Be very careful flying in areas near power lines, tall buildings, or communication facilities as there may be radio interference in their vicinity.
At the flying field
To prevent possible damage to your radio gear, turn the power switches on and off in the proper sequence:

1. Pull throttle stick to idle position, or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.
2. Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen.
3. Confirm the proper model memory has been selected.
4. Turn on your receiver power.
5. Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, don’t attempt to fly until you determine the cause of the problem.
6. Start your engine.
7. Complete a full range check.
8. After flying, bring the throttle stick to idle position, engage any kill switches or otherwise disarm your motor/ engine.

If you do not turn on your system on and off in this order, you may damage your servos or control surfaces, flood your engine, or in the case of electric-powered or gasoline-powered models, the engine may unexpectedly turn on and cause a severe injury.
Make sure your transmitter can’t tip it over. If it is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally moved, causing the engine to speed up. Also, damage to your transmitter may occur.
In order to maintain complete control of your aircraft, it is important that it remains visible at all times. Flying behind large objects such as buildings, grain bins, etc. must be avoided. Doing so may interrupt the radio frequency link to the model, resulting in loss of control.
Do not grasp the transmitter’s antenna during flight. Doing so may degrade the quality of the radio frequency transmission and could result in loss of control.
As with all radio frequency transmissions, the strongest area of signal transmission is from the sides of the transmitter’s antenna. As such, the antenna should not be pointed directly at the model. If your flying style creates this situation, easily move the antenna to correct this situation.
Before taxiing, be sure to extend the transmitter antenna to its full length. A collapsed antenna will reduce your flying range and cause a loss of control. It is a good idea to avoid pointing the transmitter antenna directly at the model since the signal is weakest in that direction.
Don’t fly in the rain! Water or moisture may enter the transmitter through the antenna or stick openings and cause erratic operation or loss of control. If you must fly in wet weather during a contest, be sure to cover your transmitter with a plastic bag or waterproof barrier. Never fly if lightning is expected.

All products enabled with Smart Port (including XJT module, RX8R receiver, new hub-less sensors, new Smart Dashboard, etc), serial port user data and other user input/output devices can be connected without limitations for numbers or sequences at a high transmis-sion speed.

Binding Procedure

Binding is the process of uniquely associating a particular receiver to a transmitter/transmitter module. A transmitter/transmitter module can be bound to multiple receivers (not to be used simultaneously).A receiver can only be bound to one transmitter/transmitter module. Follow the steps below to finish the binding procedure.

1. Put the transmitter/transmitter module into binding mode
   1. For Taranis X9D/X9D Plus/X9E and Taranis Q X7, turn on the transmitter, go to the MENU — MODEL SETUP — PAGE 2, choose Internal or External RF, and select BIND.
   2. For Horus X12S, turn on the transmitter, go to the RF SYSTEM, choose Internal or External RF, and select BIND under STATE.
   3. For transmitter module (XJT as an example), turn on the transmitter while holding the FS button on the module, release the button and the RED LED on XJT module flash.
2. Connect the battery to the receiver while holding the F/S button on the receiver. The RED LED on the receiver will flash, indicating the binding process is completed.
3. Turn off both the transmitter and the receiver.
4. Turn on the transmitter and connect the battery. The GREEN LED on the receiver indicates the receiver is receiving commands from the transmitter. The receiver/transmitter module binding will not have to be repeated, unless one of the two is replaced.
   Note: After binding procedure is completed, recycle the power and check if the receiver is really under control by linked transmitter.

When combine two receivers to become a 16CH receiver, you need to disable telemetry on either one of the two receiver’s. How to switch SBUS / PWM mode

1. Turn on the receiver, if the BLUE LED on the receiver lights , the receiver stays in SBUS mode Otherwise, it stays in the PWM mode.
2. Connect CH1 and CH2 by the jumper before Binding, the receiver will stay in PWM mode. The receiver will enter into SBUS mode without jumper connecting.

