BINDING THE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER
Your FTX transmitter will come ready bound to the vehicle directly
from the factory. However should you need to rebind the radio to the
vehicle please follow these simple instructions:
Always store your model with the battery pack unplugged and removed.
Always charge your battery away from the vehicle. The included 300mAh USB
charger will take approx 45 minutes to charge a fully discharged battery, but
always remove it from the charger if it becomes warm to the touch. Always
disconnect the charger from the mains supply and the battery pack when
not in use. Keep children away from charger and battery during the charging
process.
HOW TO REBIND TRANSMITTER TO VEHICLE:
If your vehicle loses it’s signal from the transmitter,
rebind the transmitter to the vehicle:
• Turn off the transmitter, and power on the chassis via
power switch, then LED on chassis will flash slowly.
Use the bind key to press twice,
then LED will flash quickly. Power on the transmitter and
the LED will stay solid indicating a successful bind.
Notes on Battery use:
Always allow the battery cool after use, before recharging.
Always inspect the battery before charging.
Any bare wires, split heat shrink or leakage is a sure sign of abuse.
Never attempt to charge dead or damaged batteries.
Do not disassemble the battery or cut the connector wires.
If the battery connector gets hot enough to melt there is most likely a serious
problem with your model, driveline, battery wires or speed controller. Find and
correct the problem before installing another charged battery pack.
NEVER charge the battery unattended incase of overcharging,
you need to be able to monitor the battery during charging.
Charge away from flammable objects and on a non-flammable surface incase
the battery becomes too hot.
