Notes and Warnings for Battery & Charger

The 2S Li-Ion battery is for use only in your Horus X10.

Be sure to use the offered 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 Horus X10 transmitter while the voltage warning is blinking as this could cause internal settings and memories to be destroyed.

Be sure to turn off the Horus X10 before charging the battery.

The Power Indicator LED in the charger will be on during charging, and be off after the charging is finished.

Model Setup for Internal RF Module

The internal RF module of FrSky Horus X10 is newly developed by FrSky under the name of IXJT. Enter the RF SYSTEM menu (for details, download it from FrSky website).

Step 1: Set the Mode for Horus X10 Internal RF Refer to the table below and set the HORUS X10 to the mode corresponding to your receiver (D8, D16 or LR12 ).

Note: older V8 receivers are not supported by the internal module but can be used with an external DJT module in V8 mode.

Step 2: Set the Channel Range The 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 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 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: Bind Bind 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 mode There are 3 failsafe modes When enabled: No Pulse, Hold, Custom.

• 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 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.

Notice:

• When failsafe is disabled on X10 Horus side, the failsafe set on receiver side will be used.
• 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 and L-series receivers, which require the internal RF module of Horus X10 to be in D8 mode or LR12 mode. For these receivers, failsafe must be set on the receiver side (see receiver instructions).

Step 6: Range Range 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.

Model Setup for External RF Module

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.