Note:

1. SBUS Mode : CH1—CH6 output high precision PWM signal (Error < 0.5 us) , SBUS IN is used for redundancy function &CH8 outputs SBUS signal &CH7 no outputs.
2. PWM Mode : CH1—CH4 output high precision PWM signal (Error < 0.5 us) , CH5—CH8 output ordinary precision, SBUS IN / SBUS OUT will be disabled.

How to Disable/Enable altimeter function

1. The factory default setting is “enabled”.
2. in case you want to disable altimeter functionality bring the receiver into normal operational mode , hold the F/S button to bind > 3 s, the BLUE LED will flash 3 times, then switch successfully and the function will be disabled. (If you want to enable the function, just repeat steps will be okay).

How to switch the output 1 — 8/9 — 16CH

1. The receiver default output 1 — 6 CH (or 8CH),If the user uses the X12S, you need to choose corresponding operations when the remote control to bind. If user uses X7 / X9, you need to connect CH3 and CH4 by the jumper , and then perform binding process , after the successful binding , output channel change successfully. If outputs 9 — 16CH, and user needs to change back to 1 — 8CH, follow the same operation.

Model Setup for Horus X10 Express/Horus X10S Express Internal RF Module

The internal RF module of FrSky Horus X10 Express/Horus X10S Express is newly developed by FrSky under the name of ISRM-S-X10.

Enter the RF SYSTEM menu (for details, download it from FrSky website)

Step 1:

Set the Mode for Horus X10 Express/Horus X10S Express internal RF corresponding to your receiver (ACCESS，ACCST D16)
— Press the MODEL button, Choose the INT MODULE.Then turn ON INTERNAL RF ,select the OUTSIDE or INSIDE ANTENNA( Dual internal antennas and external antenna work simultaneously while selecting the OUTSIDE ANTENNA.)

Step 2：Set the Channel Range

The internal RF module of Horus X10 Express/X10S Express support 24 channnels. the channel range is configurable, and it needs to be double checked before use.

Step 3: Set the Receiver Number

When you create a new model, the system will assign you a receiver number automatically, but this can be easily changed. The range of the receiver number is 01-64, with the default number being 01. Once the receiver is set to the desired number and is bound to the Horus X10 Express/Horus X10S Express, the bind procedure will not need to be repeated unless the receiver number is changed, In this case, set the receiver number to the previous one, repeat the bind procedure.

Step 4 : Registration

In ACCESS, select the STATE [Register] into Registration status. Then Press the F/S button and power on your receiver, and select the “RX Name XX” and [REGISTER] to complete the Registration process then power down the receiver.

Step 5: Automatic binding (Smart Match)

Move the cursor to Rx1[BIND],and select it, power your receiver, select the RX, and complete the process, the system will confirm “Bind successed”. (You do not need to press the “F/S” button in ACCESS to Bind. Refer to the receivers manual for details)

Step 6: Set Failsafe mode

There are 3 failsafe modes when enable: No Pulse, Hold, Custom.

• No Pulse: on loss of signal the receiver produces no pulses on any channel. To use this type, select it in the menu and wait 9 seconds for the failsafe to take effect.
• Hold: the receiver continues to output the last positions before signal was lost. To use this type, select it in the menu and wait 9 seconds for the failsafe to take effect.
• Custom: pre-set to required positions on lost signal. Move the cursor to the failsafe mode of channel and press Encoder, then choose the Custom mode. Move the cursor to the channel you want to set failsafe on, and press Encoder.
  Then rotate the Encoder to set your failsafe for each channel and short press Encoder to finish the setting. Wait 9 seconds before the failsafe takes effect.
  Notice:
• When failsafe is disabled on Horus X10 Express/Horus X10S Express side, the failsafe set on receiver side will be used.
• SBUS port always outputs, does not support the No Pulse failsafe mode. Set “Hold” or “Custom” for SBUS port.

Step 7: Range

FLYING SAFETY

Warning

To ensure the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following precautions.
Have regular maintenance performed. Although your Horus X10 Express/Horus X10S Express protects the model memories with non-volatile EEPROM memory (which does not require periodic replacement) and of a battery, it still should have regular check-ups for wear and tear. We recommend sending your system to your FrSky Service Center annually during your non-flying-season for a complete check-up and service.

