6. If you entered bind mode correctly, you will see a solid LED
approximately 5 to10 seconds later on the receiver/ESC unit.
You should now be bound to the transmitter and have full control
and function.
Additional Smartbind ™ Information
Prior to each flight, you should ensure that you power on your trans-
mitter and wait about 5 seconds before you plug in the flight battery
into the receiver. Doing this allows time for the transmitter to scan
and secure two open frequencies. If the flight battery is plugged in too
quickly and the link is missed, it may cause the receiver to inadver-
tently enter bind mode. If this occurs, simply leave the transmitter on
and then disconnect and reconnect receiver power (flight battery).
Should you encounter any problems, repeat the binding process again
or call the Horizon Support Team at 1-877-504-0233.
Step 2
Charging the Aircraft Battery
The included charger uses unique circuitry that ensures an accurate
charge for the 3.7V 70mAh battery pack every time. It also protects
the battery from being overcharged, which can damage the battery
pack. The charger sequence begins with charging at constant current,
then later switches to constant voltage.
To charge your ParkZone 3.7V 70mAh battery:
1. Remove the cover and install
four of the included AA
batteries in the charger base,
noting proper polarity. Replace
the cover when done.
2. Slide the battery into the
charge slot on the display
stand.
3. Gently press the battery into the charging jack in the bottom
of the slot, with the battery label facing outward. It is very
important to note proper polarity to avoid damaging the battery.
The LED light on the base will turn solid red.
4. The battery will charge in approximately 20 minutes when
nearly depleted.
5. As the battery nears full charge, the LED will begin to blink. When
fully charged, the LED will blink once every 20 seconds.
6. You can expect to be able to charge the flight battery about
15–20 times before it will become necessary to replace the 4
AA batteries. Replacing with alkaline batteries will extend the AA
battery life.
