Binding is connecting a transmitter to an aircraft receiver wirelessly or electronically so the aircraft receiver recognizes the transmit
-
ter GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code. Binding is necessary for proper operation.
Note: When using a Futaba transmitter with an aircraft receiver, reversing the throttle channel may be required.
CAUTION: ALWAYS power on the transmitter before connecting the flight battery to the aircraft ESC. ALWAYS
disconnect the flight battery from the aircraft ESC before powering off the transmitter.
Additional Binding Information
Before each flight, power on the transmitter and wait about five (5) seconds
before connecting the flight battery to the aircraft ESC. The transmitter scans
and secures two radio frequencies for aircraft control. When the flight battery
is connected too quickly for the transmitter to make frequency selection, the
transmitter and receiver may not connect. When there is no connection, leave the transmitter powered on, disconnect the flight
battery then connect the flight battery to the receiver.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
The Extra 300 requires a DSM2 full range (high power) transmitter. The list below is
Spektrum™ or JR® DSM2-equipped full range
transmitters and modules that can bind to the Extra 300’s receiver:
•Spektrum DX5e
•Spektrum DX6i
•Spektrum DX7/DX7se
•JR X9303/9503 2.4
•JR 11X
•JR 12X 2.4
•All SPM Module systems
Binding Procedure Reference Table
1.
Read transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).
2.
Make sure transmitter is powered off.
3.
Install a bind plug in the receiver Batt/Bind port.
4.
Connect the flight battery to the ESC. The receiver LED will begin to flash rapidly.
5.
Move the transmitter controls to neutral (flight controls: rudder, elevators and ailerons) or to low
positions (throttle, throttle trim, and flight control trims).*
6.
Power on the transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button or switch. Refer to your
transmitter’s manual for binding button or switch instructions.
7.
The receiver light will go from flashing rapidly to flashing slowly. After 5–10 seconds the light will
become solid indicating the receiver is bound to the transmitter.
8.
Remove the bind plug from the receiver.
9.
Safely store the bind plug (some owners attach the bind plug to their transmitter using two-part loops
and clips).
10.
The receiver should keep the binding to the transmitter until a bind plug is put in the receiver Batt/
Bind port.
* The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the lowest position.
If problems are encountered, obey binding instructions and refer to transmitter troubleshooting guide
for other instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