Battery

Charge the batteries! Using the standard Horus battery and charger, always recharge the transmitter and receiver batteries before each flying session. A low battery will soon die, causing loss of control and a crash. When you begin your flying session, reset your transmitter’s built-in timer, and during the session pay attention to the duration of usage. Also, if your model uses a separate receiver battery, make sure it is fully charged before each flying session.

Where to Fly

We recommend that you fly at a recognized model airplane flying field. You can find model clubs and fields by asking your nearest hobby dealer.
Always pay particular attention to the flying field’s rules, as well as the presence and location of spectators, the wind direction, and any obstacles on the field. Be very careful flying in areas near power lines, tall buildings, or communication facilities as there may be radio interference in their vicinity.

At the flying field

To prevent possible damage to your radio gear, turn the power switches on and off in the proper sequence:

1. Pull throttle stick to idle position, or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.
2. Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen.
3. Confirm the proper model memory has been selected.
4. Turn on your receiver power.
5. Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, don’t attempt to fly until you determine the cause of the problem. (For PCM systems only: Test to ensure that the Failsafe settings are correct by waiting at least 2 minutes after adjusting then, turning the transmitter off and confirming the proper surface/ throttle movements. Turn the transmitter back on.)
6. Start your motor/engine.
7. Complete a full range check.
8. After flying, bring the throttle stick to idle position, engage any kill switches or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.

If you do not turn on your system on and off in this order, you may damage your servos or control surfaces, flood your engine, or in the case of electric-powered or gasoline-powered models, the engine may unexpectedly turn on and cause a severe injury.

Make sure your transmitter can’t tip it over. If it is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally moved, causing the engine to speed up. Also, damage to your transmitter may occur.

In order to maintain complete control of your aircraft it is important that it remains visible at all times. Flying behind large objects such as buildings, grain bins, etc. must be avoided. Doing so may interrupt the radio frequency link to the model, resulting in loss of control.

Do not grasp the transmitter’s antenna during flight. Doing so may degrade the quality of the radio frequency transmission and could result in loss of control.

As with all radio frequency transmissions, the strongest area of signal transmission is from the sides of the transmitter’s antenna. As such, the antenna should not be pointed directly at the model. If your flying style creates this situation, easily move the antenna to correct this situation

Before taxiing, be sure to extend the transmitter antenna to its full length. A collapsed antenna will reduce your flying range and cause a loss of control. It is a good idea to avoid pointing the transmitter antenna directly at the model, since the signal is weakest in that direction.

Don’t fly in the rain! Water or moisture may enter the transmitter through the antenna or stick openings and cause erratic operation or loss of control. If you must fly in wet weather during a contest, be sure to cover your transmitter with a plastic bag or waterproof barrier. Never fly if lightning is expected.

Li-Ion Battery Safety and Handling instructions

It’s important to understand the operating characteristics of Li-Ion battery. Read the specifications printed on the label of your Li-Ion battery and charger prior to use. Failure to follow the these precauti ons can quickly result in severe, permanent damage to the battery and its surroundings and possibly result in a FIRE!

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

• Do not leave a Li-Ion battery unattended at any time while being charged or discharged.
• Do not attempt to charge Li-Ion batteries with a charger that is NOT designed for Li-Ion batteries, as permanent damage to the battery and charger could result.
• Always charge Li-Ion batteries in a fireproof location. Do not charge or discharge Li-Ion batteries on carpet, a cluttered workbench, near paper, plastic, vinyl, leather or wood, or inside an R/C model or full-sized automobile!
• Monitor the charge area with a smoke or fire alarm.
• Do not charge Li-Ion battery at currents greater than the “1C” rating of the battery (“C” equals the rated capacity of the battery).
• Do not allow Li-Ion cells to overheat at any time! Cells which reach greater than 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60°C) should be placed in a fireproof location.
• Li-Ion cells will not charge fully when too cold or show full charge.
• It is normal for the batteries to become warm during charging, but if the charger or battery becomes excessively hot disconnect the battery from the charger immediately!! Always inspect for potential damage any battery which has previously overheated for potential damage, and do not re-use if you suspect it has been damaged in any way.
• Do not use a Li-Ion battery if you suspect physical damage has occurred to the pack. Carefully inspect the battery for even the smallest of dents, cracks, splits, punctures or damage to the wiring and connectors.
• DO not allow the battery’s internal electrolyte to get into eyes or on skin—wash affected areas immediately if they come in.

