Binding the Transmitter and Receiver
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You need to 'bind' your
Spektrum™ DSM® transmitter to the flybarless unit before flying your helicopter. Please visit www.bindnfly.com to see a list of compatible DSM transmitters.
WARNING: You must move the throttle to the LOW/OFF position during binding. Failure to do so may cause the rotor blades to spin and the
helicopter to lift during the AR7200BX initialization, which could result in damage to property and injury.
Binding Procedure
1.
Program your transmitter using the Transmitter Setup values found in this manual.
2.
Insert the bind plug in the BND/DAT port on the flybarless unit.
3. Connect the flight battery to the ESC. The H menu LED flashes, indicating the AR7200BX is in bind mode.
4. Move the throttle stick to the LOW/OFF position and move the flight mode switch to select Normal flight mode.
5.
Put your transmitter in bind mode. The system connects within a few seconds. The H LED stops flashing and the AR7200BX starts the initialization
process.
6.
When the initialization process is complete, menu LED turns OFF and the Status LED light turns ON solid BLUE.
7. Disconnect the flight battery and remove the bind plug from the AR7200BX. Store the bind plug in a convenient place.
NOTICE: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind mode the next time the power is turned on.
If you encounter problems, follow the binding instructions and see the AR7200BX instruction manual for more information. If needed, contact the appropriate
Horizon Product Support office.
Throttle Hold
When you move the throttle hold switch to the ON position, the helicopter
motor turns off. You will still have control of the helicopter cyclic and rudder
commands.
The blades spin if throttle hold is OFF. For safety, turn throttle hold ON any time
you need to touch the helicopter or check the direction controls.
Installing the Flight Battery
1. Lower the throttle.
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Center the throttle trim.
4. Turn throttle hold ON.
5. Attach hook material to the helicopter frame and loop material
to the battery.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft receiver when not in use to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a
voltage below the lowest manufacturer's approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential fire when batteries are
charged.

You should also turn throttle hold ON to minimize damage if the helicopter is
out of control or in danger of crashing.
See your transmitter manual for more information on programming throttle
hold.
