BIND/FRAME MENU

For compatibility with all types of servos, three frame rates are available:
• 11ms: Offers good response rates and is compatible with most digital and analog servos (this is the
default position). Works with DSMR
• 16.5ms: Needed for older analog servos. Works with DSM2
• 22ms: Needed for older analog servos. Works with DSMR receivers.
TIP: You should always use the fastest response rate the servos can handle. This gives the lowest latency
and fastest response. If the frame rate is incompatible with the servo, the servo will move erratically or, in
some cases, not at all. If this occurs, change the frame rate to the next highest value.
NOTICE: Always rebind after changing the Frame Rate.
Failsafe
In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will drive the throttle servo to its pre-programmed failsafe posi-
tion (normally full brakes) and all other channels will have no servo output. The throttle failsafe position is set during binding. If the
receiver is turned on prior to turning on the transmitter, the receiver will enter the failsafe mode, driving the throttle servo to its preset
failsafe position. When the transmitter is turned on, normal control is resumed.
IMPORTANT: failsafe activates only in the event that signal is lost from the transmitter. Failsafe will NOT activate in the event that
receiver battery power decreases below the recommended minimums or power to the receiver is lost.
NOTICE: AVC receivers must be calibrated after binding for proper operation.
Binding
Binding is the Process of teaching the receiver the specifi c transmitter's code called GUID (Globally Unique
Identifi er) and storing failsafe values. When a receiver is bound to a transmitter/model memory, the receiver will
only respond to that specifi c transmitter/model memory.
Bind Process
1. Use a bind plug or press the bind button to place the receiver into Bind mode. The LED on the receiver
will begin to fl ash.
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Select the Model Memory you wish to bind to.
4. Select Bind from the List menu.
5. Move the throttle channel to the desired failsafe position.
NOTICE: The throttle channel must stay in the failsafe position until binding is complete.
6. Scroll to Bind and click the scroll wheel. The orange LED fl ashes on top of the transmitter.
7. When the bind process is complete, the transmitter and receiver LEDs stop fl ashing and turn solid
orange.
8. Remove the bind plug from the receiver and keep it in a convenient place.
NOTICE: Always remove the bind plug from the receiver when the bind Process is complete. Failure to do so
will cause the receiver to enter bind mode the next time you power on the receiver.
