Binding Procedure / Switching OFF SAFE Select
IMPORTANT: The included AR636 receiver has been programmed for
operation specifically for this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for
correct setup if the receiver is replaced or is used in another aircraft.
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.
Make sure the transmitter is powered off.
Move the transmitter controls to neutral (flight controls: rudder, elevators and
ailerons) or to low positions (throttle, throttle trim). *
Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
Place the aircraft on a level surface, connect the flight battery to the ESC. The
ESC will produce a series of sounds. 3 flat tones followed immediately by
2 ascending tones confirm that the LVC is set correctly for the ESC.
The orange bind LED on the receiver will begin to flash rapidly. DO NOT
remove the bind plug at this time.
Take 3 steps away from the aircraft /receiver and then power ON the trans-
mitter while holding the transmitter bind button or switch. Refer to your
transmitter’s manual for specific binding instructions.
IMPORTANT: Do not to point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the
receiver while binding.
IMPORTANT: Keep away from large metal objects while binding.
The receiver is bound to the transmitter when the orange bind light on the
receiver stays orange. The ESC will produce a series of sounds. 3 flat
tones followed immediately by 2 ascending tones. The tones indicate the
ESC is armed, provided the throttle stick and throttle trim are low enough
to trigger arming.
Remove the bind plug from the bind port.
IMPORTANT: Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind and last setting
until it has been intentionally changed, even when power is cycled ON and
OFF. However, if you notice that bind has been lost, simply repeat the binding
process.
SAFE Select OFF Indication
Every time the receiver is powered ON the surfaces will cycle back and forth
once to indicate that SAFE Select has been switched OFF.
The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the
lowest position. If you encounter problems, follow the binding instructions and
refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed,
contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.

SAFE Select ON Indication
Every time the receiver is powered ON the surfaces will cycle back and forth
twice with a slight pause at neutral position to indicate that SAFE Select is
switched ON.
The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the
lowest position. If you encounter problems, follow the binding instructions
and refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If
needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
*Failsafe: If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate. When activated, failsafe moves the throttle channel to its preset failsafe
position (low throttle) that was set during binding. All other channels move to actively level the aircraft in flight.
