Transmitter and Receiver Binding
The Blade mCX2 RTF comes bound to the MLP4DSM transmitter included.
The BNF version requires you to bind to your own compatible DSM2
Aircraft Transmitter.
To bind or re-bind your mCX2 to your chosen transmitter please follow the
directions below:
Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize
the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You need to
‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum DSM2 technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the
receiver for proper operation.
Following are some of the Spektrum DSM2-equipped transmitters and modules that
bind to the receiver of your Blade mCX2.
E-flite MLP4DSM E-flite LP5DSM
ParkZone Vapor Transmitter PKZ Ember 2 Transmitter
JR 12X 2.4 JR X9303 2.4
Spektrum DX5e Spektrum DX6i
Spektrum DX7/DX7se
Note: The Spektrum DX6 (SPM2460) is equipped with DSM (not DSM2)
technology and is not compatible with the receiver of the Blade mCX2.
The following steps outline the binding process:
Make sure the flight battery is disconnected from the 5-in-1 unit and the •
transmitter is turned off.
Plug the flight battery into the 5-in-1 unit.•
Plug the flight battery into the 5-in-1 unit. After 5 seconds the LED on the 5-in1 •
unit will begin flashing.
MLP4DSM and ParkZone Vapor/Ember 2 Transmitters
After verifying the LED is flashing on the receiver/5-in-1, PUSH directly down on the
left-hand stick while switching the transmitter on (you will feel a ‘click’ when you push
in on the end of the stick).
After approximately 5–10 seconds the receiver/5-in-1 should be bound to the
transmitter and you should now have full control and function.
LP5DSM
If you decide to use an E-flite LP5DSM transmitter, please position your channel
reversal dip switches as follows.
1. Plug the flight battery into the 5-in-1 unit. After 5 seconds the LED on the 5-in-1
unit will begin flashing.
2. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to the desired failsafe positions
(low throttle and neutral control positions).
3. Turn the transmitter on. The red LED located under the door on the bottom left
front of the transmitter will blink rapidly.
DX5e and DX6i
1. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to the desired failsafe positions
(low throttle and neutral control positions).
2. For the DX5e: Pull and hold the Trainer Switch on the transmitter while turning
the transmitter on. Release the trainer switch once the LEDs on the front of the
transmitter flash.
3. For the DX6i: Pull and hold the Trainer Switch on the transmitter while turning
the transmitter on. Release the trainer switch once “BIND” Flashes on the LCD
screen of the transmitter.
4. After approximately 5–10 seconds the receiver/5-in-1 should be bound to the
transmitter and you should have full control and function.
DX7, DX7se, X9303, or 12X:
1. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to the desired failsafe positions
(low throttle and neutral control positions)
2. Press the bind button on the back of the transmitter while turning the transmitter
on. The bind button on the back of the transmitter will flash. Release the button
after 2–3 seconds.
3. After approximately 5-10 seconds the receiver/5-in-1 should be bound to the
transmitter and you should now have full control and function.
Additional Binding Information
Prior to each flight, power on your transmitter and wait about five seconds before
you plug the flight battery into the receiver. This allows time for the transmitter to
scan and secure two open frequencies. If you plug the flight battery in too quickly and
miss the link, the receiver may inadvertently enter bind mode. If this occurs leave the
transmitter on, then disconnect and reconnect the flight battery.
