2.4 Binding?
Ok Guys I AM CONFUSED! [
]
(and upset )
I just upgraded my Eclipse 7 to 2.4 GHz and I am attempting to bind the receiver in NORMAL Mode.
The instructions are easy to follow - so I pressed the TX module button and turned on the TX.
THEN I pressed the RX Button and turned on the RX.
Lights are on! Lights are blinking! and I WAIT! and WAIT! (five minutes)
Lights are still ON and still blinking and NO BEEPS!... so is the system bound???
I turned OFF the RX and the TX ... then turned them back on... I have control over the AC functions, I THINK!
BUT this is NOT what the instructions say should have happened!
What is my NEXT move?

RE: 2.4 Binding?
I cannot reply to Eclipse binding. I will describe the Spectrum procedure.
For initial binding the Rx, battery and switch are hooked up. A bind plug is inserted in the charge lead coming from the switch. The RX is switched on, lights flash. The TX is switched on with the bind button held on. Both sets of lights flash and then go solid indicating binding is complete. I do not know of any system where the binding is complete if the lights are still flashing.
Once the two have gone through the initial binding the procedure changes a little. Now the TX is switched on first, no buttons held. Give the Tx time to "Search" the spectrum and lock on to a frequency, five seconds or so. Then the RX is switched on, the lights flash and then go solid, indicating the RX has recognised the TX signal.
Hope this helps.

Turn your xmitter on, then your rec.. Right after you turn your rec. on, you should hear four rapid beeps from your xmitter. Thats how my converted Optic 6 works.

RE: 2.4 Binding?
The beeps on my Aurora are so fast, I don't hear them, unless my ear is next to the module.
But, I agree with Jester. If it's responding, it's bound. BUt, to check, do a range test, that will confirm it.
Also, for peace of mind, call or email Hitec. They are very helpful.
And, don't try to compare the binding of Hirec to Spektrum. They are totally different.
