The control sensitivity can be changed by pressing and releasing the right control stick. The LED
on the transmitter will show solid for high sensitivity (default) and flashing for low sensitivity.
Installing the Flight Battery
1. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the
lowest settings.
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Install the flight battery in the battery
holder. Connect the battery cable to the
3-in-1 control unit.
NOTICE: Do not allow the helicopter to
move until the blue LED on the 3-in-1
control unit is solid.

NOTICE: Always disconnect the Li-Po

battery from the 3-in-1 control unit of the
aircraft when not flying. Failure to do so
may result in over discharge.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding
Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID
(Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen
Spektrum™ DSM2 ®/ DSMX ® technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper
operation.
If you purchased an RTF model, the transmitter is bound to the model at the factory.
If for any reason you need to re-bind your Nano CPS to the MLP6DSM, follow the directions below:
Binding Procedure for the MLP6DSM (RTF)
1. Disconnect the flight battery from the helicopter.
2. Power off the transmitter and move all switches to the 0 position.
3. Connect the flight battery to the helicopter. The 3-in-1 Control unit LED flashes after 5 seconds.
4. Push and hold the “panic” trigger/button and hold the rudder control stick to full left while
powering on the transmitter.
5. Release the trainer switch/button. Continue to hold the rudder control stick to full left until the
blue LED on the 3-in-1 control unit is solid.
6. Release the rudder control stick.
7. Push the trainer switch/button. The blue LED on the 3-in-1 control unit flashes to confirm the
helicopter is in non-computer mode.
8. Disconnect the flight battery and power the transmitter off.
NOTICE: If the swashplate moves up and down when the trainer switch is moved, the
helicopter is in computer transmitter mode. Repeat the binding procedure.
To bind your Nano CPS to your chosen transmitter, follow the directions below:
Binding Procedure for Computer Radios (BNF)
1. Disconnect the flight battery from the helicopter.
2. Power off the transmitter and move all switches to the 0 position.
3. Connect the flight battery to the helicopter. The 3-in-1 Control unit LED flashes after 5 seconds.
4. Push the bind switch/button while powering on the transmitter.
5. After 2–3 seconds, release the bind switch/button.
6. Move the rudder control stick to full right. Continue to hold the rudder control stick to full right
until the blue LED on the 3-in-1 control unit is solid.
7. Release the rudder control stick.
8. Disconnect the flight battery and power the transmitter off.
NOTICE: The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the lowest
position and the stunt mode switch is not in the 0 position.
If you encounter problems, refer to the troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed,
contact the appropriate Horizon Hobby Product Support office.
