Binding Procedure
Binding is the process of uniquely associating a receiver to a transmitter module. A transmitter module can be bound to multiple receivers (not to be used simultaneously). A receiver can only be bound to one transmitter module.

  1. Hold the bind button while powering on the receiver. When the GREEN LED is on, it means the receiver is in BIND MODE
  2. Turn on the transmitter, make sure it is set to D8 mode, and then set it into bind status. When the RED LED of the receiver starts flashing, it means bind successful.
  3. Turn on the transmitter again, the GREEN LED receiver will be on, it means the receiver is receiving data from transmitter. Transmitter bind with receiver no need repetitive operation, unless you change either receiver or transmitter.
