The internal RF module of FrSky Taranis X9E is newly developed by FrSky under the name of XJT.
Enter the MODEL SETUP menu (for details, refer to the Guide included on the SD card, or download it from
FrSky website)
Notice:
● SBUS port always outputs, No Pulse could not
perform properly on it. Set “Hold” or “Custom” for
SBUS port.
● The above instructions do not apply to D-series
receivers, which require the internal RF module of
Taranis X9E to be in D8 mode. For these receivers,
failsafe must be set on the receiver side (see receiver
instructions).
Step 1: Set the Mode for Taranis X9E Internal RF
Refer to the table below and set the Taranis X9E to the mode corresponding to your receiver (D8, D16 or LR12 ).
Step 2: Set the Channel Range
The internal RF module of Taranis X9E supports up to 16 channels. The channel range is configurable, and
needs double check 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 o 00 is not
recommended). Once the receiver is set to the desired number and is bound to the Taranis X9E, 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, repeat the bind procedure.
Step 4: Bind
Bind refers to Taranis X9E binding mode. Move the cursor to “Bind”, press ENTER button, the cursor will
flash and the speaker will beep to remind you that the RF module has entered the bind mode. Then put your
receiver into binding mode and finish the bind procedure(refer to the receiver’s manual for details).Press
Enter or EXIT to exit.
Step 5: Set Failsafe mode
There are 4 failsafe modes: No Pulse , Hold , Custom,Receiver(this mode only used above opentx-v2.0.0
firmware ).
● 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 receiver continues to output the last positions before 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 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.
● Receiver: set the failsafe on the receiver(see receiver instructions) in D16 mode, select it in the menu and
wait 9 seconds for the failsafe to take effec.
Step 6: Range
Range refers to Taranis X9E range check mode. A pre-flight range check should be done before each flying
session. Move the cursor to “Range” and press ENTER. In range check mode, the effective distance will be
decreased to 1/30. Press Enter or EXIT to exit.
The external RF module can be powered on or off by software. The setup process is the same as that for the
internal RF .If you use other brand RF module than FrSky, please choose PPM mode.
Ensure that the battery connector polarity is correct when connecting batteries other than the provided
8cell NiMH battery into the battery compartment, otherwise the Taranis X9E might not be powered on.
Please connect the provided battery in the battery compartment before use.
The eight-cell NiMH battery is for use only in your TARANIS X9E.
Be sure to use the built-in battery charger to charge the battery.
Be careful not to drop the battery.
Don't pull the battery wires as this could produce, short-circuits and cause the battery to explode.
Do not remove the battery from the TARANIS X9E 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.
Be sure to turn off the Taranis X9E before charging the battery.
The Power Indicator LED will be on during charging, and be off after the charging is finished.
