the upper end of the socket panel. The left-hand side of
the receiver carries a silver sticker. This is labelled with the
brand name, the type of device and the names of the two
buttons and one switch that are located there. It also shows
the connections for the servo channels and the power.
BIND SET AND F-G SWITCH
The top button on the receiver is labelled 'Bind set' . This
saves the data with which the transmitter and receiver
'bind' or synchronise with each other (see the introductory
article on radio control frequencies in Pack 21 for more
information on this). The frequency hopping sequence is
sent from the transmitter to the receiver and stored there
(further details of this will be given in Pack 23).
To bind the two devices, first turn on the transmitter and
then the receiver. Now check that the LED on the top left of
the receiver is lit or flashing. If it's lit, the receiver knows the
hopping sequence already and you will be able to control
the servos of the model. If the LED flashes, however, the
receiver is unassigned and the servos will not respond. In
that case, press the 'Bind set' button with a ballpoint pen or
other pointed item until the LED remains lit. This completes
the binding process. If you have connected everything

correctly (see Stage 83), the servos can now be controlled
with the transmitter.
The 'F-G' switch is used to limit the bandwidth of the
transmitted signals. It is only important when the equipment
is used in France, because there the permitted frequency
band is narrower than elsewhere. Outside France, the switch
should be set to 'G' , as should the F-G switch on the
transmitter itself.
THE FAIL SAFE FUNCTION
By using the 'Fail Safe set' button, you can preset what
happens if the receiver loses contact with the transmitter.
The receiver performs this function automatically, but it is
not preset at the factory and must be programmed first.
Turn on the transmitter, then the receiver. Press the 'Fail
Safe set' button until the LED flashes quickly. Then use the
remote control function that you want to come into play if
the receiver crashes or fails, and at the same time press the
button. Once the LED is continuous, the fail safe mode has
been set. We recommend that you program the fail safe to
apply maximum braking to stop your car if its receiver loses
contact. To do this, push the trigger all the way forward
while the LED is flashing and press 'Fail Safe set' .
