Page 11: Using The Manual
Using the Manual The 12X offers sophisticated programming features for three model types: airplanes, helicopters and sailplanes. This manual is divided into four sections. The first section, pages I-14 through I-27, includes common transmitter features and specifications plus overall operational information (i.e. charging batteries, binding, range checking and Frequently Asked Questions) sections that are common to all model types. -
Page 12: Section 1: Transmitter And Receiver Features And Specifications
• Resolution: 2048 Note: 12X MV also operates in PPM and S-PCM with included 72Mhz module. (A-PCM not supported in the US by Horizon Hobby - Japan market only) Flash Memory All preprogrammed data is protected by a flash memory that protects stored programming should the main transmitter battery ever fail or need replacing. -

JR R1221 Receiver The R1221 receiver combines one internal with three remote a different RF environment creating a superior RF link in all receivers, offering superior path diversity. The radio system conditions. The JR R1221 allows an optional Flight Log data simultaneously transmits on two frequencies, creating up to recorder (JRPA145) to be used. -

Charging Transmitter/Receiver Using the Included Charger Note: It is imperative that you fully charge both the The pilot lamps should always be on during the charging transmitter and the receiver battery packs prior to each operation. If not, check to make sure that both the transmitter flying session and that you check the condition of the and receiver are switched off. -
Page 15: Control Stick Tension Adjustment
Control Stick Tension Adjustment Stick tension adjustments are accessible through covers that are located on the back of the transmitter (see photo). Carefully pull back the cover or remove the grip to access the gimbals’ tension screws and then, using a small Phillips screwdriver, adjust each gimbal’s tension screw for the desired tension (counterclockwise to loosen stick tension;... -
Page 16: Installing The Receiver
Installing the Receiver Installing the JR R1221 Using double-sided foam tape (servo tape), mount the remote receiver(s) keeping the remote antenna(s) at least 2” away from the primary antenna. Ideally the antennas will be oriented The JR R1221 incorporates a single internal receiver and three perpendicular to each other;... -
Page 17: Binding
Binding Binding is necessary to program the receiver to the transmitter so that the receiver will only recognize that specific transmitter, ignoring signals from any other sources. If the receiver is not bound to the transmitter, the system will not operate. During binding, the servo’s failsafe positions are stored. -
Page 18: Modelmatch
ModelMatch The 12X features patented ModelMatch technology that prevents the operation of a model if the wrong model memory is selected. During binding the receiver actually learns and remembers the specific model memory (1 through 50) that the transmitter is currently programmed to. Later, if the incorrect model memory in the transmitter is selected and the receiver is turned on, the model simply won’t operate, preventing a possible crash. -
Page 19: Smartsafe
SmartSafe This type of fail-safe is especially ideal for most types of electric aircraft and is also recommended for most types of gas- and glow-powered airplanes and helicopters. Here’s how SmartSafe works. Receiver Power Only When the JR R1221 receiver only is turned on (no transmitter signal is present) the throttle has no signal output. -
Page 20: After Connection
After Connection When the transmitter is turned on and after the receiver Some modelers using powered planes prefer to use this failsafe connects to the transmitter, normal control of all channels system to program a slight turn and low throttle to prevent occurs. -
Page 21: Range Testing
Range Testing Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, it’s important to perform a range check. The 12X incorporates a range testing system which, when the bind button on the transmitter is pressed and held, reduces the output power, 90 feet (30 paces) allowing a range check. -
Page 22: Advanced Range Testing
Advanced Range Testing Plug a Flight Log (optional, JRPA145) into the data port in the After one minute release the bind button. A successful range receiver and turn on the system (Tx and Rx). check will have less that ten recorded frame losses. Scrolling the Flight Log through the Antenna fades (A, B, L, R) allows Advance the Flight Log until F- frame losses are displayed by you to evaluate the performance of each receiver. -
Page 23: Flight Log-Optional For Jr R1221 Receiver
Flight Log—Optional for JR R1221 Receiver The Flight Log is compatible with JR R1221 receivers. The Flight Log displays overall RF link performance as well as the individual internal and external receiver link data. Additionally it displays receiver voltage. After a flight and before turning off the receiver or transmitter, plug the Flight Log into the Data port on the JR R1221 receiver. -
Page 24: Receiver Power System Requirements
Receiver Power System Requirements With all radio installations it is vital that the onboard power While JR’s receiver’s minimum operational voltage is 3.5 system provides adequate power without interruption to the volts, it is highly recommended the system be tested per the receiver even when the system is fully loaded (servos at guidelines below to a minimum acceptable voltage of 4.8 maximum flight loads). -
Page 25: Tips On Using 2.4Ghz Systems
Tips On Using 2.4GHz Systems While your DSM equipped 2.4GHz system is intuitive to Q: I’ve heard that the DSM system is less tolerant of low operate, functioning nearly identically to 72MHz systems, voltage. Is that correct? following are a few common questions from customers: A: All DSM receivers have an operational voltage range of 3.5 Q: Which do I turn on first, the transmitter or the receiver? to 10 volts. - Page 26 The wrong model has been selected in the model memory (Model Match). The transmitter is near conductive material (Tx case, truck bed, etc.) and the reflected 2.4GHz energy is preventing the system from connecting (see #2 above). The bind button was unknowingly (or knowingly) depressed and the transmitter was turned on previously, causing the transmitter to no longer recognize the receiver.

Note: This function is only available when Dual Flap is assigned in the Wing Type function. -
Page 81: 68: Pitch Curve
68: Pitch Curve The Pitch Curve is used to control variable pitch propellers.
