MPORTANT:
The included AR636 receiver has been programmed for operation
specifi cally 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 (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. Place the aircraft level on its wheels, then connect the fl ight battery to the ESC.
The ESC will produce a series of sounds. Six fl at tones followed immediately by
two ascending 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. 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 specifi c 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. Six fl at tones followed
immediately by two ascending tones. The tones indicate 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 offi ce.

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

* 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 collectively and actively to place the aircraft in a slow descending left turn.
