Binding procedure for the am-2520

Note: The negative pin is on the short side of the receiver.

1. Install the batteries in the transmitter.
2. Insert the jumper to the Bat port of the receiver.
3. Connect the receiver battery to any one of the channels. The LED will be flashing meaning the receiver is waiting for the transmitter.
4. Press and hold the Bind button on the transmitter, and then switch on the transmitter.
5. Observe the LED on the receiver. When the LED stops flashing, the bind was successful. This should be almost instantly.
6. Release the Bind button on the transmitter and remove the jumper and receiver battery (remove everything from the receiver)
7. Install a servo and receiver battery and test if the bind was successful.
8. If the test fails, repeat steps 1-7.

Programming software

There is an option to program your receiver via PC and you will have to order the programming cable. You can use T6config free software for programming your transmitter. I would recommend using Digital Radio software, as it is better, and costs only 2 dollars.
