  3. Replace battery compartment cover.

Low battery alarm : When the battery is lower than 4.2v, the G.LED on the p anel will flash slowly.

Instructions

After setting up, follow the instructions below to operate the system.

Power On

Follow the steps below to turn on the transmitter

  1. Check to make sure that that battery is fully charged and installed correctly.
  2. Toggle the switch to the [ON] position. When active the R.LED will be lit.
  3. Power on the receiver.
  4. For safety always power on the transmitter before the receiver.
    Note Operate with caution in order to avoid damage or injury.
    Note Make sure that the throttle is at its lowest position and the switches are set to their up position

Binding
The transmitter and receiver have already been bound at the factory.

However if the receiver needs to be replaced or additional receivers bound follow these steps:

  1. Turn on the transmitter while holding the bind button to enter bind mode. G.LED will start flashing quickly.

  2. Once in bind mode release the bind button.

  3. The receiver will enter bind mode atomically when powered on.

  4. Once binding is successful the receiver’s LED will flash slowly and the transmitter’s LED will remain solid after being rebooted.
    Note : When binding, put the transmitter into bind mode first, then the receiver.

  5. Applicable to the FS-G4P-BS transmitter and the FS-R4P-BS receiver. Different receivers have different bind procedures. For more information visit the FLYSKY website for manuals and other related information.

  6. Product information is updated regularly, please visit our website for more information.

Stick Calibration
This function is used to set the neutral position for throttle trigger and steering wheel. Every transmitter is calibrated before leaving the factory, however if recalibration is required, please follow these steps:

  1. Turn and hold the wheel as far clockwise as it will turn, hold the throttle all the way forward, then turn on the transmitter in calibration mode.
  2. The R.LED and G.LED will be in a state of two-time flashing and on off.
  3. Calibrate wheel: Turn the wheel completely clockwise, then completely counterclockwise.
  4. When calibration is completed the R.LED will be off.
  5. Trigger calibration: Pull the trigger back then forward as far as it will go.
  6. When calibration is completed the G.LED will be off.
  7. Once calibration is complete press the bind to save and exit.

Power Off
Follow the steps below to turn off the system:

  1. Disconnect the receiver power.
  2. Toggle the transmitter’s power switch to the [OFF] position.

Danger
Make sure to disconnect the receiver power before turning off the transmitter. Failure to do so may lead to damage or serious injury.

System Functions

This section focuses on the functions and how to use them.

Channel Description
The transmitter outputs a total of 4 channels, which are allocated as follows:

  • CH1 :Steering Wheel
  • CH2 :Throttle Trigger
  • CH3 :Three-position Switch
  • CH4 :Reset Button

Note : By default the output of CH4 is 1000us, after which pressing the button will toggle between 1000 and 2000us.

Channel Reverse
This function is used to adjust each channels direction of movement in relation to its input. The ST.REV / TH.REV switches are the reverse buttons for CH1 and CH2. If the switch is up it indicates reverse, and the down indicates normal

Trims
The ST.TRIM is the trims for CH1 (steering),and can be multiplexed as trims of CH3 and CH4. For multiplexing switching mode, refer to [5.5 Mode Switching].

  • TH.TRIMis the trims for CH2 (throttle).
  • Adjustment range : -120us- + 120us, each step is 4us;
  • ST.TRIM + / TH.TRIM +: Increases adjustment step;
  • ST.TRIM- / TH.TRIM -: Decreases adjustment step

LED Indicator:

  • When using the trim keys the G.LED will flash slowly on short presses and quickly on long presses.
  • When the trim adjustment value is at the netrual position, the G.LED will flash twice slowly.
  • When the trim adjustment value is at both ends (+ 120us / -120us), the trim adjustment is at its maximum and as such G.LED will not flash(If the fine adjustment value has been adjusted to + 120us, then press ST.TRIM + / TH.TRIM + key is invalid and G.LED has no indications.)

D/R
ST.D / R is for servo travel adjustment, which can be multiplexed as CH2 (throttle), CH3, CH4 servo travel adjustment, refer to [5.5 Mode Switch] for multiplex switching mode;

  • Adjustment range : 0-120%(the default is 100%), the step is 5%.
  • ST.D / R +: Increases servo travel.
  • ST.D / R -: Decreases servo travel.

LED Indicator:

  • When using the trim keys the G.LED will flash slowly on short presses and quickly on long presses.
  • When the ratio value is at both ends (0/120%), the ST.D / R button is at its maximum and as such G.LED will not flash(if the ratio value has been adjusted to 120%, then press ST.D/R+ key is invalid and G.LED has Instructions)

Mode switching
This function is for reusing the ST.TRIM and ST.D / R buttons for different channels (Refer to [5.3 Trims] and [5.4 D/R).

Function settings:
Under normal power-on, quickly press the Bind button twice (within 1 second) to cycle through modes 1, 2, 3, and

The default setting when powering on is mode 1.

  • Mode 1 : G.LED flashes slowly once, ST.TRIM is CH1 trim adjustment, ST.D / R is servo travel adjustment.
  • Mode 2 : G.LED flashes twice slowly, ST.TRIM is CH1 trim adjustment, ST.D / R is CH2 servo travel adjustment.
  • Mode 3 : G.LED flashes three times slowly, ST.TRIM is CH3 trim adjustment, ST.D / R is CH3 servo travel adjustment.
  • Mode 4 : G.LED flashes slowly four times, ST.TRIM is CH4 trim adjustment, ST.D / R is CH4 servo travel adjustment.

Failsafe
This function dictates what the receiver will do in the event that it loses signal from the transmitter, this includes servo position etc.

Function settings:

  1. Turn on the transmitter and make sure it is connected to the receiver.
  2. Hold the control surface at the desired failsafe position.
  3. Press and hold the bind button for 3 seconds, if the G.LED starts flashes for 2 seconds, indicating that the settings are successful.

Note : The fail-safe function has not set at the factory by default. If no failsafe setting has been set, then the receiver will maintain the output of the last signal when the signal is lost.

Beginner Mode
Beginner mode is designed for the people who is new to the hobby. In this mode the throttle has been limited to 50 percent, The channel range defaults has been set to 1250~1500~1750us.

Function settings:
To switch between beginner and normal modes, press and hold the CH4 button while turning the steering wheel completely counterclockwise as far as it can, and at the same time, power on the transmitter.

Note : By default, the system is set to normal mode. If the system has set to beginner mode.

The G.LED will be in a state of two-time flashing and on off, and keep the state for 3 seconds during power on.
