Instruction Manual for FrSky 2.4GHz Taranis X9 Lite/X9 Lite S
Introduction
Taranis X9 Lite/X9 Lite S inherits its classic form factor from the FrSky Taranis X9D series remote control, with the
addition of a program scroll button adding convenience when navigating the menu further improving the user
experience. Some additions the S version has are dual momentary buttons on the top shoulders and hall sensor
gimbals. The changes are not only on the exterior, this upgraded version features Accurate SWR indicator along
with the addition of our PARA Wireless Trainer Function, making it compatible with the FrSky Free Link App and
AirLink S, while the wired training port is still retained. Balance charging for 2S Li-ion battery is now possible via the
USB with an included USB cable.
The Taranis X9 Lite/X9 Lite S also uses the latest ACCESS communication protocol, along with ErskyTX/OpenTX
open-source operating system, which boasts 24 channels with a faster baud rate and lower latency because of its
high-speed module digital interface. ACCESS features like wireless firmware updates and wireless configurations
are completely supported, providing a more reliable more secure link between the transmitter and model. Even
more practical features will be unlocked gradually, making the X9 Lite/X9 Lite S a fully functioning remote control
with a ton of extra features.
