BindingProcedure

Bindingistheprocessofuniquelyassociatingaparticularreceivertoatransmittermodule.Atransmittermodulecanbe

boundtomultiplereceivers(nottobeusedsimultaneously).Areceivercanonlybeboundtoonetransmittermodule.

Followthestepsbelowtofinishthebindingprocedure.

1. TurnonthetransmitterwhileholdingtheF/SbuttonontheXJTmodule(seeModeandCompatibilitytable

above).Releasethebutton.TheREDLEDontheXJTmodulewillflash,indicatingthetransmitterisreadyto

bindtothereceiver.

2. ConnectthebatterytothereceiverwhileholdingtheF/Sbuttononthereceiver.TheREDLEDonthereceiver

willflash,indicatingthebindingprocessiscompleted(pleaserefertothecorrespondingreceiver’sinstruction

manualfordetails)

3. Turnoffboththetransmitterandthereceiver.

4. Turnonthetransmitterandconnectthebattery.TheREDLEDonthereceiverindicatesthereceiveris

receivingcommandsfromthetransmitter.Thereceiver/transmittermodulebindingwillnothavetobe

repeated,unlessoneofthetwoisreplaced.

Note:Afterbindingprocedureiscompleted,recyclethepowerandcheckifthereceiverisreallyundercontrolbylinked

transmitter.

RangeCheck

Apreflightrangecheckshouldbedonebeforeeachflyingsession.Reflectionsfromnearbymetalfences,concrete

buildingsortreescancauselossofsignalbothduringrangecheckandduringtheflight.



Followthestepsbelowtoperformtherangecheck.

1. Placethemodelatleast60cm(twofeet)abovenonmetalcontaminatedground(e.g.onawoodenbench).

2. Thereceiverantennasshouldbeseparatedinthemodel,anddonottouchtheground.

3. Themoduleantennashouldbeinaverticalposition.

4. Turnonthetransmitterandthereceiver,presstheF/SbuttonontheXJTmodulefor4secondstoenterrange

checkmode,theREDLEDwillbeoff,GREENLEDwillflashrapidly.Theeffectivedistancewillbedecreasedto

1/30offullrange.

5. Walkawayfromthemodelwhilesimultaneouslyoperatingthecontrolsonthetransmittertoconfirmall

controls’normaloperation(pleaserefertothecorrespondingreceiver’sinstructionmanualfordetails).

6. PresstheF/SbuttonontheXJTmodulefor1~4secondstoexitrangecheckmode,REDLEDwillbebackon,

indicatingnormaloperationisback.
