Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifi er) code of a single specifi c transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your
chosen Spektrum
™
DSM2
®
/DSMX
®
technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.
Please visit www.bindnfl y.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.
CAUTION:
When using a Futaba
®
transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module, you must reverse the throttle channel and rebind. Refer to your Spektrum
module manual for binding and failsafe instructions. Refer to your Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle channel.
Read the transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver
(location of transmitter’s Bind control).
1.
Make sure the transmitter is powered off.
2.
Move the transmitter controls to neutral (fl ight controls: rudder,
elevators and ailerons) or to low positions (throttle, throttle trim).**
3.
Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
4. Connect the fl ight battery to the ESC, then power on the ESC switch.
The ESC will produce a series of sounds. One long tone, then 6 short
tones confi rm that the LVC is set correctly for the ESC. The orange
bind LED on the receiver will begin to fl ash rapidly.
5.
Power on the transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button
or switch. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding.
6.
When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the orange bind light on
the receiver will turn solid and the ESC will produce a series of three
ascending tones. The tones indicate the ESC is armed, provided the
throttle stick and throttle trim are low enough to trigger arming.
7.
After binding, the 3 LEDs (blue, yellow and red) on the receiver
will fl ash. The fl ashing indicates the gain setting for each axis. For
more information, refer to the “Initializing the AR635” section in the
receiver manual.
8.
Remove the bind plug from the bind port.
9.
Safely store the bind plug (some owners attach the bind plug to their
transmitter using two-part loops and clips).
10.
The receiver should retain the binding instructions received from the
transmitter until another binding is done.
** The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the
lowest position. If you encounter problems, follow the binding instructions and
refer to the transmitter Troubleshooting Guide for other instructions. If needed,
contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support offi ce.
