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 the failsafe mode of channel and press Encoder, then choose the Custom mode. Move the cursor to the channel you want to set failsafe on, and press Encoder. Then rotate the Encoder to the place you want for failsafe and short press Encoder to finish the setting. Wait 9 seconds before the failsafe takes effect. Step 6: RangeRange refers to Horus X10 range check mode. A pre-flight range check should be done before each flying session. Move the cursor to “STATE”, scroll the Encoder to select “RANGE” mode and press Encoder.In range check mode, the effective distance will be decreased to 1/30. Press “STATE” turn to “NORMAL” then 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.Step 2: Set the Channel RangeThe internal RF module of Horus X10 supports 47 channels. The channel range is configurable, and needs double check before use.Step 3: Set the Receiver NumberWhen 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 01-47, with the default number being 01. Once the receiver is set to the desired number and is bound to the Horus X10, 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: BindBind refers to Horus X10 binding mode. Move the cursor to “STATE”, press Encoder button, scroll the Encoder to select “BIND” mode and then press Encoder button again, 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 “STATE” turn to “NORMAL” then exit.Step 5: Set Failsafe modeThere are 3 failsafe modes When enabled : No Pulse, Hold, Custom.Compatible Receivers Number of Output ChannelsD8D16LR12X series (X8R, etc.)L series (L9R, etc.)47 channels47 channels47 channelsV8-II series in D mode (V8FR-II, V8R7-II, V8R4-II, VD5M, etc.)D series (D8R-II plus, D8R-XP, D6FR, D4R-II, etc.) Note: older V8 receivers are not supported by the internal module but can be used with an external DJT module in V8 mode.Overview(Switch Default Settings)SA: 3 positions, Short LeverSB: 3 positions, Long LeverSC: 3 positions, Long LeverSD: 3 positions, Short LeverSE: 3 positions, Short LeverSF: 2 positions, Long LeverSG: 3 positions, Short leverSH: 2 positions, Momentary;Long LeverYou can choose the Switch and defineits positions in the Input and OutputMap screen.Step 1: Set the Mode for Horus X10 Internal RFRefer to the table below and set the HORUS X10 to the mode corresponding to your receiver (D8, D16 or LR12 ).FrSky Electronic Co., Ltd www.frsky-rc.com Contact us : frsky@frsky-rc.com Add:F-4,Building C, Zhongxiu Technology Park, No.3 Yuanxi Road, Wuxi, 214125, Jiangsu, China Technical Support: sales4tech@gmail.com FrSky Electronic Co., Ltd www.frsky-rc.com Contact us : frsky@frsky-rc.com Add:F-4,Building C, Zhongxiu Technology Park, No.3 Yuanxi Road, Wuxi, 214125, Jiangsu, China Technical Support: sales4tech@gmail.com FrSky Electronic Co., Ltd www.frsky-rc.com Contact us : frsky@frsky-rc.com Add:F-4,Building C, Zhongxiu Technology Park, No.3 Yuanxi Road, Wuxi, 214125, Jiangsu, China Technical Support: sales4tech@gmail.com FrSky Electronic Co., Ltd www.frsky-rc.com Contact us : frsky@frsky-rc.com Add:F-4,Building C, Zhongxiu Technology Park, No.3 Yuanxi Road, Wuxi, 214125, Jiangsu, China Technical Support: sales4tech@gmail.com Mode of Horus X10USB PortSmart Port Trainer portDiaplay ScreenSpeaker Power SwichSA, SB, SE, SFStick(J3)(J4)MDL,SYS,RTN,TELE,PgUp/PgDn,LSCharge JackSC, SD, SG, SHS1, S2,Stick(J1)(J2)ENTRSHeadset port

The Li-Ion battery (NiMH) batteries included in the Horus X10 transmitter are not to be confused with Li-Ion batteries, or any other type of rechargeable battery (including NiCd and LiFe). Li-Ion batteries require special charging criteria different than other rechargeable batteries. Use only the FrSky transmitter charger included with this set for, or other chargers approved by FrSky, to charge the Li-Ion batteries in the HORUS X10 transmitter.It’s important to understand the operating characteristics of Nickel–Metal Hydride battery (NiMH). Read the specificationsprinted on the label of your NiMH battery and charger prior to use. Failure to follow the these precautions can quickly result in severe, permanent damage to the battery and its surroundings and possibly result in a FIRE!FrSky is continuously adding features and improvements to our radio systems.