SetUp

Installation process

1. Open the transmitter and find a clear position to locate the DHT module, the antenna connector, the small electronic panel. The location of the antenna should be such that there is no metal touching the antenna after it is mounted.
2. Locate the battery power supply line, GND and PPM signal line. These are often a three-wire bundle or ribbon cable connected to a separate transmitter circuit card. Use a voltmeter and/or oscilloscope to help identify the function of each wire. (RED→V+; BLACK→GND; YELLOW→PPM)
3. Drill four holes on the transmitter as the picture guided, two holes on both sides are designed for screw installation, others for green/red color LED and the button. （see picture above ）; then drill another hole for installing toggle switch in a suitable place.
4. Attach the transmitter antenna to the RF connector. Turn the transmitter power on and check the power indicator LED on the new DHT control panel. It is normally light RED.

Bind procedure

1. Ascertain that the transmitter is in the PPM mode. Turn the transmitter off.
2. Change toggle switch position to required mode to work with the receiver you are using. See the table above.
3. Turn your transmitter on while holding the F/S button on the transmitter module. Release it in a few seconds. The RED LED on the transmitter module will flash, indicating the transmitter is ready to bind to the receiver.
4. Connect the battery to the receiver while holding the F/S button on the receiver. The RED LED on the receiver will flash, indicating the binding process is completed. Turn off both the transmitter and receiver.
5. Turn on the transmitter and re-connect the battery to the receiver. The RED SOLID LED on the receiver will indicate the receiver is receiving commands from the transmitter. The receiver/transmitter binding will not have to be repeated unless one of the two is replaced.
   After the above steps are completed, both the transmitter and the receiver are ready to be used.
   Warning: When working with two-way telemetry receivers (D8R or D6FR), make sure that the battery and servos are plugged into CH1~CH8/CH1~CH6 rather than the side port (A2/Rx), otherwise damage may occur.

Range Check

A pre-flight range check should be done before each flying session. Reflections from nearby metal fences, concrete buildings, or trees can cause loss of signal both during the range check and during flight.
The following steps are to be followed to perform the range check of the model before flight:
Place the model at least 60cm (two feet) above non-metal contaminated ground (e.g. on a wooden bench).

1. The receiver antennas should be separated in the model, as described in the receiver manual, and not touching the ground.
2. Place the antenna of the transmitter in a vertical position.
3. Turn on the transmitter and receiver, press the F/S button of the transmitter for 4 seconds to enter range check mode, the RED LED of the transmitter module will be off, GREEN LED will flash rapidly, the BEEPER will sound. The effective distance will be decreased to 1/30 of full range.
4. Walk away from the model while simultaneously operating the controls on the transmitter, confirming that all controls operate normally to a distance of at least 30 meters (~30 yds).
5. Press the F/S button for 1S-4S to exit range check mode, the RED LED will be back on, indicating normal operation is activated.

Signal lose Indicator and failsafe setting

In some special circumstances, such as strong interference, the signal may be lost. When a signal is lost in a short period, the receiver continues to try to search for the transmitter, at the same time it keeps the last command from the transmitter, until a new command is received.

Failsafe is a useful feature in which all controls move to a preset position whenever the control signal is lost for a period of time. FrSky receivers support failsafe function for all channels. Follow the steps below to set failsafe:

1. Bind the receiver first and turn on both transmitter and receiver;
2. Move all controls to that desired as the failsafe position;
3. Press briefly the F/S button of the receiver (less than 1 second), the transmitter module will make a long “beep” (for D8R only) or the GREEN LED of the receiver will flash twice, indicating the failsafe position has been set in the receiver.
   To disable the failsafe function, re-bind the receiver.
