Binding Procedure / Switching OFF SAFE Select
IMPORTANT: The included AR636B receiver has been programmed for
operation 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. Move the transmitter controls to neutral (fl ight controls: rudder, elevators and
ailerons) or to low positions (throttle, throttle trim). *
2. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
3. Place the aircraft level on its wheels, then connect the fl ight battery to the
ESC. The motor will produce a series of sounds.
The orange bind LED on the receiver will begin to fl ash rapidly. DO NOT
remove the bind plug at this time.
4. Take three steps away from the aircraft /receiver and then put the transmitter in
bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for specifi c binding instructions.
IMPORTANT: Do not point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the receiver while binding.
IMPORTANT: Keep away from large metal objects while binding.
5. The receiver is bound to the transmitter when the orange bind light on the
receiver stays orange. The ESC will produce a series of sounds. The tones
indicate the ESC is armed, provided the throttle stick and throttle trim are low
enough to trigger arming.
6. Remove the bind plug from the bind port.
IMPORTANT: Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that
transmitter until it has been intentionally changed, even when power is cycled
ON and OFF. Repeat the binding process as necessary.
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 problems are encountered, follow the binding instructions and
refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed,
contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support offi ce.

If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. When activated, failsafe moves the throttle channel to its preset
failsafe position (low throttle) that was set during binding. All other channels move to actively level the aircraft in fl ight.
