BIND
Install the Receiver in your vehicle using double-sided foam
servo tape. Foam servo tape will hold the receiver in place
and help isolate it from vibrations. Mount the antenna up
and away from the vehicle in an antenna tube. The higher
up the antenna is, the better signal it will receive.
CAUTION: Do not cut the antenna.

BINDING A RECEIVER

® ®
™ DSM , DSM2 Binding is the process of programming the receiver to
recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a
single specific transmitter. When a receiver is bound to
a transmitter, the receiver will only respond to that specific
transmitter. The DX2E and SR201 are bound at the factory,
but if you need to rebind for any reason, please follow
these steps:
Antenna
1. With the receiver off, insert the bind plug into the BIND
LED
2. Power the receiver through any other port. The green

Throttle Servo
You must rebind when:
• Different failsafe positions are desired e.g., when throttle
Steering Servo
• Changing receiver types e.g., changing from a DSM
Battery
• Binding the receiver to a different transmitter.
Some Spektrum receivers, like the SR3001, use a bind
button rather than a bind plug. The binding process is the
same with this receiver; however, instead of inserting the
plug before powering up the receiver, press and hold the
bind button while powering up the receiver to enter bind
mode.

FAILSAFE

Failsafe positions are also set during binding. In the unlikely
event that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will
drive the servos to their preprogrammed failsafe positions
(normally full brakes and straight steering). If the receiver
is turned on prior to turning on the transmitter, the receiver
will enter failsafe mode. When the transmitter is turned on,
normal control is resumed. For more information on setting
the failsafe, refer to the Binding a Receiver section above.

preset failsafe positions (see the Failsafe section on this
page for more information), press and hold the bind
button and turn on the transmitter. The green LED on the
front of the transmitter will flash within three seconds,
indicating the transmitter is in bind mode. Release the
bind button when the green LED flashes. Continue to
hold the failsafe positions until the binding process
is complete.
