3. With the steering wheel, throttle trigger and Aux channel (if applicable) 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 receiver
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 en-
sure 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
