Binding is the Process of teaching 
the receiver the specific transmitter’s 
code called GUID (Globally Unique 
Identifier) and storing failsafe values. 
When a receiver is bound to a trans-
mitter/model memory, the receiver 
will only respond to that specific 
transmitter/model memory (see 
ModelMatch for more information).

FAIlSAFE

The throttle failsafe position is set during binding. In the unlikely 
event that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will drive 
the the throttle servo to its pre-Programmed failsafe position  
(normally full brakes) and all other channels will have no  
servo output. If the receiver is turned on prior to turning on  
the transmitter, the receiver will enter the failsafe mode,  
driving the throttle servo to its preset failsafe position. When  
the transmitter is turned on, normal control is resumed. 

IMPORTANT:

 Failsafe activates only in the event that signal is 

lost from the transmitter. Failsafe will NOT activate in the event 
that receiver battery power decreases below the recommended 
minimums or power to the receiver is lost.
The Bind Screen shows the active model and supports binding 
the active model memory to a receiver.

BIND ThE TRANSMITTER TO ThE RECEIvER

1. 

Insert a bind plug in the receiver’s BIND port.

2. 

Power on the receiver and wait until the receiver  
LED begins flashing.

3. 

Power on the transmitter.

4. 

Select the Model Memory you wish to bind to.

5. 

Select Bind from the List menu. 

6. 

Move the throttle channel to the desired failsafe position. 

IMPORTANT:

 The throttle channel must stay in the failsafe 

position until binding is complete.

7. 

Scroll to Bind and press the Rolling Selector. The orange  
LED flashes on top of the transmitter.

8. 

When the bind process is complete, the transmitter and 
receiver LEDs stop flashing and turn solid orange.

NOTICE:

 Always remove the bind plug from the receiver  

when the bind Process is complete. Failure to do so will  
cause the receiver to enter bind mode the next time  
you power on the receiver.

9. 

Remove the bind plug from the receiver and keep it in  
a convenient place. 

BINDING

For compatiblity with all types of ser-
vos, three frame rates are available. 

5.5ms

   Gives the fastest response 

rate and is only compatible with with 
the SR2000 DSMR receiver and 
DSM2 receivers.  Digital servos  
must be used with this frame rate. 

IMPORTANT: 

When 5.5ms frame  

rate is selected, only two channels 
(steering and throttle) are operational.

11ms

   Offers good response rates 

and is compatible with most digital 
and analog servos (this is the default 

position). Works with DSMR, DSM and DSM2 surface receivers. 

16.5ms

   This is the least responsive rate and is needed  

for older analog servos. Works with both DSM and DSM2  
surface receivers.

22ms

   This frame rate works with both DSMR and  

Marine receivers.

IMPORTANT: 

You should always use the fastest response rate 

the servos can handle. This gives the lowest latency and fast-
est response. If the frame rate is incompatible with the servo, 
the servo will move erratically or, in some cases, not at all. If  
this occurs, change the frame rate to the next highest value.

•  In the List screen, use the roller to highlight  

the Frame Rate function.

•  Press the roller to access.
•  Rotate the roller to select and highlight Frame Rate,  

at the bottom of the screen.

•  Press the roller to highlight the Frame Rate function.  

The box will flash. Rotate the roller to select the frame rate.
