Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver 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. Ensure the transmitter and vehicle are both powered

OFF.

2. Install the bind plug in the BIND/battery port of the

receiver. Power the receiver through any other port.

3. Power ON the vehicle. The receiver LED will blink

green.

4. Stand approximately 8–12 feet (2.4–3.7m) from the

vehicle. With the steering wheel and throttle trigger

in the failsafe positions (neutral), press and hold

the bind button and power ON the transmitter. The

transmitter's green LED will blink after 3 seconds,

indicating it is in bind mode.

5. Release the bind button when the green LED flashes.

Continue holding failsafe positions until the binding

process is complete.

6. The receiver LED will glow solid when the transmitter

and receiver are bound.

7. Power OFF the vehicle, then the transmitter.
8. Remove the bind plug and store it in a convenient

place.

The receiver will keep the binding to the transmitter until

another binding is done.

If you encounter problems, obey binding instructions and

refer to the troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If

needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support

office.

NOTICE: Do not attempt to bind the transmitter and

receiver if there are other compatible transmitters in bind

mode within 400 feet. Doing so may result in unex-

pected binding.

Failsafe

In the unlikely event that the radio connection is lost

during use, the receiver will drive the servos to their pre

programmed failsafe positions (normally no throttle and

straight steering).
If the receiver is powered on before powering on the

transmitter, the receiver will enter this failsafe mode.

When the transmitter is powered 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.

Getting Started

1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Connect the two batteries to the

EC5™ connectors on the ESC.

3. Power on the ESC switch.
4. Test the transmitter’s control of

the boat with the boat on the

display stand.
