User Manual

has throttle on the right and elevator on the left. Using the on-screen diagram as a guide, select
the mode that matches the physical setup of your transmitter (instructions can be found on-line
about how to change the physical transmitter mode if necessary).
Make sure none of the stick functions (RUD, ELE, etc.) is highlighted, as that would mean the stick
direction is reversed relative to trim direction. Only if you modify the transmitter to use a different
type of stick might you want to use this capability.
Note that Channel Order and Stick Mode are two separate and unrelated settings.
Calibration: Short presses of either the LEFT or RIGHT navigation button will take you to page
9/11, where sticks and potentiometers (pots) are calibrated. Be sure not to skip this vital step!
Follow the instructions on the screen, beginning by pressing the MENU key. You will be asked to
centre the sticks and pots. When that's done you are asked to move each stick to the extreme
edges of its total movement. Don't force the sticks, just move them gently to the ends of travel,
using normal pressure. When you get back to the start page as shown above you have finished.
Battery Voltage Calibration: This is important as it makes sure that your alarms are working to
the correct voltage. Press LEFT to get to screen 8/11, where the voltage at the bottom can be
adjusted to match the actual measured transmitter battery voltage, ensuring that the value on the
home screen is accurate. For very important information about enabling a battery warning and the
settings to use for your particular type of battery, please see 9XR: Introduction to the Hardware.
Other Settings: The other settings in the radio setup screens, such as owner name, backlight
settings, etc. are discussed in 9XR Pro: Ersky9x Explained and can be ignored for now.
Setting up a Model
It’s time to move from the Radio Setup side of programming, which applies to all models, to Model
Setup, which must be done for each separate model.
Press LONG EXIT to get back to the Home pages.
Model Select
From the Home page, press LONG RIGHT to get to the Model Select page.
(Note that a short right or left press in some home pages will simply change the channels
displayed from 1-8 to 9-16 or 17-24. This can be very confusing, so be sure to press firmly for half
a second or so.)
You will probably see Model 01 as the only named model (unless you have already been playing
with the radio!).
