FrSky 2.4GHz Access Taranis X9 Lite/ Taranis 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.

FLYING SAFETY
Warning:
To ensure the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following precautions. Have regular maintenance performed. Although your X9 Lite protects the model memories with non-volatile EEPROM memory (which does not require periodic replacement) and of a battery, it still should have regular check-ups for wear and tear. We recommend sending your system to your FrSky Service Center annually during your non-flying-season for a complete check-up and service.
Battery
Using a fully charged battery (DC 6.0~8.4V). A low battery will soon die, causing loss of control and a crash. When you begin your flying session, reset your transmitter’s built-in timer, and during the session pay attention to the duration of usage. Also, if your model used a separate receiver battery, make sure it is fully charged before each flying session.
Stop flying long before your batteries become over discharged. Do not rely on your radio’s low battery warning systems, intended only as a precaution, to tell you when to recharge. Always check your transmitter and receiver batteries prior to each flight.
Where to Fly
We recommend that you fly at a recognized model airplane flying field. You can find model clubs and fields by asking your nearest hobby dealer.
At the flying field
- Pull throttle stick to idle position, or otherwise disarm your motor/engine.
- Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen.
- Confirm the proper model memory has been selected.
- Turn on your receiver power.
- Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, don’t attempt to fly until you determine the cause of the problem.
- Start your engine.
- Complete a full range check.
- After flying, bring the throttle stick to idle position, engage any kill switches or otherwise disarm your motor/ engine.
