How far are you from the AR-400? You should try to be at least 3 feet away when binding. You can also try pointing the antenna directly at the receiver (RX).

I have a similar issue with my DX7 and my nanoQXs. Never could get it figured out so I had to use my DX6i.

If you're trying to bind a receiver to a memory slot already assigned to another model, it won't work. Make sure you start with a NEW model on the transmitter then go from there.

Even if nothing is assigned to the memory slot do a reset on that slot then try again.

The only other thing I can think of is your bind plug is bad. You can use needle nose pliers to connect to two outer pins to put the rx in bind mode.

I always power on the TX first then power on the rx.

How old is your DX6i? Is it dsmx or dsm2?

Its the older one dsm2 i think i took it into my local model shop today and they kindly tried one of there dx6is and it conected strate away so i think its the transmitter thats bad i rang up horizon hobby and they sed they sort it free of charge hopefully they tell me wats up with it ill post the out come

 

[SMaxxin]

[thumbson]
