Transmitter And Receiver Binding; Installing The Flight Battery - E-FLITE UMX Sbach 342 3D Instruction Manual

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally
Unique Identifi er) code of a single specifi c transmitter. You need to 'bind' your chosen Spektrum
®
technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.

Any JR or Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the SPMAS6410NBL receiver. Due to the aerobatic
capabilities of the UMX Sbach 3D, it is highly recommended that you use a transmitter with dual rates. Please
visit www.bindnfl y.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.
CAUTION: When using a Futaba transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module, you must reverse the
throttle channel and rebind. Refer to your Spektrum module manual for binding and failsafe instructions.
Refer to your Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle channel.

Binding Procedure
1. Refer to your transmitter's unique instructions for binding to a receiver.
2. Make sure the fl ight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.
3. Power off your transmitter.
4. Connect the fl ight battery in the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin to fl ash rapidly (typically after 5 seconds).
5. Make sure transmitter controls are neutral and throttle and throttle trim are in low position.
6. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter's manual for binding button or switch instructions.
7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will become solid, indicating that the receiver is bound to the
transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the back of the manual.
For subsequent fl ights, power on the transmitter for 5 seconds before connecting the fl ight battery.

Installing the Flight Battery

1. Remove the battery hatch from the nose of the
aircraft and power on your transmitter.
2. Attach the flight battery to the hook and loop
strip (A) on the battery tray. See the Adjusting
the Center of Gravity instructions to determine
the battery position for your desired
flying style.
3. Place the aircraft on the ground out of the
wind and connect a fully charged
flight battery.
Ensure the aircraft is immobile for 5 seconds
so the AS3X system initializes correctly. See
the Arming the ESC instructions for correct
connection of the battery to the ESC.
4. Install the battery hatch.
NOTICE: If using a different battery than the
recommended 2-Cell 7.4V 180mAh 20C Li-Po, you
will need to apply a circle of hook and loop fastener
to the back of the battery, opposite the side with
the label, in order to hold the battery in place.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po
battery from the aircraft receiver when not fl ying to
avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries
discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest
approved voltage may become damaged, resulting
in loss of performance and potential fi re when
batteries are charged.
