1.Button Functions
● Power Button: Turn the radio transmitter o/on.
● SETUP Button: Enter joystick calibration mode after radio transmitter is powered
on.
● BIND Button: Enter binding mode after radio transmitter is powered on.
There are three buttons on LiteRadio 3 radio transmitter.
2.Power On/O
POWER ON: Long press the power button on the radio transmitter for 3 seconds
until it beeps three times (do re mi) then release. The radio transmitter LED ring will
ash red quickly, then remain blue.
POWER OFF: A long press of the power button on the radio transmitter will turn it
o after three beeps (mi re do).

4.Binding the Receiver
There are the steps to make the LiteRadio 3 enter binding status.
1. Power on the radio transmitter󲞚and wait for its system to load completely. LED
ring will be solid blue if done correctly.
2. Press the bind button on the back of the radio transmitter to enter binding stutas.
The LED ring will be red and ash quickly.
3. The LED ring will change to solid blue 5 seconds later when radio transmitter exits
binding status. If not bind successfully, repeat the󲞚process󲞚above.
5.Switching Protocol
Note: Switching internal protocol is only available for Frsky version radio transmitter.
ExpressLRS version can only switch to the external TX module.
The Frsky version could suppo 4 dierent internal protocols, including Frsky D16
FCC, Frsky D16 LBT, Frsky D8 and Futaba S-FHSS, it also suppos. The protocol is
indicated by the ashing times of the LED when power on, before the buzzer
alarms.
Reason Solution

switches are not in the lowest

State of the LED Ring
The buzzer will alarm three times, which indicates a low batte and needs to be re-
charged.

04
LiteRadio 3 radio transmitter has a built-in 2000mAh batte. It indicates low batte
and needs to be re-charged if blue light ashes slowly and buzzer beeps
continuously. Below charging method for reference:
● The LED ring breathes in red means charging, while in green means fully charged.
● Turn o the radio transmitter.
● Plug in radio transmitter with adapter by USB cable (5V output adapter is
allowed).
6.Charging
Note: LiteRadio 3 Frsky version only work with D16 ACCST 1.X Frsky protocol. So if you use a Frsky
receiver with D16 ACCST 2.X version or ACCESS version, binding will fail.
3. Then the ash color and times of the LED before buzzer alarms will change,
according to the tables above.
1. Power the radio transmitter o;
2. Press and hold the BIND button while power the radio transmitter back on;
To change protocols and TX module, here are the steps:
Red Flash once Internal Frsky D16 FCC (ACCST 1.X Version)
LED Status Protocol Version
Red Flash twice Internal Frsky D16 LBT (ACCST 1.X Version)
Red Flash Three Times Internal Frsky D8
Red Flash Four Times Internal Futaba S-FHSS

7.HID Joystick
It is the safest and quickest method to get staed by using model practice simulator
for staers. LiteRadio 3 radio transmitter suppos most of simulators on market
with comprehensive conguration.
The continue working time for full charged batte is about 15 hours.

8.Joystick Calibration
The joystick data may oset after it has used for a period of time (if joysticks is hit
by physical). User need to re-calibrate joysticks based on following steps.
● After powering on, press SETUP button on the back of remote control radio
transmitter, it hears two "Bee Bee" sounds, and red LED ash quickly (two ashes
each time), which means remote control radio transmitter entered calibration mode.
● Move throttle joystick and direction joystick to middle position, press SETUP
button again, wait until the buzzer beep three "Bee Bee Bee" sounds, red LED light
ashes quickly (two ashes each time), which indicates joystick data has been
acquired and enter into the bounda value calibration mode.
● Slowly rotate the throttle and direction joystick twice around the bounda of the
● Connect the transmitter to computer via USB data cable. Wait for the LED ring
breathes in red or green.
● Turn o radio transmitter.
● Install driver from PC automatically, prompt box pops up after successful
installation. Then, radio transmitter works as joystick human inteace device (AKA
HID device) normally.
Operation steps below:
User needs to manually install driver if PC doesn't install automatically or installed
incorrectly.
DO NOT power on the transmitter rst and connect it to the PC. The USB po is invalid in this
situation.

4.遥控器绑定接收机
3. 接收机进入对频状态，与遥控器对频；
在开机状态下，按下遥控器底部的BIND按键，遥控器将进入绑定状态，该过程为持续
5秒的红灯闪烁，待停止闪烁后，绑定过程结束。
1. 遥控器开机，确保LED灯环处于蓝色常亮；
2. 按一下遥控器底部的BIND按键，遥控器正面的电源按键灯会呈现红色闪烁，此时遥控
器进入时间为5秒的对频状态；
4. 5秒之后遥控器自动退出对频状态，检查遥控器是否对上接收机；如果没有，请重复
上面第二步操作。
5.遥控器协议查看与切换
关机状态下，按电源键开机，在BB响发出声音之前，可以看到LED闪烁，闪烁颜色及次

6.低电量警报及充电
● 关闭遥控器；
● 红灯渐变闪烁，表示正在充电中；绿灯渐变闪烁，表示充电结束。
● 使用USB线连接遥控器和适配器（5V输出的适配器即可，例如手机充电器）；
遥控器已经内置了2000mAh的电池，无需再外接电池。蓝灯慢闪烁，蜂鸣器连续响起，
表示遥控器电池电量较低，需要重新充电。充电方式如下：
如何切换协议：
在关机状态下，先按住遥控器底部的BIND按键，同时按电源键开机，此时LED灯颜色和
闪烁次数将发生变化，LED灯闪烁完毕协议即切换成功，其闪烁次数表示下次开机的协
议版本。
注意：LiteRadio 3 Frsky版本只能够支持D16 ACCST 1.X版本的协议。如果使用Frsky官方接收机，且
该接收机为D16 ACCST 2.X或者ACCESS协议，则无法对频连接使用。

8.摇杆校准
遥控器在使用一段时间之后，例如摇杆受到较重的物理撞击，可能会出现摇杆值发生偏
移的情况。这个时候可以通过校准摇杆值，确保其摇杆值处于中位。
● 将两边的摇杆都移动至中间位置，再次按一下SETUP按键，待蜂鸣器持续发出滴滴滴
声（3声），同时红色LED灯快速闪烁（每次闪烁两下），表示摇杆中值已经校准完毕，
并进入边界值校准。
● 拨到摇杆，使其环绕摇杆边界缓慢转动两圈（逆时针/顺时针都可以），接着再次按一
下SETUP按键，再听到蜂鸣器发出一声长时间滴声（大概3秒），且红色LED灯停止闪
烁，表示摇杆校准完毕。
● 在开机状态下，按一下遥控器背面的SETUP按键，待听到蜂鸣器持续的发出滴滴声
（2声），同时红色LED快速闪烁（每次闪烁两下），表示进入校准模式。
● PC会自动安装驱动，驱动安装成功后弹出提示框，说明电脑已经成功识别到此遥控器
并可以正常使用。
若无法正常识别出遥控器，则可能是电脑没有自动安装驱动，或者识别了错误的驱动程
序，需要重新安装驱动。
注意：遥控器开机状态下连接到电脑，USB口无信号输出，无法使用Joystick功能。
