Transmitter and Receiver Binding
CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the quadcopter when not
flying 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 fire when batteries are charged.
To bind or re-bind your quadcopter to your chosen transmitter, follow the directions below.

Binding Procedure
1. Select the correct model in your transmitter.
2. Power on your transmitter.
3. Lower the throttle fully.
4. Power the quadcopter on while pressing the bind button on the TPU 3D print
mount, as shown in the picture.
5. Follow the procedures of your specific transmitter to enter Bind Mode.
6. The receiver LED glows solid orange indicating binding was successful.
If you encounter problems, obey binding instructions and refer to the
troubleshooting guide for other instructions.
Failsafe
The included receiver does not have failsafe capabilities. Failsafe is detected at the flight controller. In the event of a loss of signal to the
receiver the flight controller will cut power to the motors to prevent a fly-away situation.
How to Binding your Taranis
The following steps are the actual binding procedures for the OpenTX Taranis series of radios:
1.Power off your quadcopter (RX) and power on your Taranis.
2
.
Press the Menu button on the Taranis to activate the Model Selection page.
3.Select an un-used model and press Page.
4.Optionally select and enter a name for your new quadcopter.
5.Using the +/- buttons, scroll to the bottom of the menu to Internal RF | Mode.
Select D16 for all miniquad receivers (which includes X4R-SB, XSR, XM+).
6.Scroll down to [Bind] using the – button. Press the ENT button on your TX to enable binding mode.
Your Taranis should begin making an intermittent chirping noise.
7.Find the physical push button on your RX. It is most often next to the LED that turns on when it is powered up.
On the XM+ it is very small and near the antenna. This is the Failsafe button.
8.Press and hold the Failsafe button while powering up your receiver/quadcopter.
This can take more than two hands, so you may need to have some help.
9.When the receiver powers up, you should see a solid green light and a blinking red light. This indicates success.
Any other light scheme means you likely have a problem, you should try the process again or consult the FrSky manual.
10.On the Taranis, press ENT to exit bind mode. Press EXIT several times to go back to the home page.
11.Power your receiver/quadcopter back on. Verify that it is showing a solid green light, indicating that it is successfully communicating
with the radio. If your RX supports telemetry, you should see radio signal telemetry show up on your
How to Binding your nano RX
1. Just power up the TBS CROSSFIRE transmitter
2. On the standard transmitter, enter the configuration menu by pressing and holding the joystick for
3 seconds, select “General” and “Binding” - a message “Binding” will start blinking, waiting for the receiver. On the micro transmitter,
a short press on the button will initiate binding mode.
3. Now, power up the receiver (without pressing the Bind button!), if your receiver has not been previously bound, it will automatically bind.
Otherwise, press and release the “BIND” button on the receiver to initiate binding. On the receiver is a timeout of one minute for after
power up to enter bind mode. If the status LED will start blinking slowly the receiver has switched successfully to bind mode.
4. Within a few seconds the process will finish with a “Binding complete” message on the standard transmitter, or a solid green LED on the
micro transmitter. The receiver has now stored the unique serial number of that particular CROSSFIRE transmitter. If it doesn’t bind,
please verify that your firmware is to the newest version on both the receiver and the transmitter.
