Step 2
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
Binding is the process of programming the receiver of
the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique
Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. It will be
necessary for you to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum DSM2
technology equipped transmitter to the receiver for
proper operation.
The transmitter you select must be a DSM2 full range
(high power) Tx>. The following is a list of some of the
Spektrum DSM2 equipped transmitters and modules that
will bind to the receiver of the P-51D Mustang:
Spektrum DX5e
Spektrum DX6i
Spektrum DX7
JR X9303 2.4
JR 12X 2.4
Note:
The Spektrum DX6 (SPM2460) is equipped
with DSM (not DSM2) technology and is not
compatible with the receiver of the P-51D Mustang.
The following steps outline the binding process:
• Confirm the process of entering the bind mode for
your chosen transmitter by reviewing the instruction
manual included with the transmitter.
• Make sure the flight battery is disconnected from
the receiver unit and the transmitter is turned off.
• Plug the bind plug into the Batt/Bind port on the
AR500 receiver.
• Plug the flight battery into the battery lead of the
ESC. The LED on the receiver unit will begin
flashing.
Note:
NEVER plug the balance lead of the battery
directly into the receiver. This will cause damage to
the receiver and battery.
• After verifying the LED is flashing on the receiver,
follow the steps that allow your chosen transmitter
to enter bind mode.
• If you entered bind mode correctly, you will see a
solid LED approximately 5–10 seconds later on the
receiver. You should now be bound to the
transmitter, and have full control and function.
If you encounter any problems, repeat the binding
process again, see the troubleshooting guide or call the
Horizon Support Team at 1-877-504-0233.
