2. Receiver Installation and Binding
The FS-GR3E receiver is compatible with various Flysky transmitters. Ensure your receiver is correctly installed in your RC model and bound to the FS-GT3C transmitter.
- Install the Receiver: Mount the FS-GR3E receiver securely in your RC car or boat, ensuring the antenna is positioned for optimal signal reception and away from metal parts or other electronics that could cause interference.
- Connect Servos/ESC: Connect your steering servo, Electronic Speed Controller (ESC), and any other accessories to the corresponding channels on the FS-GR3E receiver (e.g., CH1 for steering, CH2 for throttle, CH3 for auxiliary functions).
- Binding Process:
- Ensure the transmitter is OFF.
- Insert the binding plug into the 'BIND' port on the FS-GR3E receiver.
- Power on your RC model (which powers the receiver). The receiver's LED should flash rapidly, indicating it's in binding mode.
- While holding down the 'BIND' button on the FS-GT3C transmitter, turn the transmitter ON.
- Release the 'BIND' button on the transmitter once its LCD screen displays 'BIND OK' or the receiver's LED becomes solid.
- Turn off both the transmitter and the RC model.
- Remove the binding plug from the receiver.
- Power on the transmitter first, then the RC model. The receiver's LED should be solid, indicating a successful bind.

Basic Controls
- Steering Wheel: Controls the direction of your RC model. Turn left to steer left, turn right to steer right.
- Throttle Trigger: Controls the speed and direction (forward/reverse) of your RC model. Pull back for forward acceleration, push forward for braking or reverse.
- Channel 3 Switch: Activates auxiliary functions if configured on your RC model.

LCD Menu Navigation
Use the 'ENTER', 'BACK', 'END', 'UP', and 'DOWN' buttons to navigate the LCD menu and adjust settings.
- MODEL: Select or create new model profiles.
- NAME: Edit the name of the selected model.
- REV (Servo Reverse): Reverse the direction of servo movement for steering or throttle.
- E. POINT (End Point Adjuster): Adjust the maximum travel limits for servos.
- TRIM: Fine-tune the neutral position of steering and throttle.
- D/R (Dual Rate): Adjust the sensitivity of steering or throttle.
- EXP (Exponential): Modify the response curve of steering or throttle for smoother control around the center.
- ABS (Auto Brake System): Configure automatic braking functions.
Refer to the detailed on-screen menu for specific parameter adjustments. Always test changes at low speeds in a safe environment.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the transmitter and receiver. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the unit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the battery if storing for extended periods.
- Battery Care: Do not overcharge or completely discharge the Li-ion battery. Follow manufacturer guidelines for battery charging and disposal.
- Antenna: Ensure the transmitter and receiver antennas are not bent or damaged. A damaged antenna can reduce range and signal quality.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to transmitter | Battery not charged or incorrectly installed. | Ensure battery is fully charged and correctly inserted with proper polarity. |
| No control response from RC model | Transmitter and receiver not bound; receiver not powered; incorrect servo/ESC connection. | Perform binding procedure again. Check power supply to receiver. Verify all connections to receiver are correct. |
| Limited control range or intermittent signal | Interference; damaged antenna; low transmitter battery. | Operate in an open area away from other 2.4GHz devices. Check antennas for damage. Recharge transmitter battery. |
| Steering/Throttle operates in reverse | Servo reverse setting is incorrect. | Adjust the 'REV' (Servo Reverse) setting in the transmitter's LCD menu for the affected channel. |
| LCD screen is dim or unresponsive | Low battery; display settings. | Recharge the transmitter battery. Check display contrast/brightness settings in the menu if available. |
