  • Page 8: Transmitter And Receiver Binding

    Transmitter and Receiver Binding Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum™ DSM2/DSMX technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation. Binding Procedure 1. Program your transmitter using the Transmitter Setup found in this manual. Insert the bind plug in the BND/DAT port on the receiver. 3. Connect the flight battery to the ESC. The H menu LED should be flashing, indicating the AR7200BX is in bind mode. Move the throttle stick to the desired failsafe position (low throttle position in normal mode). Follow the procedures of your specific transmitter to enter Bind Mode. The system will connect within a few seconds. Once connected, the H LED will turn off and the AR7200BX will start the initialization process. 6. When the initialization process is complete, the Status LED light will come ON solid BLUE. 7. Disconnect the flight battery and remove the bind plug from the AR7200BX. Store the bind plug in a convenient place. NOTICE: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind mode the next time the power is turned on. If you encounter problems, obey binding instructions and refer to transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
