4.2. Binding the Transmitter and Receiver

To establish communication between the FS-G7P transmitter and FS-R7P receiver, follow these binding steps:

1. Ensure both the transmitter and receiver are powered off.
2. Connect the binding plug (not included, typically a jumper) to the BIND interface on the FS-R7P receiver.
3. Power on the receiver. The LED on the receiver should flash, indicating it is in binding mode.
4. While holding down the BIND button on the FS-G7P transmitter (refer to Image 3.1, item 12), power on the transmitter.
5. The LED on the receiver should become solid, indicating successful binding.
6. Power off both the transmitter and receiver. Remove the binding plug from the receiver.
7. Power on the transmitter first, then the receiver. The receiver LED should be solid, confirming a successful connection.

4.3. Initial Configuration

After binding, you may need to configure basic settings:

• Model Selection: Use the transmitter's display and five-way switch to select or create a new model profile. The FS-G7P supports 20 model memory slots.
• Channel Assignment: Assign functions to the various switches and knobs (SW1, VR1, SW3, TR1) as desired for your specific RC model.
• Calibration: Perform throttle and steering calibration if necessary to ensure accurate control response.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Basic Controls

The primary controls for your RC model are the steering wheel (CH1) and the throttle trigger (CH2).

• Steering (CH1): Rotate the handwheel left or right to control the steering of your model.
• Throttle (CH2): Pull the trigger towards you for forward movement and push it away for reverse or braking.

5.2. Advanced Functions

The FS-G7P offers advanced mixing and programming options:

• Mixed Control: Utilize the programmable mixing groups to combine control inputs for complex models. Refer to the transmitter's menu for setting up direction mixing and the five programming mixing groups.
• 4WS Crawler Modes: Access the four dedicated crawler modes for enhanced control of 4-wheel steering vehicles. Adjust mixing amounts as needed for optimal performance.
• Trim Adjustments: Use the TR1 function adjustment to fine-tune steering and throttle neutral positions.
