and software that allows model aircraft to know
its position relative to the horizon. This spatial awareness
is utilized to create a controlled fl ight envelope the aircraft
can use to maintain a safe region of bank and pitch angles
so you can fl y more safely. Far beyond stability, this level of
protection offers multiple modes so the pilot can choose to
develop his or her skills with a greater degree of security
and fl ight control that always feels crisp and responsive.
SAFE technology delivers:
• Flight envelope protection you can enable at the fl ip of
a switch.
• Multiple modes let you adapt SAFE technology to your
skill level instantly.
Best of all, sophisticated SAFE technology doesn’t require
any work to enjoy. Every aircraft with SAFE installed is
ready to use and optimized to offer the best possible fl ight
experience.

Flight Mode and Rate Selection
In
Stability Mode
the bank angle is limited. When the
cyclic stick is released the model will return to level.
In
Intermediate Mode
the bank angle is not limited. When
the cyclic stick is released the model will not return to
level. This mode is great for learning forward fl ight and
basic aerobatics such as stall turns and loops.
In
Agility Mode
the bank angle is not limited. When the
cyclic sticks is released the model will not return to level.
This mode is great for 3D aerobatics such as stationary
fl ips and tic tocs. Change rates by moving the two-position
dual rate switch.
• Low rate reduces the control rates, providing an easier
to fl y model. Beginners should use low rate for initial
fl ights.
• High rate provides full control and should be used by
intermediate and experience pilots.
Panic Recovery
If you get into distress while fl ying in any mode, push and
hold the Bind/Panic Switch and move the control sticks to
their neutral position. SAFE technology will immediately
return the aircraft to an upright level attitude, if the aircraft
is at a suffi cient height with no obstacles in its path. Return
the collective stick to 50% and release the Panic Switch
to turn off Panic Recovery and return to the current fl ight
mode.
NOTICE:
Before releasing the panic switch, make sure
the collective stick has been returned to the 50% posi-
tion. Once the panic switch has been released, full nega-
tive collective becomes available, which could cause the
230 S to descend rapidly.
• This mode is intended to provide the pilot with the confi -
dence to continue to improve their fl ight skills.
• Move the collective stick to 50% and return all other
transmitter controls to neutral for the quickest recovery.
• Once the model has reached a level upright attitude, the
negative collective is reduced to prevent the user from
pushing the model into the ground.
