Info

If the receiver’s antenna falls off, don’t worry—it happens often. Just plug it back in.

  • Disconnect power – unplug the quadcopter battery.
  • Enter bind mode on the receiver
    • Locate the small bind button on the upper-left corner of the receiver (see Figure 5)
    • Hold this button and reconnect the battery, then release it once the LED on the receiver starts flashing green
  • Complete the bind on the radio
    • On the transmitter, highlight Bind and press ENT
    • When the receiver LED turns solid green, the link is established
    • Press ENT on the transmitter to leave bind mode

6. Confirm a successful bind

  • Power-cycle both the transmitter and the quadcopter
  • On power-up you should notice:
    • The transmitter gives a single, clear beep
    • The receiver LED lights solid green

One-time Setup

After a successful bind, the link is stored in memory—each time you power on the transmitter and quadcopter they will reconnect automatically, unless the receiver is re‑bound to another radio.
