Transmitter and Receiver Binding
Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally
Unique Identifi er) code of a single specifi c transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum
TM
DSM2
™
/
DSMX
®
technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.
Any JR
®
or Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the AS3X
™
DSM
®
receiver. For best fl ight
performance of the UMX
™
Gee Bee R2
™
, it is recommended that you use a transmitter with exponential and
dual rates. Please visit www.bindnfl y.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.
NOTICE:
When using a Futaba
®
transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module, reversing the throttle channel
is required.
Binding Procedure
1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver.
2. Make sure the fl ight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.
3. Power off the transmitter.
4. Connect the fl ight battery in the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin to fl ash rapidly, (typically after 5 seconds).
5. Make sure the transmitter controls are at neutral and the throttle and throttle trim are in the low position.
6. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or
switch instructions.
7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will become solid, indicating that the receiver is bound to the
transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the back of the manual.
For subsequent fl ights, power on the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the fl ight battery.
Installing the Flight Battery
1. Remove the battery hatch.
2. Attach the flight battery to the hook and loop
strip (
A
) on the battery tray. See the
Adjusting
the Center of Gravity
instructions for the
battery’s position.
3. Place the aircraft on the ground out of the wind
and connect a fully charged flight battery.
Ensure the aircraft is immobile for 5
seconds so the AS3X system initializes
correctly.
See the
Arming the ESC
instructions
for correct connection of the battery to the ESC.
4. Install the battery hatch.
NOTICE:
If using a different battery than the
recommended 2-Cell 7.4V 200mAh 25C Li-Po, you
will need to apply a circle of hook and loop fastener
to the battery in order to hold the battery in place.
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the Li-Po
battery from the aircraft receiver when not fl ying to
avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries
discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest
approved voltage may become damaged, resulting
in loss of performance and potential fi re when
batteries are charged.
