# Binding

The SATE ELRS V3 receiver can be bound to your radio controller using two methods: the Bind Phrase method and the Conventional method.

**Bind Phrase Method:** This method establishes a secure connection between the receiver and the radio controller using a unique bind phrase. By configuring the same bind phrase on both the receiver and radio, multiple receivers can be connected to a single radio controller simultaneously. This ensures a reliable and exclusive link between devices, minimizing the risk of interference.

**Conventional Method:** In this method, the receiver automatically binds to the first active radio controller in binding mode. However, if multiple radio controllers in the vicinity are in binding mode, there is a potential for random binding with one of them, which may lead to unintended connections.

**The Bind Phrase method is generally preferred for its safety and reliability.**

## Bind Phrase Method

1\. From the Device Category dropdown, select SATE ELRS V3.

2\. From the Device dropdown, select SATE ELRS V3 RX.

3\. Select BINDING\_PHRASE and input your custom binding phrase.

4\. Flash the receiver by clicking the Flash button located at the bottom of the page.

**Note:** <mark style="color:red;">Ensure the custom binding phrase entered matches the one configured on your transmitter for proper binding.</mark>

## Conventional Method

The binding process for the SATE ELRS V3 2.4GHz receiver includes the following steps:

* Power the receiver on and off three times consecutively within a 1-second interval.
* Observe the receiver's LED, which should display a double flashing pattern, indicating that the receiver has entered binding mode.
* Initiate the binding process on the transmitter module or radio transmitter. Once the receiver's LED changes to a solid light, the binding process is complete.

These straightforward instructions ensure a smooth and reliable binding procedure for the SATE ELRS V3 2.4GHz receiver.

## Binding Verification

You can verify the SATE ELRS V3 receiver's communication link using the configurator software you are working with. For example, the real-time input preview in the Betaflight Configurator is shown below. When you move the joysticks on the radio controller, the data indicators should respond accordingly, reflecting the input changes.
