Registration and pairing

Before you can start using your receiver, you must first register it.

Procedure:

1. Put the transmitter into the [Reg] status.
   • Turn on the transmitter, navigate to Page 1 of the Model setup menu, choose Internal or External RF and select [Reg].
2. Put the receiver into the [Reg] status.
   • Connect the battery to the receiver while holding the pairing button on the receiver. The red and green LEDs on the receiver are on, indicating the [Reg] status.
3. Receiver will appear in the Register menu. Select "Register" by pressing [Enter]
4. Turn off the receiver.
5. Use the cursor to select the RX1 [Bind].
6. Connect the battery to the receiver. The green LED flashes, indicating the [Bind] status. Select the RX, the green LED stays on, and the transmitter displays [Bind successful].
7. Confirm the pairing by pressing [Ok]. The green LED is on and the red LED is off, indicating normal operation.

Note Once the receiver is registered, the button is not needed anymore in the binding process.

How to switch the F.Port

Select the Receiver, press the ENTER button, select the Options, and choose the F.Port.

OTA ("Over The Air") firmware update

Navigate to SD CARD 2/7 and select the FW. Press the enter button, select [Flash receiver OTA], and power on the receiver. Select the RX, confirm with [ENTER] and complete the flash process. The transmitter will display [Flash successful]. Turn the receiver off and on again and wait for 3 seconds. The Green LED will start flashing, indicating the receiver works properly.

Note Please do not start another pairing in close proximity while the firmware update is in progress.

Note Update the firmware after pairing the receiver.

Range Check

A 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 range check and the flight. In Range check mode, the RF power and range are decreased to 1/30–1/10 of the normal mode.

* The signal is completely lost is recommended as the node to complete the range test.

1. Place the model at least 60 cm (two feet) above a non-metal contaminated surface (e.g. a wooden bench). The receiver antenna should be in a vertical position.
2. For Taranis X-Lite Pro as an example, turn on the transmitter and power on the receiver, go to: SETUP 2/13 /Internal RF/ Module [Rng].
3. For the transmitter RF module, please refer to the respective manual.

For more operation descriptions and instructions, please refer to the respective manual.

Failsafe emergency rates

When Fail-safe is turned on, 3 modes are available: No signal, Hold, Custom.

No signal: When the signal is lost, the receiver does not send a control signal to rates on any channel. To use this mode, select it from the menu and wait 9 seconds for the Fail-safe setting change to take effect.

Hold: The receiver keeps the rates as they were before the signal was lost. To use this type, select it from the menu and wait 9 seconds for the Fail-safe setting change to take effect.

Custom: The receiver keeps the rate values on all channels as you preselect them. Select the Fail-safe setting menu. Switch from Disconnect/Hold/Not Set to "Custom". Select the channel for which you want to set fail-safe rates and confirm the selection. Then set the rates on each desired channel and confirm the selection. Wait 9 seconds for the Fail-safe setting change to take effect.

Note: If the fail-safe is not set, the model will always operate with the last functional state of the channels before the signal loss. This could potentially cause damage. If the fail-safe is disabled on the RF module side, the receiver will go to the default Hold mode. Do not set the Fail-safe mode for the S.BUS port to No Signal mode, as the signal would be continuously transmitted. Set the S.BUS port to Hold or Custom mode instead.
