Step 2: Set the Channel Range

The internal RF module of X-Lite supports up to 47 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 00-47, with the default number being 01 (use 00 is not recommended).
Once the receiver is set to the desired number and is bound to the X-Lite, 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
or repeat the bind procedure.

Step 4: Bind

Bind refers to X-Lite 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 and 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.
set the failsafe on the receiver (see receiver instructions) in D16 or LR12 mode, select it in the menu and
wait 9 seconds for the failsafe to take effect.
Notice:
The above instructions do not apply to D-series receivers, which require the internal RF module of X-Lite to be in D8
mode. For these receivers, failsafe must be set on the receiver side (see receiver instructions)

Step 6: Range

Range refers to X - L i t e 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.
