Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single
specific transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum
™
DSM2/DSMX technology equipped aircraft transmitter to
the receiver for proper operation. Any full range Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the DSM2/DSMX receiver.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
Binding Procedure
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. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).
2. Make sure the flight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.
3. Power off your transmitter.
4. Set the aircraft upright on its wheels and connect the flight battery in the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin
to flash rapidly (typically after 5 seconds)
5. Make sure the transmitter controls are neutral and the throttle and throttle trim are in low position.
6. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or switch instructions.
7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will turn solid, indicating that the receiver is bound to the
transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the back of the manual.
For subsequent flights, power ON the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the flight battery.

Select Technology
The evolutionary SAFE
®
Select technology can offer an extra level of protection so you can perform the first flight
with confidence. No complex transmitter programming is required. Just simply flip your GEAR switch to position 1
(Channel 5) to make the SAFE Select system active. Flip the Gear switch back to turn OFF SAFE Select and fly with just
the assistance of AS3X
®
technology.
When activated, bank and pitch limitations keep you from over-controlling and automatic self-leveling makes recovery
from risky or confusing attitudes as simple as releasing the sticks. In fact, with the aileron, elevator and rudder sticks in
the neutral position, SAFE Select will automatically keep the airplane in a straight and level attitude.
