1.2.2 Binding

Every transmitter owns a unique ID code. Before using, binding transmitter to receiver on aircraft is a must.
When done binding, ID code will be stored in the receiver, no need to rebind, unless the receiver is going to
work with another transmitter. If a new compatible receiver is purchased, binding needs to be done before
using.
Binding steps of all transmitters and receivers from RadioLink are the same as follow:
1) Put the transmitter and the receiver close to each other (about 50 centimeters) and power both on.
2) Switch on the transmitter and the LED on R8SM will start flashing slowly.
3) There is a black binding button(ID SET) on the side of receiver. Press the button until the LED flashing
quickly and release, meaning binding process is ongoing.
4) When the LED stops flashing and is always on, binding is complete. If not succeed, the LED will keep
flashing slowly to notify, repeat the above steps.
Note of Receiver Usage
Keep antennas as straight as possible, or the effective control range will reduce.

Big models may contain metal parts that influence signal emission. In this case, antennas should be

positioned at both sides of the model to ensure the best signal status in all circumstances.
Antennas should be kept away from metal conductor and carbon fiber at least half inch away and no

over bending.
Keep antennas away from motor, ESC or other possible interference sources.
4
Sponge or foam material is advised to use to prevent vibration when installing receiver.
5
6 Receiver contains some electronic components of high-precision. Be careful to avoid strong vibration
and high temperature.
Special vibration-proof material for R/C like foam or rubber cloth is used to pack to protect receiver.
7
Keeping the receiver in a well-sealed plastic bag can avoid humidity and dust, which would possibly make the
receiver out of control.

1.2.3 T8S Gimbals Calibration

When the transmitter is power-off, toggle both sticks at the central point. Then press the rudder trimmer button
(with an arrow to left and marked as No.1 in below picture) and the power button simultaneously, the four green
indicators will start flashing and the T8S is ready to be calibrated.
Range Calibration: Toggle both sticks (Ch1-4) to the highest point/maximum and the lowest point/minimum.
Then back to the central point. (Refer to image below)
Central Point Calibration: When the joysticks are back to the central point, press the rudder trimmer button
(with an arrow to right and marked as No.2 in below picture) once. Two short DD sounds will be heard while the
