RTF
Your RTF transmitter comes prebound to the model. If you need to re-bind, follow the directions below.
1. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position. Set all trims to the center position.
2. Power off the transmitter.
3. Install the bind plug in the receiver BIND/PROG port (far left side of the receiver).
4. Connect the flight battery to the ESC.
5. Press and hold the Bind Switch while powering on the transmitter. Flip the model upside down and hold for 15s
6. The transmitter will beep and the LED will blink. Release the Bind Switch.
7. The helicopter is bound when the LED on the receiver control unit is solid and the transmitter emits 3 rapid,
high-pitch tones. If the transmitter emits 2 low-pitch tones, the binding procedure was not successful and should
be attempted again.
8. Disconnect the flight battery and power the transmitter off.
If you encounter problems, obey binding instructions and refer to the troubleshooting guide for other instructions.
If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
Technology
Revolutionary SAFE
(Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope)
®
technology uses an innovative combination of multi-axis
sensors and software that allows model aircraft to know
its position relative to the horizon. This spatial awareness
is utilized to create a controlled flight envelope the aircraft
can use to maintain a safe region of bank and pitch angles
so you can fly more safely. Far beyond stability, this level of
protection offers multiple modes so the pilot can choose to
develop his or her skills with a greater degree of security
and flight control that always feels crisp and responsive.
Flight Mode and Rate Selection
In Stability Mode the bank angle is limited. When the
cyclic stick is released the model will return to level.
In Intermediate Mode the bank angle is not limited. When
the cyclic stick is released the model will not return to
level. This mode is great for learning forward flight and
basic aerobatics such as stall turns and loops.
Panic Recovery
If you get into distress while flying in any mode, activate
the panic function and move the control sticks to their
neutral position. SAFE technology will immediately return
the aircraft to an upright level attitude, if the aircraft is at
a sufficient height with no obstacles in its path. Return the
collective stick to 50% and deactivate the Panic Recovery
Function to return to the current flight mode.

SAFE technology delivers:
• Flight envelope protection you can enable at the flip of
a switch.
• Multiple modes let you adapt SAFE technology to your
skill level instantly.
Best of all, sophisticated SAFE technology doesn't require
any work to enjoy. Every aircraft with SAFE installed is
ready to use and optimized to offer the best possible flight
experience.

In Agility Mode the bank angle is not limited. When the
cyclic stick is released the model will not return to level.
This mode is great for 3D aerobatics such as stationary
flips and tic tocs.
Change rates in any mode by moving the two-position
dual rate switch.
• Low rate reduces the control rates, providing an easier
to fly model. Beginners should use low rate for initial
flights.
• High rate provides full control and should be used by
intermediate and experience pilots.
NOTICE: Before deactivating Panic Recovery , make
sure the collective stick has been returned to the 50%
position. Once the Panic Recovery has been deacti-
vated, full negative collective becomes available, which
could cause the 230 S Smart to descend rapidly.
• This mode is intended to provide the pilot with the
confidence to continue to improve their flight skills.
• Move the collective stick to 50% and return all other
transmitter controls to neutral for the quickest recovery.
• Once the model has reached a level upright attitude, the
negative collective is reduced to prevent the user from
pushing the model into the ground.
