Binding - Spektrum DX18 Instruction Manual

BINDING

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifi er) code of a single specifi c trans-
mitter. The DX18 and AR9020 are pre-bound at the factory. You will need to rebind after the model programming is initially set up to
fully program the model's failsafe positions.
