UMX Gee Bee R-2 Manual

Instruction Manual

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

/DSMX

technology equipped

aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.

Any Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the AS3X

DSM

receiver. For optimal performance, use a transmitter

with exponential and dual rates.



Binding Procedure

1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver.

2. Make sure the ﬂight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.

3. Power off the transmitter.

4. 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 at neutral and the throttle and throttle trim are in the 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 become 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.

1. Remove the battery hatch.

2. Attach the flight battery to the hook and loop strip (A)

on the battery tray. See the Adjusting the Center of

Gravity instructions for the battery’s position.

3. Place the aircraft on the ground out of the wind and

connect a fully charged flight battery.

Ensure the aircraft is immobile for 5 seconds

so the AS3X system initializes correctly. See the

Arming the ESC instructions for correct connection of

the battery to the ESC.

4. Install the battery hatch.

NOTICE: If using a different battery than the

recommended 2-Cell 7.4V 200mAh 25C Li-Po, use

hook and loop tape (PKZ1039) to secure the battery.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po

battery from the aircraft receiver when not

ﬂying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries

discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest

approved voltage may become damaged, resulting

in loss of performance and potential ﬁre when

batteries are charged.
