Can't bind new Futaba 4PLS Transmitter with receiver

[tigerljj1]

Hi forum,

Can't link/bind new 4PLS transmitter to receiver that came with it. I'm following directions per manual and even researched YouTube. Have tried about 20 times: connecting, disconnecting, reconnecting receiver to ESC and steering servo.

Any ideas? Calling Futaba tomorrow.

Thank you!

@tigerljj1 I have had trouble with this on Spektrum radios that was related to proximity. Try moving the radio and vehicle away from one another, even across the room. It seemed, in my instance, they could be too close. Counter intuitive, but moving them apart worked.

Thx for the tip. How I got it to bind was to do linking procedure. Procedure states turn off power to receiver and transmitter after hitting 'link. Then turn on and light on receiver should be green. Well it remained red. That wasn't working. What did work, who knows why, is I disconnected everything from receiver after hitting link button. Reconnected and powered on and walk. Go figure.
