Problem Possible Cause Solution
Aircraft will not Bind
(during binding) to transmitter
Transmitter too near aircraft during binding process
Move powered transmitter a few feet from
the aircraft, disconnect and reconnect the fl ight
battery to the aircraft
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large
metal object Move the aircraft or transmitter away from the
large metal object
The bind plug is not installed correctly
in the bind port Install bind plug in bind port and bind the aircraft
to the transmitter
Flight battery/Transmitter battery charge
is too low
Replace/recharge batteries
Aircraft will not link
(after binding) to transmitter
Transmitter too near aircraft during linking
process
Move powered transmitter a few feet from air-
craft, disconnect and reconnect fl ight battery to
aircraft
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large
metal object Move the aircraft or transmitter away from the
large metal object
Bind plug left installed in bind port
Rebind transmitter to the aircraft and remove the
bind plug before cycling power
Aircraft bound to different model memory
(ModelMatch™ radios only)
Select correct model memory on transmitter
Flight battery/Transmitter battery charge
is too low
Replace/recharge batteries
Transmitter may have been bound using different
DSM protocol
Bind aircraft to transmitter
Damaged remote receiver or receiver extension Required remote receiver is not connected
The receiver goes into failsafe
mode a short distance away
from the transmitter
Check the receiver antenna to be sure it is not cut
or damaged
Replace or contact Horizon Product Support
Main and remote receivers too near each other
Install main and remote receivers at least 2
inches (51mm) apart
Receiver quits
responding during operation
Low battery voltage Completely recharge fl ight battery
Loose or damaged wires or connectors
between battery and receiver
Do a check of the wires and connection between
battery and receiver. Repair or replace wires and/
or connectors
Receiver loses its bind Bind button pressed before transmitter powered on Rebind by performing binding instructions
Receiver slowly blinking at
landing (DSM2 Only)
Loss of power to the receiver during flight Check battery voltage
System powered on and connected, then receiver
powered off without powering off transmitter Power off transmitter when receiver is
powered off
Flight log registers undesir-
able number of fades, losses
or holds or aircraft responds
irregularly to controls
Poor signal reception
Reposition remote receivers for improved RF
signal path diversity
Electronic feedback
Check for and stop feedback from servos or mo-
tor systems to the ESC or receiver
Low power
Check aircraft power draw and increase battery
power or decrease power demand by installed
systems. Ensure all aircraft batteries are fully
charged. Ensure the installed BEC for an electric
aircraft is adequate for the power demand
