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.
