You are correct in assuming that the switch has to be connected to the digital inputs on the RC.
The three switches are for the 2 positions and the ground.
I will try to make a picture:

There are 2 positives because there is 2 positions and either one can be on, while one is on the other will be off.
Check the documentation for more specifics on wiring them.
