Generally, power on the receiver and press the BIND button (or insert the bind plug). Then, turn on the transmitter. The receiver LED should transition from flashing to solid when pairing is successful. Refer to your specific model's manual for precise steps.
Most HotRC transmitters (like the CT-8A) support multiple battery types, including 4x AA batteries, 2S lithium batteries, or 18650 batteries. Ensure the voltage does not exceed the model's limit (often 9V).
With both units powered on and bound, hold the throttle trigger at the desired fail-safe position (usually neutral or brake). Press the bind button or insert the bind key on the receiver until the LED indicates the setting is saved.
Range varies by model and environment. Typical ground range is approximately 300-400 meters, while water surface range is around 300-500 meters. Air transmitters may have different specifications.
