EN
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your
chosen Spektrum
™
DSM2
®
/DSMX
®
technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.
Please visit www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
CAUTION: When using a Futaba
®
transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module, you must reverse the throttle channel and rebind. Refer to your Spektrum
module manual for binding and failsafe instructions. Refer to your Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle channel.
Binding Procedure Reference Table
Read the transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).
1.
Make sure the transmitter is powered off.
2.
Move the transmitter controls to neutral (flight controls: rudder, elevators and ailerons) or to low
positions (throttle, throttle trim).**
3.
Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
4. Connect the flight battery to the ESC, then power on the ESC switch. The ESC will produce a series
of sounds. One long tone, then 6 short tones confirm that the LVC is set correctly for the ESC. The
orange bind LED on the receiver will begin to flash rapidly.
5.
Power on the transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button or switch. Refer to your
transmitter’s manual for binding button or switch instructions.
6.
When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the orange bind light on the receiver will turn solid and the
ESC will produce a series of three ascending tones. The tones indicate the ESC is armed, provided the
throttle stick and throttle trim are low enough to trigger arming.
7.
After binding, the 3 LEDs (blue, yellow and red) on the receiver will flash. The flashing indicates the
gain setting for each axis. The quicker the flash, the higher the gain setting. For more information,
refer to the “Initializing the AR635” section in the receiver manual.
8.
Remove the bind plug from the bind port.
9.
Safely store the bind plug (some owners attach the bind plug to their transmitter using two-part loops
and clips).
10.
The receiver should retain the binding instructions received from the transmitter until another binding
is done.
** The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the lowest position. If you encounter problems, follow the binding instructions and refer
to the transmitter Troubleshooting Guide for other instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
