Binding; Smart Fail-Safe - Spektrum DX6 Manual

BINDING

Each Spektrum™ transmitter has a GUID (Globally Unique Identi er) code. Binding is the process of
programming the receiver to recognize the GUID of a single speci c transmitter. Binding teaches the receiver the
speci c GUID of that transmitter, so that the receiver will only listen to the information from its previously bound
transmitter and ignores everything else. With over 4.2 billion GUID codes the chances of having interference
from another transmitter is virtually impossible. Fail-safe positions are set during binding, and usually it is only
necessary to bind the receiver to the transmitter once. The only time it is necessary to rebind is if you wish to
use a different transmitter or to change the fail-safe positions. Your AR6000 was bound to the transmitter during
manufacturing however, if you wish to change to a different transmitter or change the throttle fail-safe position,
the following process is necessary.
HOW TO BIND
1. With the power off, plug the bind plug into the BAT port.
2. Power on the receiver by connecting the battery to any unused port. The blue LED should be blinking.
3. Position the throttle stick in the desired fail-safe position (normally low throttle).
4. Press and hold the bind button on back of the transmitter while turning on the transmitter. The button should
ash for about 5 seconds, then both LED' s (transmitter and receiver) will go solid green. Important:
Remove the bind plug after binding.

SMART FAIL-SAFE

In case of loss of signal, the throttle will go to the preset position stored during binding. The other channels
will hold last position. If the receiver is turned on before the transmitter, all channels but throttle will go to
the fail-safe positions stored during binding, while the throttle will not generate a pulse so as not to affect the
Electronic Speed Control.
