Battery Charging
IMPORTANT:
The AR636 receiver installed in the Bind-N-Fly aircraft has been
pre-programmed for operation in this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for
correct setup if the receiver is replaced or is used in another aircraft.
For a list of compatible DSM2/DSMX transmitters, please visit
www.bindnfl y.com.
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.
Tip:
A servo extension (PKZ5403, sold separately) may be installed in the
receiver bind port so binding may be done through the battery door in the
bottom of the aircraft.
Failsafe
If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. When
activated, the airplane controls return to the neutral position established during
step 3 of the binding procedure.

Binding Procedure Reference Table
1. Refer to your transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver.
2. Ensure the transmitter is powered off.
3. Make sure the transmitter controls are at neutral, and the throttle is
in the low position and the aircraft is immobile. *
4. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
5. Connect the fl ight battery to the ESC. The ESC will produce a series
of sounds. One long tone, then three short tones confi rm that the
LVC is set for the ESC.
6. The receiver LED will begin to fl ash rapidly.
7. Power on the transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button
or switch.
8. When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the light on the receiver
will turn solid and the ESC will produce a series of three ascending
tones. The tones indicate the ESC is armed, provided the throttle
stick and throttle trim are low enough to trigger arming.
9. Remove the bind plug from the bind port.
10. Safely store the bind plug.
11. The receiver should retain the binding instructions received from
the transmitter until another binding is done.
* The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the
lowest position. If you encounter problems, follow the binding instructions
and refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If
needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support offi ce.

Battery Charging Process
NOTICE:
Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not
damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g.,
swollen, bent, broken or punctured.
1. Attach the charger to the appropriate power supply (12V accessory
outlet).
2. Connect the Balancing Lead of the battery to the charger connector.
3. Charge the included battery for approximately 1 hr (the LED fl ashes
during charging, then turns solid when charging is complete).
4. Always disconnect the battery from the charger immediately upon
completion of charging.
CAUTION
: Overcharging a battery can cause a fi re.
CAUTION
: Only use a charger specifi cally designed to charge a Li-Po
battery. Failure to do so could result in fi re causing injury or property damage.
CAUTION
: Never exceed the recommended charge rate.
NOTICE:
If using a battery other than the included Li-Po battery, refer to your
battery manufacturer’s instructions for charging.
Refer to the charging warnings. It is recommended to charge the battery while
you inspect the aircraft. The fl ight battery will be required to confi rm proper
aircraft operation in future steps.
This Charger may be connected to a 1.5A AC Power Supply (US Only,
HBZ1004), sold separately.
