Low Voltage Cuto (LVC)
The ESC will continuously lower power to the motor until complete shutdown when the battery reaches 18V under load. This helps prevent over-discharge of the Li-Po battery. Land immediately when the ESC activates LVC. Continuing to fl y after LVC can damage the battery, cause a crash or both. Crash damage and batteries damaged due to over-discharge are not covered under warranty.
Repeatedly fl ying the helicopter until LVC activates will damage the helicopter battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. During storage, make sure battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.
First Flight Preparation
• Remove and inspect contents
• Begin charging the fl ight battery
• Program your computer transmitter
• Install the fl ight battery in the helicopter (once it has been fully charged)
• Bind your transmitter
• Familiarize yourself with the controls
• Find a suitable area for fl ying
Flying Checklist
❏ Always turn the transmitter on fi rst
❏ Plug the fl ight battery into the lead from the ESC ❏ Allow the ESC to initialize and arm properly ❏ Fly the model ❏ Land the model ❏ Unplug the fl ight battery from the ESC
❏ Always turn the transmitter off last
Transmitter Setup
Program your transmitter before attempting to bind or fl y the helicopter. Transmitter programming values are shown below for the Spektrum DX6, DX7 (Gen 2), DX8 (Gen 2), DX9, DX18 and DX20.
The fi les for models using Spektrum™ transmitters with AirWare™ software are also available for download online at www.spektrumrc.com.

WARNING: You must move the throttle to the LOW/OFF position during
binding. Failure to do so may cause the rotor blades to spin and the helicopter to lift during the AR7210BX initialization, which could result in damage to property and injury.
NOTICE: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind mode the next time the power is turned on.
If you encounter problems, obey binding instructions and refer to transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support offi ce.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
Throttle Hold
Throttle hold only turns off the motor on an electric helicopter. You maintain pitch and direction control.
The blades will spin if throttle hold is OFF. For safety, turn throttle hold ON any time you need to touch the helicopter or check the direction controls.
Throttle hold is also used to turn off the motor if the helicopter is out of control, in danger of crashing, or both.
Installing the Flight Battery
1. Lower the throttle.
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Center the throttle trim.
4. To allow the ESC to arm and to keep rotors from initiating at startup, turn on
throttle hold and normal fl ight mode before connecting the fl ight battery.
5. Attach hook material to the helicopter frame and loop material to the battery.
6. Install the fl ight battery on the helicopter frame. Secure the fl ight battery with a
hook and loop strap. Connect the battery cable to the ESC.
CAUTION: Always keep the power lead positioned AWAY from the
elevator servo. Failure to do so could cause the lead to get caught, resulting in a crash causing property damage and injury.
CAUTION: Make sure the fl ight battery does not come in contact with the motor. Failure to do so will cause the motor, ESC and battery to overheat,
resulting in a crash causing property damage and injury.
7. Do not move the helicopter until the AR7210BX initializes. The swashplate will move up and down, indicating that the unit is ready. The AR7210BX will also emit a solid BLUE Status LED when it is ready.
8. The helicopter motor will emit 2 tones, incdicating the ESC is armed.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft
receiver when not fl ying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential fi re when batteries are charged.
Binding Procedure
1. Program your transmitter using the Transmitter Setup found in this manual.
2. Insert the bind plug in the BND/DAT port on the receiver.
3. Connect the fl ight battery to the ESC. The H menu LED should be fl ashing, indicating the AR7210BX is in bind mode.
4. Move the throttle stick to the desired failsafe position (low throttle position in normal mode).
5. Follow the procedures of your specifi c transmitter to enter Bind Mode. The system will connect within a few seconds. Once connected, the H LED will turn off and the AR7210BX will start the initialization process.
6. When the initialization process is complete, the Status LED light will come ON solid BLUE.
7. Disconnect the fl ight battery and remove the bind plug from the AR7210BX. Store the bind plug in a convenient place.
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifi er) code of a single specifi c transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your
chosen Spektrum™ DSM2/DSMX technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.
