For a list of compatible DSM2/DSMX transmitters, please
visit www.bindnfl y.com.
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.
Failsafe
If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. When
activated, the airplane controls return to the neutral position established during
step 3 of the binding procedure.
Binding Procedure Reference Table
1. Refer to your transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver.
2. Ensure the transmitter is powered off.
3. Make sure the transmitter controls are at neutral and the throttle is
in the low position.*
4. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
5. Connect the fl ight battery to the ESC. The ESC will produce a series
of sounds. One long tone, then three short tones confi rm that the
LVC is set for the ESC.
6. The receiver LED will begin to fl ash rapidly.
7. Power on the transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button
or switch.
8. When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the 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.
9. Remove the bind plug from the bind port.
10. Safely store the bind plug.
11. 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.

Battery Charging Process
NOTICE:
Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not
damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g.,
swollen, bent, broken or punctured.
1. Attach the input cord of the charger to the appropriate power supply
(12V accessory outlet).
2. When the Li-Po charger has been correctly powered up, there will
be an approximate 3-second delay, then an audible “beep” and the
green (ready) LED will fl ash.
3. Turn the control on the Amps selector so the arrow points to the
charging rate required for the battery (the included 2200mAh Li-Po
battery will charge at 2.0 amps, which is 1C). DO NOT change the
charge rate once the battery begins charging.
4. Move the cell selector switch to 3-cell for your battery.
5. Connect the Balancing Lead of the Battery to the 3-cell (it has 4
pins) charger port.
6. The green and red LEDs may fl ash during the charging process
when the charger is balancing cells. Balancing prolongs the life of
the battery.
7. When the battery is fully charged, there will be an audible beep
for approximately 3 seconds and the green LED will glow solid.
Attempting to charge an over-discharged battery will cause the
charger to repeatedly fl ash and beep, indicating an error has oc-
curred.
8. Always disconnect the battery from the charger immediately upon
completion of charging.
CAUTION
: Overcharging a battery can cause a fi re.
CAUTION
: Only use a charger specifi cally designed to charge a Li-Po
battery. Failure to do so could result in fi re causing injury or property damage.
CAUTION
: Never exceed the recommended charge rate.
NOTICE:
If using a battery other than the included Li-Po battery, refer to your
battery manufacturer’s instructions for charging.
Refer to the charging warnings. It is recommended to charge the battery while
you inspect the aircraft. The fl ight battery will be required to confi rm proper
aircraft operation in future steps.
CAUTION:
The balance connector must be inserted into the correct port of
your charger prior to charging.
Purchase optional 12V adapters (HBZ6513 or HBZ4747) to power your charger
more conveniently.
