3. With the steering wheel, and throttle trigger in the desired preset
failsafe positions (generally full brake and neutral steering), initiate the
bind process with your Spektrum transmitter. This stores the failsafe
positions. Continue to hold the failsafe positions until the binding
process is complete. Please see the next section for more information
about failsafe.
4. The LED on the receiver should now be solid, indicating a successful
bind has taken place.
5. Once the bind process is complete and before power is cycled on the
receiver, remove the bind plug and store it in a convenient place. Failure to
remove the bind plug will result in the receiver going back into bind mode.
The only time it is necessary to do a rebind is if different failsafe positions
are desired e.g., servo travel has been reversed after the initial bind, or if
the receiver is to be bound to a different model memory.
Failsafe
Failsafe positions are set during binding. In the unlikely event that the
radio link is lost during use, the receiver will drive the servos to their
preprogrammed failsafe positions (normally full brakes and straight
steering). If the receiver is turned on prior to turning on the transmitter, the
receiver will enter failsafe mode, driving the servos to their preset failsafe
positions. When the transmitter is turned on, normal control is resumed.

Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
The system
will not
connect
Your transmitter and re-
ceiver are too close together
Move transmitter 8 to 12
feet from receiver
You are around metal
objects
Move to an area with less
metal
The model selected is not
the model bound to
Check model selected
and ensure you are bound
to that model
Your transmitter was
accidentally put into bind
mode and is no longer
bound to your receiver
Rebind your transmitter
and receiver
