Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID
(Globally Unique Identifi er) code of a single specifi c transmitter. You need to “bind”your chosen
Spektrum
TM
DSM®
technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.
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.

Binding Procedure Reference Table
1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver.
2. Make sure the fl ight battery is disconnected from the airplane.
3. Power off the transmitter.
4. Connect the fl ight battery to the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin to fl ash (typically after 5
seconds).
5. Make sure transmitter controls are neutral and that throttle and throttle trim are in low position.
6. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or
switch instructions.

Arming the ESC also occurs after binding
as previously described, but subsequent
connection of a fl ight battery requires the
following steps.
CAUTION:
Always keep hands away
from propeller. When armed, the
motor will turn the propeller in response to
any throttle movement.
