GENERAL BINDING TIPS AND FAILSAFE
- The included receiver has been specifically pro-grammed for operation of this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct setup if the receiver is replaced.
- Keep away from large metal objects while binding.
- Do not point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the receiver while binding.
- The orange LED on the receiver will flash rapidly when the receiver enters bind mode.
- Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that transmitter until you re-bind.
- If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. Failsafe moves the throttle channel to low throttle. Pitch and roll channels move to actively stabilize the aircraft in a descending turn.
- If problems occur, refer to the troubleshooting guide or if needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
BIND THE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER
Binding is the process of program-ming the aircraft receiver with the identification code of the transmitter so the receiver will only connect to that specific transmitter.
To re-bind the transmitter and receiver:
- Power OFF the transmitter.
- Set the throttle stick to the low position and all other controls to neutral.*Ensure the aircraft is immobile.
IMPORTANT: The throttle will only arm if the transmitter throttle control is at the lowest position. - Connect the flight battery to the ESC. The receiver cycles between DSMX and SLT approximately every 20 seconds. The receiver LED is visible with the wing removed.
- Press and hold the bind button (button A) on the trans- mitter while powering ON the transmitter. The receiver LED will glow solid when the receiver and transmitter are bound. The aircraft will initialize and the controls will function normally. Once properly bound, the receiver and transmitter will retain their bind for future flights
Transmitter | LED Pattern |
DSMX | rapid constant flashes |
SLT | 3 rapid flashes, 1 pause (repeat) |
* Failsafe
The receiver stores the position of the transmitter throttle control at the time of binding as the failsafe position. If the receiver should ever lose communication with the transmitter, the failsafe function will activate. Failsafe moves the throttle channel to its preset fail-safe position (low throttle) that was stored during binding. All other control channels move to put the aircraft in a slowly descending circle until radio link is re-established.
