Default Binding a 12FG to an R617

For some reason I can't bind this receiver. It's my first try at this, so maybe I'm doing something stupid.

I switched the transmitter to 7 Channel mode. When I power up the receiver, the LED flashes green. When I push the easy link button, the LED flashes red (while I'm holding it), but then goes back to flashing green when I let go. I waited at least a minute and it was still flashing green.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
Kerry

Are you doing this at home? Do you have a wireless computer network at home? That's usually the main cause.

When you link, hold the link button on until the receiver acknowledges link-up.

Yes, and yes. (i.e. at home with a wireless network)

I'll try doing it outside tonight.

Not certain what I should see when "the receiver acknowledges link-up"

Thanks

Hi Kerry,

You may want to touch the transmitter antenna directly to the receiver antenna when you link these. Sometimes if there are wireless routers around, doing this can bypass any interference from other sources.

When the receiver acknowledges link-up you will see the light go steady green.

I unplugged my wireless router and then was able to bind them.

Thanks
