4. Setup and Binding
4.1. Installation
Mount the receiver securely in your RC model, ensuring the antenna is positioned away from metal parts and other electronic components for optimal signal reception. The compact size allows for flexible placement.
4.2. Connecting Servos and Power
Connect your servos and other components to the appropriate channels (CH1-CH7) on the receiver. Ensure correct polarity when connecting power to the BVD/VCC interface (3.5-9V DC).

4.3. Binding Procedure
To establish communication between the receiver and your Flysky FS-G7P transmitter (or compatible transmitter), follow these steps:
- Ensure your transmitter is powered off.
- Connect the binding plug (often included with the receiver or transmitter) to the BIND interface on the FS-R7P receiver.
- Apply power to the receiver (e.g., from the ESC or a separate battery). The LED on the receiver should flash rapidly, indicating it is in binding mode.
- While holding the BIND button on your transmitter (refer to your transmitter's manual for exact location), power on the transmitter.
- The LED on the receiver should stop flashing and remain solid, indicating successful binding.
- Release the BIND button on the transmitter, then power off both the receiver and the transmitter.
- Remove the binding plug from the receiver.
- Power on the transmitter first, then the receiver. The receiver LED should be solid, confirming a successful connection.

Note: Always power on your transmitter before the receiver and power off the receiver before the transmitter to prevent unintended model movement.
5. Operation
5.1. Signal Output Modes
The FS-R7P receiver supports various signal output modes:
- PWM (Pulse Width Modulation): Standard servo control signals, available on CH1-CH7.
- PPM (Pulse Position Modulation): A single wire carries all channel data, available from CH1.
- i-BUS/S.BUS: Digital serial communication protocols for advanced setups, supporting channel expansion. Connect to the SERVO interface.
Refer to your flight controller or ESC manual for compatible signal input types and configure your transmitter accordingly.
5.2. Failsafe Function
The failsafe function is crucial for safety. In case of signal loss, the receiver will move all channels to a pre-set position (e.g., throttle to zero, steering to neutral). Consult your transmitter's manual for instructions on setting failsafe positions.
6. Maintenance
- Keep Clean: Regularly clean the receiver with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals.
- Protect from Moisture: The receiver has an IPX4 rating, meaning it is resistant to splashing water. However, avoid submerging it or exposing it to heavy rain.
- Antenna Care: Ensure the antenna is not cut, bent sharply, or damaged. A damaged antenna can significantly reduce range and signal quality.
- Secure Connections: Periodically check all connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Storage: Store the receiver in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Receiver LED not lighting up. | No power or incorrect power connection. | Check power source and ensure correct polarity (3.5-9V DC). |
| Receiver LED flashing rapidly. | Receiver is in binding mode or not bound. | Perform the binding procedure as described in Section 4.3. |
| No control response after binding. |
|
|
| Reduced range or intermittent signal. |
