Bind the Receiver to the Transmitter
For proper operation it’s necessary to “bind” the Tx and Rx together electronically. This ensures sole communication between
the two, and prevents other transmitters from being able to control the receiver.
1. Turn on the Tx.
2. Apply power to the Rx.
3. If the Rx LED fl ashes once and then stays on, the Rx is already bound to the Tx and you can skip to the next section.
Otherwise, insert a small diameter screwdriver through the hole marked “BIND” and press the pushbutton until the
Rx LED glows red and then turns off after about one second.
4. Release the “BIND” button.
5. If the binding is successful, the Rx LED will fl ash once and then remain ON.
6. Test for proper Tx / Rx functionality before use. If the radio doesn’t appear to have become properly bound, repeat
steps 1– 5 above.
Failsafe Function
The included TR624 receiver has a failsafe feature which engages in the event that the radio signal from the transmitter
somehow becomes interrupted. If radio contact is broken, this safety feature causes the servos to automatically move either
to a certain position, or hold their last position to prevent the model from moving in an erratic manner. Channels 1, 2, 4, 5,
and 6 will enter a “hold” mode, whereby the servos will lock in their last recognized position.
The servo connected to channel 3, normally being the throttle control, will move to a pre-set position. The factory default
failsafe position for channel 3 is to move to 0% throttle. Motor/prop movement should stop if the receiver loses signal from
the transmitter. The throttle servo’s failsafe position can be manually re-set to any other position if desired, as follows:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before manually resetting the failsafe, make sure the servo reversing switches are in the correct
position for the application.
1. Apply power to the Tx and Rx.
2a. If using an ESC, do NOT arm the ESC. Do NOT attempt to adjust the throttle’s failsafe position if the ESC is armed.
2b. If using a gas or glow powered engine, do NOT attempt to adjust the throttle’s failsafe position while the engine is
operating.
3. Move the Tx throttle stick to the desired position for the throttle control to move if the Rx goes to failsafe.
4. Press and hold the “Bind” button on the receiver, and the Rx’s LED should blink twice. Release the Bind button, and
the receiver’s LED should turn on (stop fl ashing). The Tx and Rx should now be bound, with the throttle failsafe in
the new position as set above.
NOTE: If you’re using an ESC which has a signal loss feature, the pre-set failsafe position is irrelevant as the signal loss
feature will cease the throttle operation if the signal is lost.