The device can be used in portable exposure condition without restriction. Where to FlyWe recommend that you fly at a recognized model airplane flying field. You can find model clubs and fields by asking your nearest hobby dealer. Always pay particular attention to the flying field’s rules, as well as the presence and location of spectators, the wind direction, and any obstacles on the field. Be very careful flying in areas near power lines, tall buildings, or communication facilities as there may be radio interference in their vicinity. At the flying field To prevent possible damage to your radio gear, turn the power switches on and off in the proper sequence:1. Pull throttle stick to idle position, or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.2. Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen.3. Confirm the proper model memory has been selected.4. Turn on your receiver power.5. Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, don’t attempt to fly until you determine the cause of the problem. (For PCM systems only: Test to ensure that the Failsafe settings are correct by waitingat least 2 minutes after adjusting then, turning the transmitter off and confirming the proper surface/throttle movements. Turn the transmitter back on.)6. Start your engine.7. Complete a full range check.8. After flying, bring the throttle stick to idle position, engage any kill switches or otherwise disarm yourmotor/engine.If you do not turn on your system on and off in this order, you may damage your servos or control surfaces, flood your engine, or in the case of electric-powered or gasoline-powered models, the engine may unexpectedly turn on and cause a severe injury. Make sure your transmitter can’t tip it over. If it is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally moved, causing the engine to speed up. Also, damage to your transmitter may occur. In order to maintain complete control of your aircraft it is important that it remains visible at all times. Flying behind large objects such as buildings, grain bins, etc. must be avoided. Doing so may interrupt the radio frequency link to the model, resulting in loss of control. Do not grasp the transmitter's antenna during flight. Doing so may degrade the quality of the radio frequency transmission and could result in loss of control. As with all radio frequency transmissions, the strongest area of signal transmission is from the sides of the transmitter's antenna. As such, the antenna should not be pointed directly at the model. If your flying style creates this situation, easily move the antenna to correct this situation Before taxiing, be sure to extend the transmitter antenna to its full length.A collapsed antenna will reduce your flying range and cause a loss of control. It is a good idea to avoid pointing the transmitter antenna directly at the model, since the signal is weakest in that direction. Don’t fly in the rain! Water or moisture may enter the transmitter through the antenna or stick openings and cause erratic operation or loss of control. If you must fly in wet weather during a contest, be sure to cover your transmitter with a plastic bag or waterproof barrier. Never fly if lightning is expected. Warning:To ensure the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following precautions. Have regular maintenance performed. Although your Horus X10 protects the model memories with non-volatile EEPROM memory (which does not require periodic replacement) and of a battery, it still should have regular check-ups for wear and tear. We recommend sending your system to your FrSky Service Center annually during your non-flying-season for a complete check-up and service.Battery Charge the batteries! Using the standard Horus battery and charger, always recharge the transmitter and receiver batteries for at least 8 hours before each flying session. A low battery will soon die, causing loss of control and a crash. When you begin your flying session, reset your transmitter’s built-in timer, and during the session pay attention to the duration of usage. Also, if your model uses a separate receiver battery, make sure it is fully charged before each flying session. Stop flying long before your batteries become low on charge. Do not rely on your radio’s low battery warning systems, intended only as a precaution, to tell you when to recharge. Always check your transmitter and receiver batteries prior to each flight.Do not leave a Li-Ion battery unattended at any time while being charged or discharged.Do not attempt to charge Li-Ion batteries with a charger that is NOT designed for NiMH batteries, as permanent damage to the battery and charger could result.Always charge Li-Ion batteries in a fireproof location. Do not charge or discharge Li-Ion batteries on carpet, a cluttered workbench, near paper, plastic, vinyl, leather or wood, or inside an R/C model or full-sized automobile! Monitor the charge area with a smoke or fire alarm.Do not charge NiMH batteries at currents greater than the “1C” rating of the battery (“C” equals the rated capacity of the battery).Do not allow Li-Ion cells to overheat at any time! Cells which reach greater than 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60°C) should be placed in a fireproof location.Li-Ion cells will not charge fully when too cold or show full charge.It is normal for the batteries to become warm during charging, but if the charger or battery becomes excessively hot disconnect the battery from the charger immediately!! Always inspect for potential damage any battery which has previously overheated for potential damage, and do not re-use if you suspect it has been damaged in any way.Do not use a Li-Ion battery if you suspect physical damage has occurred to the pack. Carefully inspect the battery for even the smallest of dents, cracks, splits, punctures or damage to the wiring and connectors. DO NOT allow the battery’s internal electrolyte to get into eyes or on skin—wash affected areas immediately if they come in.IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONSFrSky Electronic Co., Ltd www.frsky-rc.com Contact us : frsky@frsky-rc.com Add:F-4,Building C, Zhongxiu Technology Park, No.3 Yuanxi Road, Wuxi, 214125, Jiangsu, China Technical Support: sales4tech@gmail.com FrSky Electronic Co., Ltd www.frsky-rc.com Contact us : frsky@frsky-rc.com Add:F-4,Building C, Zhongxiu Technology Park, No.3 Yuanxi Road, Wuxi, 214125, Jiangsu, China Technical Support: sales4tech@gmail.com FrSky Electronic Co., Ltd www.frsky-rc.com Contact us : frsky@frsky-rc.com Add:F-4,Building C, Zhongxiu Technology Park, No.3 Yuanxi Road, Wuxi, 214125, Jiangsu, China Technical Support: sales4tech@gmail.com
