Range Test Procedure for v3.0 and later firmware (anything sold after October 2008):
Range test for full range receivers:
1. Install the receiver in the R/C device as it will be used.
2. Turn on the radio system so servo movement can be observed. Note: antenna should be ON the module.
3. Using flat ground (pavement, low cut grass, or dirt) place the R/C device so that the receiver antenna is no less than 6" from the ground. This might require you elevating the R/C device during the testing.
4. Hold your transmitter waist high, away from your body.
5. Press and hold the PROG button on the transmitter module.
6. Walk to a distance of at least 125 feet. If at any time you experience a pause in controls, try to reproduce it again and release the button to see if the pause no longer occurs. If the problem does not occur now, check to make sure that your receiver is at least 6" from the ground while testing.
7. With the PROG button still pressed down, walk away from the R/C device while moving the sticks until there is intermittent control. Releasing the PROG button should restore 100% control. If it does not, do not use the system and contact Xtreme Power Systems for assistance!
8. Test complete.
Range test for surface or park flyer receivers:
Follow the instructions of above. The range test will be limited to approximately 75 feet instead of at least 125 feet for full range receivers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Range Test Procedure for v2.9 and earlier firmware (anything sold before October 2008):
To perform a range test of the XtremeLink system using the transmitter module that has the removable antenna, follow the instructions below. Have someone help you if there is any possibility of the R/C device moving from a stationary location.
Range test for full range receivers:
1. Install the receiver in the R/C device as it will be used.
2. Remove the antenna from the transmitter module.
3. Turn on the radio system so servo movement can be observed.
4. Using flat ground (pavement, low cut grass, or dirt) place the R/C device so that the receiver antenna is no less than 6" from the ground. This might require you elevating the R/C device during the testing.
5. Hold your transmitter waist high, away from your body.
6. Press and hold the PROG button on the transmitter module.
7. Walk around the R/C device completely (360 degrees) at a distance of at least 50 feet, making sure that the transmitter antenna connector is pointed at the R/C device. If at any time you experience a pause in controls, try to reproduce it again and release the button to see if the pause no longer occurs. If the problem does not occur now, check to make sure that your receiver is at least 6" from the ground while testing.
8. With the PROG button still pressed down, walk away from the R/C device while moving the sticks until there is intermittent control. Note the distant of when intermittent operation begins.
9. Continue walking the same distance. If you walked 100 feet before intermittent operation occurred, you would walk an additional 100 feet.
10. Now, without any control, re-install the antenna on your transmitter module (do not release the PROG button). The R/C device should immediately respond. If it does not respond 100% fully, do not use the system and contact Xtreme Power Systems for assistance!
11. Test complete.
Range test for surface or park flyer receivers:
Follow the instructions of above. The range test will be limited to approximately 25 feet instead of 50 feet for full range receivers.

Binding your XtremeLink® system |

Here is a step-by-step guide for binding your system (single receiver).
Always start any binding procedure by turning off your transmitter and power off all receivers.
Binding 8 and 10 channel receivers, or RFU:
- Apply power to your receiver.
- When the receiver's LED is flashing RED, press and hold the programming button on the receiver until the LED turns GREEN, and then release the programming button. The LED will now flash orange, indicating it is in binding mode.
- Press and hold the button labeled PROG on your transmitter module while turning on the power to your transmitter. If you are using an internal module (like an EVO or Profi), press and hold the button on the board while turning on the power.
- Wait for the LED on the transmitter module (or internal board) to turn green and release the button.
- The units will immediately bind.
- The LED on the transmitter module (or internal board) will now be green.
- The LED on the receiver will now be green.
- Power off the transmitter and receiver.
- They are now ready to be used.
Binding a single Nano receiver:
- Apply power to your receiver.
- When the receiver's LED is flashing, attach the jumper (provided with your receiver) to the port labeled "B" (binding/battery). Leave the jumper on until the LED turns solid, then remove the jumper. The LED will now be flashing fast, indicating it is in binding mode.
- Press and hold the button labeled PROG on your transmitter module while turning on the power to your transmitter. If you are using an internal module (like an EVO or Profi), press and hold the button on the board while turning on the power.
- Wait for the LED on the transmitter module (or internal board) to turn green and release the button.
- The units will immediately bind.
- The LED on the transmitter module (or internal board) will now be green.
- The LED on the receiver will now be off.
- Power off the transmitter and receiver.
- They are now ready to be used.
Binding multiple Nano receivers:
- Apply power to your receiver.
- When the receiver's LED is flashing, attach the jumper (provided with your receiver) to the port labeled "B" (binding/battery). Leave the jumper on until the LED turns solid, then remove the jumper. The LED will now be flashing fast, indicating it is in master binding mode.
- ALL slave receivers must be put into slave binding mode. Attaching the jumper for two seconds and removing it will make the LED turn solid red, indicating the receiver is in slave binding mode. Repeat this process for all slave receivers. Leave the last receiver in master binding mode. Note: each receiver being bound MUST be left powered up and ready to bind to the transmitter. ALL of the receivers are bound at the exact same time to the transmitter!
- Press and hold the button labeled PROG on your transmitter module while turning on the power to your transmitter. If you are using an internal module (like an EVO or Profi), press and hold the button on the board while turning on the power.
- Wait for the LED on the transmitter module (or internal board) to turn green and release the button.
- The units will immediately bind.
- The LED on the transmitter module (or internal board) will now be green.
- The LED on all receiver will now be off.
- Power off the transmitter and receiver.
- They are now ready to be used.
Note: slave receivers will automatically have their channel mapping changed so that channels 6 through 12 appear on output ports 1 through 6. You will need the XDP (or Serial Link with Nano) to change the channel mapping if required.
Note about the RFU - as stated in the manual, you *must* have the RFU connected to an expander unit before binding. The expander provides the power to the RFU, and the expander/RFU becomes a "receiver".
