Step 2: Set the Channel Range
The internal RF module of Taranis X9D Plus supports up to 16 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 00-63, with the default number being 01(use o 00 is not
recommended). Once the receiver is set to the desired number and is bound to the Taranis X9D Plus, 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 Taranis X9D Plus 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, 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 crresponding 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.
● Receiver: set the failsafe on the receiver(see receiver instructions) in D16 mode, select it in the menu and wait 9
seconds for the failsafe to take effec.
Step 6: Range
Range refers to Taranis X9D Plus 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.
