Re-Binding the Transmitter to the Receiver
The Losi
™
DSM
®
radio system included in the Mini-Rock Crawler operates on 2.4GHz, and provides 79 different channels, which
are automatically selected when the transmitter and vehicle are turned on. The communication between the transmitter and
receiver starts in the few seconds after the transmitter and vehicle are both turned on. This is called the “binding process.” The
Losi DSM radio system will not interfere with previous technology radio systems that operate on 27MHz or 75MHz frequencies
and you will not receive any interference from them.
Although set at the factory, below are the steps required to re-bind your transmitter to the receiver should the need arise.
During the bind process there is a unique ID from the transmitter communicated to the receiver to ensure trouble free radio
operation.
Steps to Re-Bind the Receiver to the Transmitter
1. Ensure that the transmitter and vehicle are both turned off.
2. Using the supplied Bind plug (which looks like a standard receiver
plug with a wire loop installed) insert the plug into the receiver
slot labeled “BIND”. Looking down on the receiver this slot would
be below the LED and is the furthest from the LED, or nearest to
the corner of the receiver.
Note: You do not need to remove any of the other plugs
to re-bind.
3. With the Bind plug installed, turn on the vehicle. Notice a blinking
orange LED within the receiver
4. Now you are ready to turn on the transmitter. You should notice
on the back of the transmitter a similar blinking orange LED under
the translucent cover.
5. Both the receiver and transmitter orange LED will stop blinking
and become solid indicating they have “bound” themselves
together.
6. Please turn off both the vehicle and transmitter to remove the
Bind plug from the receiver. Failing to remove the Bind plug will
cause the transmitter to attempt to rebind every time you turn on the vehicle and transmitter.
7. Turn on both the vehicle and transmitter to ensure operation. If the transmitter does not control the vehicle, please
repeat steps 1 to 6. Should this not correct the problem please call Horizon Service/Repair for further assistance.
8. The Bind process is complete. Your vehicle’s radio system should be ready for use.
