This product requires an approved Spektrum
™
DSM2
®
/DSMX
®
compatible trans-
mitter. Visit www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of approved transmitters.
The aircraft has an optional SAFE Select feature, which can be switched ON or
OFF easily by binding in a specific manner as described below.
IMPORTANT:
Before binding a transmitter, read the Transmitter Setup section
of this manual to ensure that your transmitter is properly programmed for this
aircraft.

Binding Procedure / Switching OFF SAFE Select
IMPORTANT:
The included AR630 receiver has been programmed for opera-
tion specifically for this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct
setup if the receiver is replaced or is used in another aircraft.
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.
1. Make sure the transmitter is powered off.
2. Move the transmitter controls to neutral (flight controls: rudder, elevators
and ailerons) or to low positions (throttle, throttle trim).*
3. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
4. Place the aircraft level on its wheels, then connect the flight battery to
the ESC. The ESC will produce a series of sounds. Three flat tones fol-
lowed immediately by two ascending tones confirm that the LVC is set
correctly for the ESC.
The orange bind LED on the receiver will begin to flash rapidly. DO
NOT remove the bind plug at this time.
5. Take three steps away from the aircraft /receiver and then power ON the
transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button or switch. Refer to
your transmitter’s manual for specific binding instructions.
IMPORTANT:
Do not to point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the
receiver while binding.
IMPORTANT:
Keep away from large metal objects while binding.
6. The receiver is bound to the transmitter when the orange bind light
on the receiver stays orange. The ESC will produce a series of sounds.
Three or four flat tones followed immediately by two ascending tones.
The tones indicate the number of cells in the battery and that the ESC
is armed, provided the throttle stick and throttle trim are low enough to
trigger arming.
7. Remove the bind plug from the bind port.
IMPORTANT:
Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that
transmitter until it has been intentionally changed, even when power is
cycled ON and OFF. Repeat the binding process as necessary.
SAFE Select OFF Indication
Every time the receiver is powered ON the surfaces will cycle back and forth
once
to indicate that SAFE Select has been switched OFF.
The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the
lowest position. If problems are encountered, follow the binding instructions
and refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If
needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.

SAFE Select ON Indication
Every time the receiver is powered ON the surfaces will cycle back and forth
twice
with a slight pause at neutral position to indicate that SAFE Select is
switched ON.
The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the
lowest position. If problems are encountered, follow the binding instructions
and refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If
needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
* Failsafe
If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. When activated, failsafe moves the throttle channel to its preset
failsafe position (low throttle) that was set during binding. All other channels move to actively level the aircraft in flight.
