4. Follow the procedures of your specific transmitter to enter Bind Mode, the

system will connect within a few seconds. Once connected, the LED on the

receiver will go solid indicating the system is connected.

5. Remove the bind plug from the BIND/DATA port on the receiver before you

power off the transmitter and store it in a convenient place.

6. After you’ve set up your model, it’s important to rebind the system so the

true low throttle and neutral control surface positions are set.

NOTICE: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind

mode the next time the power is turned on.

Failsafe functions
The Receiver features two types of failsafe: SmartSafe and Preset Failsafe.
SmartSafe
This type of failsafe is recommended for most types of aircraft. Here’s how

SmartSafe works.
When the transmitter and receiver are turned on the receiver connects to the

transmitter and normal control of all channels occurs. If loss of signal occurs,

SmartSafe drives the throttle servo only to its preset failsafe position (low

throttle) that was set during binding. All other channels hold their last position.

When the signal is regained, the system immediately regains control.
Preset Failsafe
Preset failsafe is ideal for sailplanes and is preferred by some modelers

for their glow- and gas-powered aircraft.
When the transmitter and receiver are turned on and the receiver connects to

the transmitter normal control of all channels occurs. If loss of signal occurs

Preset failsafe drives all servos to their preset failsafe positions. For sailplanes

it’s recommended that the spoilers/flaps deploy to de-thermalize the aircraft,

preventing a flyaway. Some powered modelers prefer to use this failsafe system

to program a slight turn and low throttle to prevent their aircraft from flying

away. When the signal is regained, the system immediately regains control.
Programming SmartSafe
During the binding process the bind plug is left in throughout the process

and is removed only after the receiver connects to the transmitter. After the

connection is made, confirmed by operating the servos, the bind plug can be

removed. The receiver is now programmed for SmartSafe.
