Method 1: Micro-Sd Card (Any Computer); Method 2: Usb Cable - Turnigy 9XR Pro Communications Manual

Your new 9XR Pro may come with a card already installed containing files such as firmware,
voice clips, manuals, etc. It's a good idea to make a backup of the contents of this card on your
computer.
The transmitter can also save individual model setting files to the Micro-SD card using the
Backup command in the Model Select screen. These can be copied to the computer for storage
and can be edited there, as explained in the manual 9XR Pro: Using the Eepskye Program.
To remove the Micro-SD card, make sure the transmitter is OFF and open the rubber flap. The
card is latched into its holder and must be pressed in momentarily to make it pop out.
Using the Micro-SD card with the computer generally requires that it be inserted into an adapter
that fits either a regular SD card reader slot or a USB port. Make sure the adapter is unlocked if
you need to write to the card (slide the switch on the adapter away from the 'lock' position).
When the card is inserted into a Windows computer, Auto Play should offer 'Open folder to view
files.' If not, go to 'Computer' and find the drive. On a Mac the disk image will automatically
appear on the desktop; double click to open it.
Use the computer in the normal way to read or write to the card as required.
To remove the card from the computer, use "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" on a
Windows machine. On a Mac, move the disc image to Trash.
Make sure the transmitter is OFF when you reinsert the card.

Method 2: USB Cable

You will need a USB cable with a standard connector for the computer at one end and a Mini-B
connector to fit the transmitter at the other (picture above shows the transmitter socket). Such
cables are used by many older smartphones (but note that some phone cables are only for
charging and do not allow communication).
To set up a USB connection, start with the transmitter turned OFF.
Hold both horizontal trim switches (Aileron and Rudder) TOWARDS THE CENTER and turn ON
the transmitter. You will see "Boot Loader Ready" on the transmitter screen and the names of
any firmware files that are in the 'Firmware' folder of the Micro-SD card.
If you are using a Macintosh, you may wish to turn off USB access to the Micro-SD card, as
loading is often very slow (five minutes or more). Simply press the TRN switch once and a
message will repeatedly flash on the screen saying "SD card Off". To turn access back on,
simply press the TRN switch again.
Now plug the USB cable into the transmitter and the computer. Press the connector firmly into
the transmitter connector and make sure it is fully seated. You should soon see the computer
recognize the USB connection and hear the "successful connection" sound.
You will now see "Connecting..." on the transmitter screen, indicating that it is connected to the
computer.
On the computer, you will see two new drives.

ERSK_9X represents the EEPROM memory on the transmitter's main circuit board (where
the model programming and radio firmware is stored).

The other new drive is the removable Micro-SD card in the transmitter. If you turned off
access, the drive will not show
Note that the letters associated with these drives will depend on the configuration of your
computer.
