Remote control overview

TX12MKII has a built-in USB-C charging function for 3.7v to 4.2v lithium battery. The charging circuit is only suitable for 2x 3.7v Li-ion 18650 or 2x 3.7v Limply batteries (2s 7.4v Limo battery pack), the nominal battery voltage is 3.7v, and the maximum charging voltage is 4.2v.
Do not use Life battery packs or 18650 lithium-ion batteries with a nominal voltage of 3.6v to 4.10v. Charging the incorrect type of battery may damage the charger or cause a fire.
Please check the voltage and condition of the battery regularly and never charge it unattended. Always charge in a safe area away from combustible materials. If the remote control gets wet or damaged in any way, do not charge it.
Radio Master does not assume any responsibility for any adverse consequences caused by the use or misuse of this product.

Model selection and protocol selection (CC2500 version)

The TX12MKII comes with a CC2500 single-chip multi-protocol internal RF module, which is compatible with several different protocols. To view the latest list of all compatible protocols, please visit https://www.multi- module.org/ Please note that new protocols will be constantly updated and added to the latest firmware. Some new protocols may require firmware upgrades.

• Long press the MDL button to enter the model settings, select MULTI in the SETUP page, and select the protocol to be used in the sub-options. The system will automatically turn on the corresponding RF module according to the RF protocol you selected.
• Bind [BND] is used to start the binding process.
• Range [RNG] button can reduce the power to 1/30 to facilitate testing of remote-control distance.

 Model selection and protocol selection (ELRS version)

TX12MkII ELRS units are equipped with an internal ELRS module, capable of providing 10mW-250mW
RF output. In non-extreme circumstances, 100mW output at 250Hz update rate is recommended, as higher RF output and update rates may significantly reduce battery life and generate excessive heat.

Bind instructions

1. Turn off the transmitted

2. Cycle power to the receiver 3 times, the receiver LED will flash twice indicating bind mode.

3. Turn on the transmitter, long press the SYS button and choose the Expresser’s LUA under the
