channels with a faster baud rate and lower latency with a high-speed module
digital interface. Along with the new spectrum analysis function added to the
OpenTX firmware, it is now possible to check the airwaves for RF noise with an
accurate SWR indicator. This version will give you a further improved
experience based on the classic Taranis remote control. Additionally, tons of
extra upcoming features that ACCESS brings will make this an ideal transmitter
for any skill level.
The SE 2019 version is installed with the upgraded switches and M9 hall sensor

About USB 2S Li-battery balance charing:
The Green Power indicator LED states:
Led on: charging
Led off: charge end
Led flash: charge fault
Note:
- Charge the battery with the adapter (power 5V@2.1A) when you use the USB charging function.
- The lower the initial charging voltage, the better the charging effect is when the voltage difference between the two cells exceeds 50 mV.
Caution: Only 2S Li battery without a protective circuit can be applied to the balance charging system, and please do not charge any other types of battery.
Warnings for Battery
Do not remove the battery from the X9D Plus 2019/X9D Plus SE 2019 transmitter
while the voltage warning is blinking as this could cause internal settings
and memories to be destroyed. Do not use the transmitter if a “Backup Error”
warning occurs.

Model Setup for Taranis X9D Plus 2019/Taranis X9D Plus SE 2019 Internal RF Module
Enter the MODEL SETUP menu.
Step 1: Set the Mode for Taranis X9D Plus 2019/Taranis X9D Plus SE 2019
Internal RF.
Go to the MODEL SETUP menu, and select the Internal RF, select [Mode]
[ACCESS].
Step 2: Set the Channel Range
The Internal RF module of Taranis X9D Plus 2019/Taranis X9D Plus SE 2019
supports up to 24 channels. The channel range is configurable and needs to be
confirmed 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 00-63, with the default number being 01 (use 00 is not recommended).
Once the receiver is set to the desired number and is bound to the Taranis X9D
Plus 2019/Taranis X9D Plus SE 2019, the bind procedure will not need to be
repeated unless the receiver number is changed. In this case, either set the
receiver number to the previous one or repeat the bind procedure.
Step 4: Registration
In ACCESS, select the Module [Register] into Registration status. Then Press
the F/S button and power on your receiver, and select the “RX Name XX” and
[ENTER] to complete the Registration process then power down the receiver.
** Note: If two or three receivers are used at the same time, the UID
should be set to different values.
Step 5: Automatic binding (Smart MatchTM )**
Move the cursor to Receiver1[Bind], and select it, power your receiver, select
the RX and complete the process, the system will confirm “Bind successful”.
(You do not need to press the “F/S” button in ACCESS to Bind. Refer to the
receiver’s manual for details)
Step 6: Set Failsafe mode
There are 4 failsafe modes: No pulse, Hold, Custom, and receiver. No Pulse: on
the 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 the 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 “Set”
and press the Scroll Button, and you can see the FAILSAFE SETTING screen
below. Move the cursor to the channel you want to set failsafe on, and press
the Scroll Button. When moving the corresponding sticks or switches, you will
see the channel bar moving. Move the channel bar to the place you want for
failsafe and long-press the Scroll Button to finish the setting. Wait 9
seconds before the failsafe takes effect.
Receiver: set the failsafe on the receiver (see receiver instructions) in
ACCESS, select it in the menu, and wait 9 seconds for the failsafe to take
effect.
Step 7: Range
Range refers to Taranis X9D Plus 2019/Taranis X9D Plus SE 2019 range check
mode. A pre-flight range check should be done before each flying session. Move
the cursor to [Range] and press the Scroll Button. In range check mode, the
effective distance will be decreased to 1/30. Press the Scroll Button or EXIT
to exit.

FLYING SAFETY
Warning:
To ensure the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following
precautions.
** Have regular maintenance been performed? Although your Taranis X9D Plus
2019/Taranis X9D Plus SE 2019 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
**Using a fully charged battery (DC 6.5~8.4V). 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 using a separate receiver battery, make
sure it is fully charged before each flying session.
Stop flying long before your batteries become over-discharged. Do not rely
on your radio’s low battery warning systems, intended only as a precaution, to
tell you when to recharge. Always check your transmitter and receiver
batteries prior to each flight.
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:
- Pull throttle stick to idle position, or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.
- Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen.
- Confirm the proper model memory has been selected.
- Turn on your receiver power.
- Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, don’t attempt to fly until you determine the cause of the problem.
- Start your engine.
- Complete a full range check.
- 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.
