ParkZone Radian RTF PKZ4700 Datenbogen

The AR500 receiver must be bound to the transmitter 

before it will operate. Binding is the process of teaching the 

receiver the specific code of the transmitter so it will only 

connect to that specific transmitter.

note: RTF and Radio Systems are pre-bound at the 

factory. Rebinding is necessary if any settings are 

changed to ensure proper failsafe settings are achieved.

1.  To bind an AR500 to a DSM2 transmitter, insert the 

BATT/BIND port in the charge plug receptacle.

note: To bind an aircraft with an electronic speed 

controller that powers the receiver through the throttle 

channel (ESC/BEC), insert the bind plug into the BATT/

BIND port in the receiver and the throttle lead into the 

throttle port. Proceed to Step #2.

2.  Power the receiver by plugging in a receiver battery 

in any port on the receiver. Note that the LED on 

the receiver should be flashing, indicating that the 

receiver is in bind mode and ready to be bound to the 

transmitter.

note: When binding using a switch harness and 

separate receiver pack, a three-wire switch harness 

must be used such as SPM9530. (Not shown) You may

need to purchase the Male/Female bind plug SPM6803

in addition to the switch harness.

3.  Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to

the desired AR500 failsafe positions (low throttle and 

neutral control positions).

4.  Pull and hold the trainer switch on the top of the 

transmitter while turning on the power switch. Release 

the trainer switch once the LEDs on the front of the 

transmitter flash, and a series of tones are heard. 

Within a few seconds the system should connect. 

Once connected the LED on the receiver will go solid 

indicating the system is connected. 

 

note: Continuing to hold the trainer switch during the 

binding process will prevent preset failsafe positions 

from being learned by the receiver. 

5.  Remove the bind plug from the BATT/BIND port on the 

receiver before you power off the receiver and store it in 

a convenient place.

6.  After you’ve set up your model, it’s important to rebind 

the system so the true low throttle and neutral control 

surface positions are programmed.

Before each flying session, and especially with a new 

model, it is important to perform a range check. The DX5e 

incorporates a range testing system which, when placed in 

the RANGE CHECK mode with the trainer switch activated 

and held, reduces the output power, allowing a range check.

1.  With the model restrained on the ground, stand 30

paces (approx. 90 feet/28 meters) away from the model.

note: Prior to performing the range check ensure the 

correct failsafe stick positions are established.

2.  Face the model with the transmitter in your normal 

flying position. Pull and hold the trainer switch while 

toggling the HI/LO Rate Switch four times. The LEDs 

will flash and the alarm will sound indicating the system 

is in range check mode.

note: The trainer switch must be held the entire time 

during the range check process; releasing the trainer 

switch will exit the range check mode.

3.  You should have total control of the model with the

trainer switch pulled at 30 paces (90 feet/28 meters).
