Spektrum DX7 starting Issue.

[julitostar]

I'm turning on my Dx7 and the Heli next, but then I had to turn off my DX7 and turn it on again pressing the back button and only then the heli will recon the DX7 .. its like pairing the radio everytime I use it.

Could anybody explained why is that, or that's the way of doin it ?...

Thank's for your help

Are you saying the RX will only connect if you rebind everytime you turn on the TX? Something's not right. Need more information to really help, but in the meantime make sure your transmitter is not too close to the RX when you turn it on. Also realize it sometimes takes a few seconds for the system to boot-it's not always instantaneous.

Yes I'm really close to the RX I try to go farther .. but yes everytime I Turn on my TX I have to rebind.. the RX will keep blinking if I dont rebind , But when I turn Off the TX and turn it on again pressing the Bind button it will stop blinking and then make the music and the the beeping of the Esc. only then I could move my heli..

Thank's

This is probably a stupid question, but did you remove the bind plug from the RX?

[julitostar]

Oh Oh... its not so stupid the question ... I thought I need that plug to use it as bridge so the RX get electricity... Oh man.. I'm learning the hard way .. but you people had help me so mutch I have not crash my heli jet .. thank's I will take out the plug... ( its funny) ...
Thank's

Just out of interest; can I put the bind plug into the RX without using the switch supplied - I'm running a Trex 600 with align 2 in 1 and it's a pain pulling the 2 in 1 plug from the receiver and connecting the spectrum switch to bind the radio?

[TheBum]

Absolutely. I never use the switch; I just plug the bind plug directly into the BAT connector.

Yep, all binding does is short the signal and ground pin on the battery port, you can short them anyway you please. I used a pair of forceps to short the pins the other day because someone needed to rebind and everyones fingers were too fat to get into the frame on a trex to do it.

[nikpro]

I still don't understand; I have my RX battery plugged into the 2 in 1 then the 2 in 1 plugged into the rx; if I remove the 2 in 1 plug from the rx and replace with the bind plug how the hell is the rx going to power up??

[TheBum]

The receiver has two bus bars that carry power for all channel connectors. It doesn't matter which connector the power is plugged into as long as there's no conflict with the signal line, so you could pull one of the other channels' connectors, pull the 2-in-1 connector, plug the bind plug into the BAT connector, and finally plug the 2-in-1 power into the vacant connector. If you have a spare channel, you can use that for plugging in power.

Or just use a Y cable. If you install the Y cable to the Batt/Bind port, you can just stick your bind plug in when you need to. And make it long enough and you can make it easier to do binding. :)
