5.3 Vinculació del transmissor i del receptor

The CT-10B transmitter and F-10A receiver are typically pre-bound from the factory. If re-binding is necessary or if you are using a new receiver, follow these steps:

1. Assegureu-vos que tant l'emissor com el receptor estiguin apagats.
2. Connect a bind plug (not included, usually comes with the receiver or ESC) to the BIND/VCC port on the F-10A receiver.
3. Power on the receiver. The receiver's LED should flash rapidly, indicating it is in binding mode.
4. While holding down the BIND button on the CT-10B transmitter (refer to the diagram for location, usually near the power button or on the side), power on the transmitter.
5. The transmitter's screen should display a binding progress or confirmation message. The receiver's LED should turn solid, indicating successful binding.
6. Power off both the transmitter and receiver.
7. Traieu el connector de connexió del receptor.
8. Power on the transmitter first, then the receiver. Verify that the controls respond correctly.
