Nope. Power is power. Like Sylvester said, hold the bind button while you power up the receiver and transmitter. While you're at it, this is where you set the failsafe positions for the steering and throttle. Just hold the positions where you want the servos/ESC to go if it loses signal, hold the bind button, and then turn both units on. It is a PITA to do all that with only two hands though!
