Spektrum SPMAR600 - Manual (Page 4)

During the first flights of a new airplane, it’s recommended to check the red LED hold indicator.
If it’s flashing, it’s important to optimize the installation (move or reposition antennas) until no hold
occurs. On later flights, the LED Hold Indicator can be used to confirm RF link performance.
Important: Y-Harnesses and Servo Extensions
Do not use amplified Y-harnesses or servo extensions with Spektrum equipment. Use only standard
non-amplified Y-harnesses or servo extensions. When converting an existing model to Spektrum,
replace all amplfied Y-harnesses and/or servo extensions with conventional non-amplified versions.
Plugging in the Leads
Plug the servo leads into the appropriate servo ports in the receiver noting the polarity of the
servo connector.

Binding
You must bind the AR600 receiver to your transmitter before it will operate. Binding teaches the
receiver the specific code of the transmitter so it will only connect to that specific transmitter.
1. To bind an AR600 to a DSM2 transmitter, insert the bind plug in the BATT/BIND port on the receiver.
Note: To bind an aircraft with an electronic speed controller that powers the receiver through the
throttle channel (ESC/BEC), insert the bind plug into the BATT/BIND port in the receiver and the
throttle lead into the THRO port.
2. Power the receiver. Note that the LED on the receiver should be flashing, indicating the receiver is
ready to be bound to the transmitter.
