TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
BINDING
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize
theGUID(GloballyUniqueIdentier)codeofasinglespecic
transmitter. The DX2E and SR201 receiver are bound at the
factory. If you need to rebind, follow the instructions below.
1. With the receiver off, insert the bind plug into the BIND
port on the receiver.
2. Power the receiver through any other port. The orange LED
will flash continuously, indicating the receiver is in bind mode.
3.Withthesteeringwheelandthrottletriggerinthefailsafe
positions, normally full brakes and straight steering (see the
Failsafe section on this page for more information), press and
hold the bind button and turn on the transmitter. The green
LED on the front of the transmitter will flash within three
seconds, indicating the transmitter is in bind mode.
4. Release the bind button when the green LED flashes.
Continue to hold the steering wheel and throttle trigger in the
failsafe positions until the LED on the receiver glows solid.
5. The LED on the receiver will glow solid when the transmitter
and receiver are bound.
6. Remove the bind plug and store it in a convenient place.
You must rebind when:

• Bindingthereceivertoadifferenttransmitter.
SomeSpektrumreceivers,liketheSR3001,useabindbutton
rather than a bind plug. The binding process is the same with
this receiver, however, instead of inserting the plug before
powering up the receiver, press and hold the bind button
while powering up the receiver to enter bind mode.
FAILSAFE
In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the
receiver will drive the servos to their preprogrammed failsafe
positions (normally full brakes and straight steering). If the
receiver is turned on prior to turning on the transmitter, the
receiver will enter failsafe mode, driving the servos to their
preset failsafe positions. When the transmitter is turned on,
normal control is resumed. Failsafe servo positions are set
during binding (see binding a receiver above).
