Normal Aircraft Binding (AS3X Only)
IMPORTANT: The included AR636 receiver has been programmed for opera-
tion specically for this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct
setup if the receiver is replaced or is used in another aircraft.
CAUTION: When using a Futaba
®
transmitter with a Spektrum DSM
module, you must reverse the throttle channel and rebind. Refer to
your Spektrum module manual for binding and failsafe instructions. Refer to
your Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle
channel.
1. Make sure the transmitter is powered off.
2. Move the transmitter controls to neutral (ight controls: rudder, elevators
and ailerons) or to low positions (throttle, throttle trim). *
3. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
4. Place the aircraft level on its wheels, connect the ight battery to the
ESC, then turn ON the switch. The ESC will produce a series of sounds.
One long tone, then 3 short tones conrm that the LVC is set correctly
for the ESC.
The orange bind LED on the receiver will begin to ash rapidly. DO NOT
remove the bind plug at this time.
5. Take 3 steps away from the aircraft /receiver and then power ON the
transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button or switch. Refer to
your transmitter’s manual for specic binding instructions.
IMPORTANT: Do not to point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the
receiver while binding.
IMPORTANT: Keep away from large metal objects while binding.
6. The receiver is bound to the transmitter when the orange bind light on
the receiver stays orange. The ESC will also produce a series of three
ascending tones. The tones indicate the ESC is armed, provided the
throttle stick and throttle trim are low enough to trigger arming.
7. Remove the bind plug from the bind port.
IMPORTANT: Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind and last setting
until it has been intentionally changed, even when power is cycled ON and
OFF. However, if you notice that bind has been lost, simply repeat the binding
processs.
SAFE Select OFF Indication
Every time the receiver is powered ON the surfaces will cycle back and forth
once to indicate that SAFE Select has been switched OFF.
IMPORTANT: The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is
not put at the lowest position. If you encounter problems, follow the bind-
ing instructions and refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other
instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support ofce.
