Switches and Functions
Charging Instructions
The T8 Pro has a built in 1000mah 3.7v Battery. The built in USB-C charger will charge your batteries by connecting the supplied USB-C cable to any suitable USB power outlet. We suggest using a regular 2amp 5v USB power adapter.
Charge status and battery Level: The 5 LEDS below the neck strap loop indicate the charging status. When the LEDs light up from left to right the T8 is charging. Each of the 5 LEDs indicates 20% of the battery capacity. 5 LEDs shows 100% charge, 4 LEDs 80%, 3 LEDs 60%, 2 LEDs 40%, 1 LED 20%. When the radios power is low and the T8 requires charging all 5 battery status LEDs will flash at the same time. Please recharge the batter before using the radio any further
Using your T8
Press and hold the Power button until you feel a vibration feedback. The radio
is now on. If the throttle or switches are not in the correct position the
Power LED will be RED. Please reset the switches to the correct position and
move the throttle to the lowest point. The Power LED will turn GREEN to
indicate the radio is now ready to use. To Turn off your T8 press and hold the
power button until you feel a vibration feedback and the radio will turn off.
If the LED is RED when turning off disconnect power to your model first.
Model selection and protocol selection
T8 PRO comes with a Multi-Module powered CC2500 RF chip, which is compatible
with many different protocols. To view the latest list of all compatible
protocols, please visit https://www.multi-module.org/. Please note that new
