2.
Hold down the Bind button B for about 3 seconds.
3.
Release button B when the red Receiver Status light starts to flash.
4.
If a satellite receiver is used, power cycle the receiver at this point by removing power and applying it
again. Both the receiver status light and the satellite light will then flash.
5.
Proceed to bind to the transmitter in the normal way (see transmitter instructions).
6.
Bind is complete when the red Receiver Status light (and satellite light, if connected) are solid.
Binding Using a Bind Plug
(The traditional, older Spektrum
™
method)
1.
With receiver power OFF, place a bind plug on the channel 10 pins.
2.
Power ON receiver (with satellite receiver connected, if used).
3.
The red Receiver Status light and satellite, if connected, will start to flash.
4.
Proceed to bind the transmitter in the normal way (see transmitter instructions).
5.
Bind is complete when the red Receiver Status light (and satellite light, if connected) are solid.
6.
Don
’t forget to remove the bind plug.
The receiver is now ready for use with stabilization inactive; however adding User-set failsafe is recommended.
Step 3: Setting Failsafe
No-pulse mode is the default response of the receiver as supplied if signal is lost for approximately 1 second or
more. The receiver ceases to send pulses on any channel. Servos stay in their current positions, while the ESC,
after a brief delay, will normally shut down power to the motor.

By contrast, the User-set failsafe option causes the receiver on loss of signal to send a pre-set value to each of
the servos and the ESC.
No-pulse failsafe is adequate for most electric powered models. User-set failsafe is often preferred, however.
To activate User-set Failsafe, proceed as follows:
1.
Power ON the transmitter. Set sticks and switches to the positions required on loss of signal.
2.
Power ON the receiver.
3.
After 3 seconds
but within 60 seconds
of powering ON the receiver, press and hold Failsafe button F.
4.
Release button F when the green Setup LED turns ON, showing that the receiver has registered the
failsafe values.
5.
Test failsafe (carefully) by turning off the transmitter (on the bench, not in flight!).
The receiver will retain the failsafe values until the procedure is repeated or the receiver is reset.
To cancel User-set Failsafe:
1.
Power ON the receiver. If User-set Failsafe is active, the green Setup light will be ON.
2.
After 3 seconds but within 60 seconds of power ON, press and hold button F.
3.
Release button F when the green Setup LED turns OFF, indicating No-pulse mode.
Setup, if you are not wanting to use the stabilization function, is now complete.
Just a check: stabilization is
not
active if the red programming LEDs R1, R2 and R3 shown in the
diagram under
on page 5 are
not
lit. This is how the receiver is delivered.

Some ESCs may behave differently; be sure to test yours.
