Binding

The AR636B receiver must be bound to the transmitter before it will operate. Binding is the process of teaching the receiver the specic code of the transmitter so it will only connect to that specic transmitter.

TIP: If you are going to use the AS3X feature, do not connect any servos to the receiver during binding. When you activate AS3X, the Spektrum AS3X Programmer app will show you where to connect the servos.

1. Insert the bind plug in the BIND port on the receiver.

2. Power the receiver through any open channel port. The orange LED on the

receiver ashes, indicating the receiver is in bind mode. NEVER power the receiver through a telemetry port.

3. Put the transmitter in bind mode. Binding is complete when the orange LED

on the receiver is solid.

GEAR (Gear port) RUDD (Rudder port) ELEV (Elevator port) AILE (Aileron port) THRO (Throttle port) BIND/PROG (Bind, Programming port)

4. Remove the bind plug from the BIND/PROG port on the receiver before you

power off the transmitter and store it in a convenient place.

NOTICE: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind mode the next time the power is turned on.

5. After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and receiver to

set the desired failsafe positions.

Antenna Polarization

For optimum RF link performance it’s important that the antennas be mounted in an orientation that allows for the best possible signal reception when the aircraft is in all possible attitudes and positions. This is known as antenna polarization. The antennas should be oriented perpendicular to each other; typically vertical and horizontal and at different angles (see Receiver Installation below).

Using the AR636B Receiver With AS3X

By default, AS3X technology is turned off in AR636B receivers. Before activating AS3X, you will need to properly install the receiver in the aircraft and download the Spektrum Programmer to your mobile device. An interface cable (SPMA3081 sold separately) is required for programming the receiver.

Activating AS3X

1. Bind the transmitter and receiver.

2. Download the Spektrum Programmer from SpektrumRC.com or from your

mobile device (iOS or Android).

3. Power on the transmitter and receiver.

4. Open the Spektrum AS3X application.

5. Connect the audio interface cable to the BIND/PROG port of the receiver and

the device.

6. Use the application to program the receiver. For instructions on how to use

the application, please consult the manual in the application.

7. Press “Update” in the application to save the receiver programming.

Installing the Receiver

1. You can install the receiver under the canopy or in the bottom of the

fuselage. The servo pins must point toward the nose or tail of the fuselage.

2. Connect the servo and telemetry leads to the receiver.

3. Use double-sided foam tape to secure the receiver.
