BINDING
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifi er) code of a single specifi c
transmitter. The DX18 and AR9020 are pre-bound at the factory. You will need to rebind after the model programming is initially
set up to fully program the model’s failsafe positions.

1. Move the throttle stick to the lowest position and power off the
transmitter.
2. Insert the bind plug into the BIND/DATA port on the receiver.
3. Connect a fully charged receiver pack to any open port on the
receiver. The orange LED on the receiver rapidly fl ashes when
the receiver is in bind mode.
4. Press and hold the transmitter bind button while powering the
transmitter on.
5. Release the Bind button when the transmitter screen displays
“Binding”. Binding is complete when the orange transmitter
and receiver LEDs are on solid.
6. Power off the receiver and remove the bind plug.
1. Lower throttle to the lowest position and make sure the
transmitter is powered off.
2. Insert the bind plug into the BIND/DATA port.
3. Insert the ESC plug into the THRO port.
4. Connect battery to ESC and turn on ESC switch, if available.
The receiver’s LED will rapidly fl ash when the receiver is ready
to bind.
5. While pressing the Bind button, power on the transmitter.
6. Release the Bind button after the receiver has stopped fl ashing
rapidly, once the receiver’s LED stays illuminated; this indi-
cates the receiver is bound to the transmitter. The screen also
provides binding information.
7. Remove the bind plug from the receiver.
CAUTION: When using the DX18 with parkfl yer receivers, only use such receivers in parkfl yer-type aircraft (small electric
airplanes or mini and micro helicopters). Installing parkfl yer receivers in larger aircraft could cause signal blocking and
loss of connection.
