Binding

In the event the Shark Quad needs to be bound (connected) to

the radio, follow the steps below. The Shark quad can also be

bound to any Fly Sky Compatible transmitter.

Turn on the radio. The LED on the radio will turn green to
indicate that the radio is on.

While holding down the BIND button on the quadcopter, plug

it in. A red LED on the shark’s heart will blink rhythmically. This
means that the aircraft is in binding mode.

Ensuring that the radio is already on, hold down the power button

for 10-15 seconds until the green LED starts to blink quickly. That
puts the radio in binding mode.

With both units in binding mode, the systems should

automatically pair within seconds. The heartbeat of the shark

will change pattern to reflect this, but be advised: it may

happen quickly.

No other indication will show that the radio and quadcopter
are bound. To test the bind, power off the entire system then
turn everything back on. At this point, try testing the ARM

switch on the top right corner of the radio to check to see if

the switches are configured. Flip the arm switch a few times

to see if the quadcopter blades power up. If the propellers

don’t spin up, the switches will need to be configured in
BetaFlight.
