WaRRantY ReGiStRation
Visit www.spektrumrc.com/registration today to register your product.

In order to operate, the receiver must be bound to the transmitter. Binding is the process of 

programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single 

specific transmitter. When a receiver is bound to a transmitter/model memory, the receiver will 

only respond to that specific transmitter/model memory.

1. 

With the S6240Rx off, insert the bind plug into the BIND port of the Servo. 

2. 

 Temporarily Power the S6240Rx through the Throttle Port. 

3. 

The orange LED will flash continuously, indicating that the receiver is in bind mode. 

4. 

 With the throttle channel in the desired preset failsafe position (normally neutral), put your 

transmitter in bind mode. Continue holding the failsafe position until the binding process is 

complete. 

5. 

The bind process is complete when the orange LED on the S6240Rx is solid. 

6. 

 Remove the bind plug from the S6240Rx and store it in a convenient place. Failure to 

remove the bind plug will result in the receiver entering bind mode the next time you power 

on the receiver. 

7. 

Unpug the battery from the Throttle Port and install the Throttle servo.

8. 

Power the S6240Rx through the Bind Port.

Receiver

Throttle Servo

Battery

•   Install the servo using the appropriate fasteners included with your vehicle.
•   Properly adjust the steering linkages and transmitter travel values to prevent servo damage.
•  The S6240Rx can be used with up to 6v receiver battery packs.

Mount the antenna up and away from the vehicle in the included antenna tube. The higher up the 

antenna is, the better signal it will receive. 

notice: Do not cut or modify the antenna.

1. 

With the S6240Rx off, insert the bind plug into the BIND port of the Servo. 

2. 

Connect the ESC lead to the throttle channel port and power up the ESC.

3. 

The orange LED will flash continuously, indicating that the receiver is in bind mode. 

4. 

 With the throttle channel in the desired preset failsafe position (normally neutral), put your 

transmitter in bind mode. Continue holding the failsafe position until the binding process is 

complete. 

5. 

The bind process is complete when the orange LED on the S6240Rx is solid. 

6. 

 Remove the bind plug from the S6240Rx and store it in a convenient place. Failure to 

remove the bind plug will result in the receiver entering bind mode the next time you power 

on the receiver.

Battery

To Motor

Electronic

Speed Control

Steering Servo/

Receiver

The throttle failsafe position is set during binding. In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost 

during use, the receiver will drive the throttle channel to its pre-programmed failsafe position 

(normally neutral or full brakes). If the receiver is powered on prior to turning on the transmitter, 

the receiver will enter the failsafe mode, driving the throttle channel to its preset failsafe position. 

When the transmitter is turned on, normal control is resumed.

iMpoRtant: Failsafe activates only in the event that signal is lost from the transmitter. Failsafe 

will NOT activate in the event that receiver battery power decreases below the recommended 

minimums or power to the receiver is lost.

notice: You must rebind the transmitter and S6240Rx if you:

•  change the servo reverse after binding.
•  want to use the S6240Rx with a different model memory.
•  are using the receiver with a DSMR transmitter and you change the frame rate in the

transmitter.

Problem

Possible Cause

Solution

The system will not 

connect

Your transmitter and receiver are 

too close together

Move transmitter 1 to 3 meters 

from receiver

You are around metal objects

Move to an area with less metal

The receiver is not bound to the 

active model memory

Check model selected and ensure 

you are bound to that model

Your transmitter was  

accidentally put into bind mode 

and is no longer bound to your 

receiver

Rebind your transmitter  

and receiver

The receiver goes into 

failsafe mode a short 

distance away from 

the transmitter

Check the receiver antenna to be 

sure it is not cut or damaged

Replace the receiver or contact 

Horizon Product Support
Make sure your receiver antenna 

is in an antenna tube and is above 

the vehicle

The receiver stops 

responding during 

operation

Inadequate battery voltage

Charge or replace the receiver 

batteries. 

Spektrum receivers require at least 

3.5V to operate (We recommend 

using a 6V receiver pack). An 

inadequate power supply can allow 

voltage to momentarily drop below 

3.5V and cause the receiver to 

brown out and reconnect

Loose or damaged wires  

or connectors between  

battery and receiver

Check the wires and  

connection between the battery and 

receiver. Repair or replace wires 

and/or connectors
