Registration & Automatic binding (Smart Match )

With the FrSky ACCESS protocol, the transmitter/transmitter module can bind receiver without using the “F/S” button.
Follow the step below to finish the Registration & binding procedure:

Put the transmitter/transmitter module into [Reg] status.
1.1 For Taranis X9D Plus 2019 as an example, turn on the transmitter, go to the MENU-MODEL SETUP-PAGE 2,choose External RF-Mode R9M ACCESS, then select [Register].
1.2 For Horus X10 Express as an example, turn on the transmitter, go to the MODEL- EXT MODULE, Turn on the EXTERNAL RF, choose MODE [R9M ACCESS], then select STATE [REGISTER].
Connect the battery to the receiver while holding the F/S button on the receiver. The RED LED and GREEN LED on the receiver will be on, indicating into the [Reg] status. Select [ENTER] on the transmitter, The RED LED and GREEN LED on the receiver will flash, and the transmitter displays [Registration ok].
Turn off the receiver.
Move the cursor to select the receiver 1 [Bind].
Connect the battery to the receiver, the GREEN LED on the receiver will be on, indicating into the [Bind] status. Select the RX, the GREEN LED on the receiver will keep lit, the RED LED will flash, and the transmitter displays [Bind successful].
The transmitter exit [Bind], the receiver GREEN LED will flash, RED LED will be off, indicating working normally.

Note: After binding procedure is completed, resupply the power and check if the receiver is truly communicating with the transmitter.

How to set RF power

For Taranis Series transmitters, turn on the transmitter, go to the MENU-MODEL SETUP-PAGE2. Select the RF Power. How to set RF power

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 range check and during the flight. Normally，the RSSI is about 45-50 at 150m in range check
mode.

Place the model at least 60cm (two feet) above non-metal contaminated ground (e.g on a wooden bench). The receiver antenna should be in vertical position.
For Taranis X9D Plus 2019 as an example, turn on the transmitter and the receiver, go to: MODEL/SETUP/External RF Mode R9M ACCESS/Range.
For Horus X10 Express as an example, turn on the transmitter and the receiver, go to: MDL/RF SYSTEM/External RF (ON)/STATE (RANGE).

How to Set Failsafe mode (on the transmitter)

There are 3 failsafe modes: 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 model will maintain the last position after the signal is lost. To use this type, select it in the menu and wait 9 seconds for the failsafe to take effect.
Custom: the customized position of each individual channel. The model will move to the pre-set position after the signal is lost. Move the cursor to “Set” and press ENTER, you will see FAILSAFE SETTING screen below. Move the cursor to the channel you want to set failsafe on, and press ENTER. 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 ENTER to finish the setting. Wait 9 seconds before the failsafe takes effect.

Note: If failsafe is not set, the model will hold the last position after signal is lost, thus it may fly away or cause injury.
