Transmitter & Receiver Help
Transmitter batteries, binding, receiver matching, and basic control checks for EXHOBBY RC products.
Transmitter & Receiver Topics
- Install fresh transmitter batteries.
- Charge the model battery fully.
- Keep the transmitter and model close during binding.
- Use the binding sequence in the product manual.
- LED does not turn on: Check battery direction and replace transmitter batteries.
- Will not bind: Turn everything off, wait briefly, then repeat the binding sequence.
- Steering or throttle reversed: Check transmitter settings and model-specific instructions.
- Receiver replacement: Confirm compatibility before ordering a new receiver.
Transmitters and receivers are not always interchangeable across models or brands. Confirm the model name, SKU, and receiver type before purchasing replacements.
Binding creates a secure link between the transmitter and receiver so the model responds to the correct controller. If a receiver is replaced, binding may need to be repeated.
- Mode 2: Throttle on the left stick. This is common in the USA and Europe.
- Mode 1: Throttle on the right stick. This is common in some Asia-Pacific markets.
2.4GHz systems can provide long range, but you should always keep the model in clear visual line of sight and avoid flying or driving behind obstacles.
Fail-safe is designed to move receiver outputs to safer positions if signal is lost. For aircraft, this usually means throttle off or idle and neutral control surfaces, depending on the model setup.
- Turn everything off.
- Wait about 30 seconds.
- Turn on the transmitter first.
- Power on the model close to the transmitter.
- Move away from strong WiFi, Bluetooth, or other RC signal sources and retry.
