2.4GHz TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Problem
Transmitter too near aircraft during binding process
Aircraft will not Bind
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal object
(during binding) to
transmitter
The bind plug is not installed correctly in the bind port
Flight battery/Transmitter battery charge is too low
Transmitter too near aircraft during linking process
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal object
Aircraft will not link
Bind plug left installed in bind port
(after binding) to
transmitter
Aircraft bound to different model memory
(ModelMatch™ radios only)
Flight battery/Transmitter battery charge is too low
Transmitter may have been bound using different DSM
protocol
Check the receiver antenna to be sure it is not cut or
The receiver goes

Solution
Move powered transmitter a few feet from aircraft,
disconnect and reconnect fl ight battery to aircraft
Move the aircraft or transmitter away from the large metal
object
Install bind plug in bind port and bind the aircraft to the
transmitter
Replace/recharge batteries
Move powered transmitter a few feet from aircraft,
disconnect and reconnect fl ight battery to aircraft
Move the aircraft or transmitter away from the large metal
object
Rebind transmitter to the aircraft and remove the bind plug
before cycling power
Select correct model memory on transmitter
Replace/recharge batteries
Bind aircraft to transmitter
Replace or contact Horizon Product Support
Install main and remote receivers at least 2 inches (51mm)
apart and perpendicular to each other
Completely recharge fl ight battery
Do a check of the wires and connection between battery and
receiver. Repair or replace wires and/or connectors
If stand is pressing bind button, remove from stand and
rebind
Rebind by performing binding instructions
Check battery voltage
Power off transmitter when receiver is powered off
Reposition remote receivers for improved RF signal path
diversity
Check for and stop feedback from servos or motor systems
to the ESC or receiver
Check aircraft power draw and increase battery power or
decrease power demand by installed systems Ensure all
aircraft batteries are fully charged. nsure the installed BEC
for an electric aircraft is adequate for the power demand
