IMPORTANT: Do not use amplified Y-harnesses and servo extensions with

Spektrum equipment. Only use standard non-amplified Y-harnesses and servo

extensions. When converting existing models to Spektrum technology, replace all

amplified Y-harnesses and/or servo extensions with conventional non-amplified

versions.

Binding
You must bind the receiver to the transmitter before the receiver will operate.

Binding teaches the receiver the specific code of the transmitter, so it will only

connect to that transmitter.
1. To bind an AR12020 to a DSM2 or DSMX transmitter, insert the bind plug in the

BIND/DATA port on the receiver.

2. Power the receiver. Note the LED on the internal receiver board and all of the

attached receivers should be flashing, indicating the receiver is in bind mode.

3. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to the desired failsafe positions

(low throttle and neutral control positions).

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.
