BIndIng

Failsafe
In the unlikely event the radio connection is lost during use, the
receiver will reduce the throttle to idle. The steering channel holds the
last input command. If you power on the receiver before powering on
the transmitter, the receiver enters failsafe mode with throttle at idle.
When you power on the transmitter, normal control resumes.
Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit
to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single
specific transmitter. The included transmitter and receiver are bound
at the factory. If you need to rebind, follow the instructions below.
1. Power off the transmitter and ESC.
2. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the ESC.
3. Power on the ESC.
4. Remove the front cover. Press the bind button (a) on
the receiver. The RED LED on the receiver flashes rapidly.
5. Power on the transmitter.
6. The RED LED on the receiver turns solid when
the system is bound. Replace the front cover.
