transmitter and receiver binding
When new, it is necessary to pair the transmitter and receiver to prevent interference from radio controllers operated by other
users. This operation is referred to as 'binding'. Once the binding process is complete, the setting is remembered even when the
transmitter and receiver are turned OFF, therefore, this procedure usually only needs to be done once.
A Safety Link function is featured which can be used to program a unique bind code to each receiver/model pair, preventing the
transmitter from controlling a model that it's not currently programmed for.
3) Press the Navigation Pad
6
to highlight MODULATION, then press the
ENTER key to display the MODULATION menu. The cursor will default
to MODULATION>FH3.
4) Press the Navigation Pad
6
to move the cursor to SAFETY LINK NO.
By default the number should be 1, which matches the currently
selected default model (01:SANWA-01).
5) Press the Navigation Pad
6
to move the cursor to TRANSMIT BIND
CODE. OFF will be displayed.
6) While holding down the Bind Button on the receiver, turn the receiver
ON. The Bind LED on the receiver will blink slowly. After ~2 seconds
release the Bind Button. The Bind LED on the receiver will continue to
blink slowly.
Although the SD-10G transmitter can be used with any Airtronics FHSS-1 2.4GHz aircraft receiver, the Safety Link feature
is not supported.
When the binding procedure is successful, the Bind LED on the receiver will stay solid blue when both the transmitter and
receiver are turned ON. If the Bind LED on the receiver is blinking rapidly or not ON at all, the transmitter and receiver
are not paired. In this case, turn both the transmitter and receiver OFF, then repeat the binding procedure.
The SD-10G transmitter is compatible with FHSS-3 and FHSS-1 Airtronics 2.4GHz aircraft receivers. To bind the
transmitter to an FHSS-1 aircraft receiver, the transmitter modulation must rst be changed to FH1. For more information,
see page 36.
Use the tip of a pencil or a 1.5mm hex wrench to reach the Bind Button in the receiver.
1) Turn the transmitter ON. If this is the rst receiver/model pair you are binding, verify that the currently selected model number
is 01:SANWA-01 (new radio default model). If it is not, select model 01 via the MODEL SELECT menu. For more information,
see page 30.
2) Verify that SYSTEM is highlighted, then press the ENTER key to display the System menu. If SYSTEM is not highlighted,
press the END key until SYSTEM is highlighted.
7) Quickly press the YES/+ key. The green RF Output Indicator will blink,
the TRANSMIT BIND CODE selection will change to ON, and BINDING
will blink. The Bind LED on the receiver will blink rapidly for ~3 seconds,
then go out.
8) After Bind LED on the receiver goes out, press the END key. The Bind LED on the receiver, as well as the green RF Output
Indicator, will turn solid and the LCD Display will revert to the System menu indicating the binding process is complete. Press
the END key two times to return to the Top menu.
IMPORTANT The information in this section assumes that you're binding a new SD-10G transmitter and receiver in the
default conguration. For more information on Modulation and Safety Link settings, and how they're used, see page 34.
