Binding

The transmitter is bound to the model at the factory. If 
for any reason the model needs to be re-bound, follow 
the directions below.

The Binding Process

1.  With the transmitter and quadcopter powered off, 

connect the battery to the 350 QX2.

2.  With the 350 QX2 on a level surface, turn on the 

power switch and allow the quadcopter to initialize.

3.  Wait until the blue LED on the quadcopter fl ashes 

rapidly, signaling the quadcopter is initialized and 
ready to bind.

4.  Ensure the throttle is in the low position. Hold the 

control sticks in the desired bind position
(see illustrations) and press and hold the bind but-
ton, then power on the transmitter.

5.  Refer to the Flying LED Codes table to ensure the 

aircraft is bound correctly.

IMPORTANT:

 Do not attempt to bind with more than 

one bind code. Binding with more than one bind code 
will only allow the aircraft to bind normally.
Unless binding with a bind code, the elevator and 
aileron inputs must be neutral during binding. If you 
are attempting a normal bind with any input other than 
neutral, the aircraft will emit a constant, rapid beeping 
sound.
