Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier)
code of a single specific transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum
™
DSM2/DSMX technology
equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.
Any full range Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the DSM2/DSMX receiver. Please visit www.
bindnfly.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
Binding Procedure
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. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s
Bind control).
2. Make sure the flight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.
3. Power off your transmitter.
4. Set the aircraft upright on its wheels and connect the flight battery in the aircraft. The receiver
LED will begin to flash rapidly (typically after 5 seconds)
5. Make sure the transmitter controls are neutral and the throttle and throttle trim are in low position.
6. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or
switch instructions.
7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will turn solid, indicating that the receiver is bound
to the transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the back of
the manual.
For subsequent flights, power ON the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the flight battery.
SAFE
®
Select Technology
The evolutionary SAFE
®
Select technology can offer an extra level of protection so you can perform the
first flight with confidence. No complex transmitter programming is required. Just simply flip your GEAR
switch to position 1 (Channel 5) to make the SAFE Select system active. Flip the Gear switch back to
turn OFF SAFE Select and fly with just the assistance of AS3X.
When activated, bank and pitch limitations keep you from over-controlling and automatic self-leveling
makes recovery from risky or confusing attitudes as simple as releasing the sticks. In fact, with the aileron,
elevator and rudder sticks in the neutral position, SAFE Select will automatically keep the airplane in a
straight and level attitude.
Expand the advantage of what SAFE
®
Select technology offers by assigning it to a switch. No transmitter
programming is required and you’ll be able to turn the system ON and OFF with the flip of a switch. For ex-
ample, turn SAFE select ON for takeoffs for worry free takeoffs. Turn it OFF in flight for unrestricted aerobatic
performance, and turn it back ON when a buddy wants to try out your cool aircraft. Turn SAFE Select ON for
landings, SAFE Select reduces your work load by compensating for pitch changes automatically, regard-
less of throttle position. It will help keep the correct pitch attitude and wings level during the final approach.
Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, SAFE Select can make your flights a great experience.
When the SAFE Select system is turned OFF it leaves the specially tuned AS3X
®
technology in place to
deliver a pure, unrestricted flight experience.
