3.2. Binding Procedure (Transmitter and Receiver Pairing)

All receivers are already paired with their respective transmitter during production. If you wish to bind it with another transmitter, please follow these instructions. Remark: FS - brand system is not compatible with other brands.

Figure 4: Step-by-step visual guide for binding the FS-GT2E transmitter with the FS-A3 receiver, showing the connection of the bind plug and battery to the receiver, and the location of the bind button on the transmitter.
  1. Ensure you are using an AFHDS2A system.
  2. Correctly install the battery inside the 2.4G transmitter without powering it on.
  3. Insert the binding plug into the BIND channel slot on the receiver.
  4. Using a correct receiver battery pack, plug it into the VCC channel slot on the receiver. At this time, the LED on the receiver should flash, indicating the receiver has entered bind status.
  5. Press and hold the binding button on the transmitter, and then switch on the transmitter.
  6. Observe the LED light on the receiver. If the LED stops flashing and stays lit permanently, the binding procedure is completed. (This process takes approximately 5 seconds).
  7. Release the binding button on the transmitter, and unplug the bind cable from the receiver.
  8. Install the servos to test.
  9. If the system does not work properly, repeat the procedure.

Note: The above binding instruction is only suitable for any FLYSKY 2.4G products.

4. Basic Operations

4.1. Power On/Off Sequence

Figure 5: Visual guide for the correct power-on and shut-down sequence of the transmitter and receiver.

Power On:

  1. Connect all components (servos, ESC) to the receiver.
  2. Ensure the transmitter batteries are fully charged.
  3. Make sure the receiver is off.
  4. Move the transmitter's power switch to its ON position.
  5. Connect the power supply to the receiver. The receiver's LED should be solid to indicate it is connected.

Power Off:

  1. Disconnect the receiver power.
  2. Hold the transmitter's power button to turn off the transmitter.

Important: Make sure to disconnect the receiver's power before turning off the transmitter. If you turn off the transmitter forcefully (by removing the battery), it may lead to unintended operation and cause an accident.

4.2. Steering and Throttle Control

Figure 6: Visual representation of how to control steering and throttle using the FS-GT2E transmitter. Steering is controlled by rotating the wheel, and throttle by pulling or pushing the trigger.

Steering Control: This function controls the direction of your RC vehicle. When the steering wheel is turned to the right, the front wheels will turn right. When the steering wheel is turned to the left, the front wheels will turn left.

Throttle Control: This function controls the speed and movement of your RC vehicle. When you pull the throttle trigger back, the car will accelerate forward. When you push the throttle trigger forward, the car will brake or reverse (depending on the Electronic Speed Controller settings).

5. Care and Maintenance

  • Keep the transmitter and receiver clean and free from dust and dirt. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
  • Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity.
  • Remove batteries from the transmitter if it will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
  • Store the radio system in a dry, safe place away from children and pets.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the device, as this will void the warranty and may cause damage.

6. Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
No power to transmitterDead or incorrectly installed batteries.Check battery polarity and replace with fresh AA batteries.
Receiver LED flashing/no signalNot bound to transmitter, out of range, or power issue.Perform the binding procedure again. Ensure transmitter is on and within range. Check receiver power connection.
Vehicle not responding to controlsReceiver not powered, servos/ESC not connected correctly, or trim settings are off.Verify receiver power. Check all cable connections to the receiver. Adjust ST.TRIM and TH.TRIM.
Steering/Throttle reversedChannel reverse switch is engaged.Toggle the ST.REV or TH.REV switch to the correct position.
Limited steering angleSteering Dual Rate (ST.D/R) is set too low.Adjust the ST.D/R knob to increase the steering throw.
Bright status lightsNormal operation, but can be distracting.Consider applying a few layers of masking tape or using a sharpie to dull the lights if they are too bright.
