Transmitter and Receiver Binding



Binding Procedure

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.

1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s

Bind control).

2. Make sure the ﬂ ight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.

3. Power off your transmitter.

4. Connect the ﬂ ight battery in the aircraft. Keep the plane immobile for 5 seconds. The receiver LED

will begin to ﬂ ash rapidly (typically after 5 seconds).

5. Make sure the transmitter controls are neutral and the throttle and throttle trim are in low position.

6. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or switch

instructions.

7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will turn solid, indicating that the receiver is bound

to the transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the back of
the manual.

For subsequent ﬂ ights, power on the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the ﬂ ight battery.
