Student Trainer Wireless Link

• There are many options when it comes to establishing the wireless link. The instructions to establish a wireless link are dependant on the wireless link option chosen.
• In general establishing the wireless link steps are
  1. Turn on the student’s Tx and place it in “Bind” mode
  2. Turn on trainer’s Tx and place the wireless link module into “Bind” mode
  3. If all goes well they bind and you can move on to testing and tuning the trainer setup
• This video shows the binding of the DasMikro DSM2 micro receiver installed in a Taranis

2. Press  “PAGE” repeatedly till you get the “CHANNELS MONITOR” screen
   Move all 4 of the Tx sticks and observe direction and magnitude of the output
   Go into trainer mode and do the same with the students Tx while watch the trainer’s Tx screen
