Suggestion:If,whil e reading the instru ctions ,you are un clear of some of th e procedures or functions and
become st uck,con tinue to r ead on anyway.Oft en,the f unctio n or proce dure will ge explaine d again la ter in
a differe nt way provid ing anot her perspedctive from w hich to un dersta nd it.Another su ggesti on is to
connect t he batte ry,switch and ser vos to th e receiv er and actual ly operate the rad io of your w ordben ch
as you make programming changes.Th en,you'll be ab le to see th e effec ts of your p rogram ming inp uts.
Thank you for p urchasing the digital pro portio nal remo t control system .If this

3.Meaning of special markings
Pay special attention to safety where indicated by the following marks:
DANGER-Procedures which may lead to dangerous conditions and cause death/serious injury if
not carried out properly.
WARNING-Procedures which ma y lead to a dangerous condition or cause death or serious injury
to the user if not carried out properly,or procedures where the probability of superficial injury or
physical dama ge is high.
CAUTIO-proce dures where the possi bi lity of ser ious injuty to the user is smal l,but there is a danger
of injuty ,or physi cal dam age ,if not car ri ed out proper ly.
Warning:Always keep electrical components away from small children.
=Prohibited =Mandatory
FLYING SAFETY
To ensure the safety of yorself and others,please bserve the following precautions:
Have regular maintenance performed.Although our TH9X super protects the model memories
with non-volatile EEPROM memory(which does not require periodic replacement)and not a
battery, it still should have regular checkups for wear and tear,We recommend sending
your system to the FLYSKY Service Center annually during your non-flying-season for a
complete checkup and service.
NI-Cd Battery
Charge the batteries!(See Charging the Ni-Cd batteries,p.9,for details.)Always recharge
the transmitter and receiver batteries for at least 8 hours before each flying session.A
low battery will soon die,causing loss of control and a crash.When you begin your flying
session,reset your TH9Xsuper's built-in timer,and during the session pay attention to the
duration of usage.
Stop flying long before your batteries become low on charge.Do not rely on yout radio's
low battery warning systems,intended only as a precaution,to tell you when to techarge.
Always check yout transmitter and receiver batteries prior to each flight.
Aways pay particular attention to the flying field's rules,as well as the presence and location of
spectators,the wind direction,and any obstacles on the field.Be very careful flying in areas near
power lines,tall buildings,or communication facilities as there maybe radio interference in theit
vicinity.
Before flying,be sure that the frequency you intend to fly with is not in use ,and secure any frequency
Control device(pin,tag,etc)for that frequency before turning on your transmitter,It is never possible
to fly two or nore mo dels on the same frequency at the same time .Even though there are different types of
modulation(AM,FM.PCM)only one model may be flown on a single frequency at any one time.
To prevent possible damage to your radio gear,turn the power switches on and off in the proper sequence:
1.Pull throttle stick to idle position,or otherwise disarm your motor/engne。
2.Turn on the transmitter power and allow your transmitter to reach its home screen
3.Confirm the proper model memory has been selected
4.Fully extend the transmitter antenna
5.Turn on your receiver power
At the flying field
If you must fly away from a club field,be sure there are no other modelers flying within a three-to-
five-mile range,or you may lose control of your aircraft or cause someone else to lose control.
FS-TH9X
3

8.Complete a full range check (see p.9)
9.After flying,bring your throttle stick to idle position,engage any kill switches or otherwise disarm
your motor/engine
11.Turn off transmitter power
10.Turn off receiver power.
While you are getting ready to fly,if you place your transmitter on the ground,be sure that the wind
won't tip it over. If it is knocked over,the throttle stick may be accidentally moved,causing the
engine to speed up.Also ,damage to your transmitter may occur
Before taxiing,be sure to extend the transmitter antenna to its full length .
A collapsed antenna woll reduce your flying range and cause a loss of control It is a good idea to avoid
pointing the transmitter antenna directly at the model ,since the signal is weakest in that direction
Don't fly in the rain!Water or mo isture ma y enter the transmitter through the antenna or stick op-
enings and cause erratic operation or loss lf control If you must fly in wet weather during a contest ,
be sure to cover your transmi tter with a plastic bag or waterproof barrier.Ne ver fly if lightning is expected
If you do not turn on your system in this order,you may damage your servos or control surfaces,flood
your engine,or in the case of electric-powered or gasoline-powered models,the engine may unesp-
ectedly turn on and cause a severe injury
7.Start your engine
6.Test all controls If aservo operates abnormally,don't attempt to fly until you determine the cause
of fhe problem(For PCM systems only:Test to ensure that the FailSafe settings are correct by waiting
at least2 mi-nutes after adjusting then,turning the transmitter off and confirming the proper
surface/throttle movements,Turn the transmitter back on.)

5.2 Charging the Ni-Cd batteries
The transmitter and rec e i v e r b a t teries included with you
FS-TH9X system are recharg e a b l e ,Ni-C d batteries.Ni-C d
batteries require special c a r e and c h a r g ing.
NOTE:T h e batteries are partially charged,b u t will require
a full, overnight charge before the model may be flown.
1.Connect the t r a n s m i t t er charging cord coming from the
A/C wall charger t o t h e c h a r g e jack in the right side of
the transmitter case. The receive r c h a r g i n g c ord may be
connected to the batt e r i e s two d i f f erent ways:The charge
cord may be connec t e d d i r e c t ly to the battery pack, or to
the vacant charge co n n e c t o r (llack)coming from the on/off
switch in t h e model.C h a r g i ng"through the switch"is preferred
as there will be no n e e d d i s c o nnect the battery.
2.Plug the A/C wall charger into a wall outlet.Note:I f t h e w a l l o u t let can be turned
off by a switch i n t h e romm, b e certain t h e s w itch remains on after leaving the room.
Otherwi s e ,the batteries will n o t b e charged!
3.The LEDs(light-emitting diodes)shoul d light red, indicating that c urrent is flowing
and the batteries are b e i n g c h a r g ed.Discharged batteries will tak e about 1 5 h o u r s t o
fully cha r g e .I f u s i ng an aftermarket fast charger,be certain to follow the manufact u r e r 's
instruc t i o n s provided w i t h the charger so you do not overcharge the batteries.NEVER
charge the ba t t e r i e s a t a r ate higher than 1000mA.The batteries should al s o b e discharged
periodi c a l l y t o periodically t o prevent a condition called"m emory".If,for example,
only two flights are mo d e e a c h t i m e you go flying,the batteries will not have"reached
"very far do w n i n t o t h e ir full capacity.After doing this several times the batteries
will"rem e m b e r "a n d eventually"t hink"they can supply only enougt power for two fights.
After two flights t h e b a t t e r ies may not provide enough power to operate the syst e m ,
thus causing a cras h .T o erase a n y p o t ential memory,cycle the batteries by discharging,
then char g i n g t h e m w ith a commercial battery cycler,or leave the system on and exercise
the servo s b y moving t h e t r a n smitter sticks until the even during t h e winter o r periods
of long storage.If us i n g a cycler w i t h a readout,n o te the cajpacity after the batteries
have been c y c l e d .I f t here is a noticeable drop in capacity the batteries should be
replace d .
NOTE :charging your batt e r i e s w i t h the included FLYSKY A/C battery charger is always
safe.However,fast-chargin g w i t h a n a f t e rmarket charger is acceptable as lo n g a s you
know how to p r o p e r l y o perate the charger,NEVER charge at a rate higher t h a n 1000mA.I f
not done co r r e c t l y ,fast-charging can damage the batteries.
