Instruction Manual for FrSky R9 Receiver
Smart Port (S. Port) is a signal wire full duplex digital transmission interface developed by FrSky
Electronic Co., Ltd. All products enabled with Smart Port (including XJT module, XSR,X6R and X8R receiver,
new hub-less sensors, new Smart Dashboard, etc), serial port user data and other user input/output devices
can be connected without limitations for numbers or sequences at a high transmission speed.
Binding Procedure
Binding is the process of uniquely associating a receiver to a transmitter RF module. A transmitter external RF module can
be bound to multiple receivers (not to be used simultaneously). A receiver can only be bound to one RF module.
A: In R9M mode
1. Put the transmitter RF module into binding mode
1.1 For Taranis X9D/X9D Plus/X9E and Taranis Q X7/X7S, turn on the transmitter, go to the MENU – MODEL SETUP –
PAGE 2, choose External RF/Mode R9M LBT (EU) or FCC, and select BIND (OpenTX2.2.1 and its improved versions are
strongly recommended).
1.2 For Horus X12S/X10/X10S, turn on the transmitter, go to the RF SYSTEM, choose External RF (ON), and select BIND
under STATE.
2. Connect the battery to the receiver while holding the Bind button on the receiver. The RED LED on the receiver will flash,
