AR6300 Binding Instructions
Note
: The AR6300 receiver is designed for 3D Foamie and Slow Flyer
aircraft only. While the AR6300 receiver has more than adequate range for
these types of aircraft, it is imperative that it not be used in larger aircraft
that could exceed its operational range.
IMPORTANT
: The AR6300 features DSM2
™
second-generation Spektrum
technology and is not compatible with the DX6 parkflyer radio. The AR6300
is only compatible with Spektrum aircraft transmitters that support DSM2
technology, like the DX7and aircraft module systems.
Binding
Before using the AR6300, it’s necessary to bind the receiver to the desired
transmitter (or specific model memory if ModelMatch
™
is available).
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the specific
transmitter you wish to use. During binding, the receiver learns the specific
transmitter’s code (GUID) and, when bound, the receiver will only respond to its
bound transmitter, ignoring all other types of interfering signals. During binding
the failsafe positions are stored (see SmartSafe
™
below).
Note
: Receivers can be re-bound at any time, allowing them to be used
with other transmitters or to store different failsafe positions.
How to Bind
With the power off, short the bind pins together with tweezers, hemostat or small
needle-nose pliers.
Power on the receiver. If the receiver is installed in an electric aircraft, turn on the
speed controller to power up the receiver. If the receiver is going to be powered
by a separate battery, plug the battery into any unused port. The amber light will
blink, indicating the AR6300 is in bind mode.
Position the transmitter’s control sticks and switches in the desired failsafe
positions (normally low throttle and all other controls at neutral).
POWER
Press and hold the bind button on the back of the transmitter while turning on
the transmitter. The button will flash for several seconds, then the LED on the
transmitter and receiver will remain solid on, indicating a successful bind.

ModelMatch
Some Spektrum transmitters (such as the DX7) offer a feature (patent pending)
called ModelMatch. ModelMatch prevents the possibility of operating a
model using the wrong model memory, potentially preventing a crash. With
ModelMatch each model memory has its own unique code (GUID) and during
the binding process the code is programmed into the receiver. Later, when
the system is turned on, the receiver will only connect to the transmitter if the
corresponding model memory is programmed on the screen.
Note
: If at any time you turn on the system and it fails to connect, check to
be sure the correct model memory is selected in the transmitter.
SmartSafe
Your AR6300 features SmartSafe failsafe programming. SmartSafe prevents
accidental motor operation before the system connects and, in the unlikely
event of signal loss, SmartSafe drives the throttle to a preset (off) position. With
SmartSafe, if the receiver is turned on before the transmitter, all channels but
throttle will go to their failsafe position stored during binding, while the throttle
channel will not generate a pulse so as to not arm the electronic speed control.
After the system is connected, if loss of signal occurs, the throttle will be driven
to a preset failsafe position, normally low throttle (set during binding) while all
other channels will hold their last known position.
Range Check
Before each flying session and especially with a new model, it is important to
perform a range check. Follow the procedures as outlined in the radio
instruction manual.
