Binding Procedure
CAUTION: When using a Futaba transmitter with a Spektrum DSM® module, you must reverse the
throttle channel and rebind. Refer to your Spektrum module manual for binding and failsafe instructions.
Refer to your Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle channel.
1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s
Bind control).
2. Make sure the flight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.
3. Power off your transmitter.
4. Set the aircraft upright on its wheels and connect the flight battery in the aircraft. The receiver
LED will begin to flash rapidly (typically after 5 seconds)
5. Make sure the transmitter controls are neutral and the throttle and throttle trim are in low position.
6. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or
switch instructions.
7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will turn solid, indicating that the receiver is bound
to the transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the back of
the manual.
For subsequent flights, power ON the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the flight battery.

active, the control surfaces may move rapidly
and noisily on the aircraft. This is normal. AS3X

on your transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.
4. Connect the battery to the ESC, noting proper
polarity. Keep the aircraft upright (on its gear)

IC Information
IC: 6157A-6TWIN
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or
lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than
that necessary for successful communication.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.”
