Binding Procedure / Switching OFF SAFE Select
IMPORTANT: The included AR636A receiver has been programmed for op-
eration specifi cally 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 (fl 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 fl ight battery to the
ESC, then turn ON the switch.
The ESC will produce a series of sounds. One long tone, then 4,
5 or 6 (factory default) short tones (indicating cell count of the battery)
confi rm that the LVC is set correctly for the ESC. Confi rm the ESC is cor-
rectly programmed for the battery being used (4, 5 or 6 cell LiPo).
The orange bind LED on the receiver will begin to fl 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 specifi c 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 bind-
ing 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.
The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the
lowest position. If you encounter problems, follow the binding instructions
and refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If
needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support offi ce.

SAFE Select ON Indication
Every time the receiver is powered ON the surfaces will cycle back and forth
twice with a slight pause at neutral position to indicate that SAFE Select is
switched ON.
The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the
lowest position. If you encounter problems, follow the binding instructions and
refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed,
contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support offi ce.
*Failsafe
If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. When activated, failsafe moves the throttle channel to its programmed failsafe
position (low throttle) that was set during binding. As with most SAFE technology equipped aircraft, the Carbon-Z Cessna 150 is programmed to enter a descending
turn on activation of failsafe.
