4. Q: Sometimes my receiver loses its bind and won't connect, requiring rebinding. What happens if the
bind is lost in flight?
A: The receiver will never lose its bind unless it's instructed to. It's important to understand that during
the binding process the receiver not only learns the GUID (code) of the transmitter but the transmitter
learns and stores the type of receiver that it's bound to. If the trainer switch is pulled on the transmitter
at any time and the transmitter is turned on, the transmitter looks for the binding protocol signal from
a receiver. If no signal is present, the transmitter no longer has the correct information to connect to a
specific receiver and in essence the transmitter has been "unbound" from the receiver. We've had several
customers using transmitter stands or trays that unknowingly depress the bind button and the system is
then turned on, losing the necessary information to allow the connection to take place. We've also had
customers that didn't fully understand the range test process and pull the trainer switch before turning
on the transmitter, also causing the system to "lose its bind." If the system fails to connect, one of the
following has occurred:
energy is preventing the system from connecting. (See #2 above)
causing the transmitter to no longer recognize the receiver.
