Binding Procedure / Switching OFF SAFE Select

I

MPORTANT: 

The included AR636 receiver has been programmed for operation 

specifically 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 (flight 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, then connect the flight battery to the ESC. 

The ESC will produce a series of sounds. Three flat tones followed immediately 

by two ascending tones confirm that the LVC is set correctly for the ESC. 

The orange bind LED on the receiver will begin to flash rapidly. DO NOT 

remove the bind plug at this time.

5.  Take three 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 specific 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 produce a series of sounds. Three flat 

tones followed immediately by two 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 settings for that trans-

mitter 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 office.

* Failsafe 

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 flight.
