Introduction
With the demand for further extending the legacy of the Horus Series Transmitters, the Horus X10/S Express version
was born. With many new updates like applying the ACCESS protocol and hardware tweaks.
Horus X10/S Express use the ACCESS communication protocol, it boasts 24 channels with a faster baud rate and
lower latency equipped with a high-speed module digital interface. Along with the new spectrum analysis function and
added FrOS/OpenTX firmware, it is now possible to check the airwaves for RF noise.
Both X10 and X10S Express support balancing charge for 2S Li-ion battery via a collateral USB cable. The accessible
battery compartment design is another change worth mentioning, with two 18650 Li-ion batteries you can expect to be
able to fly all day. The Express carries forward all of their predecessor’ features like the industrial LCD color screen,
and the highly-accuracy M10/MC12P hall sensor gimbals which offer the most precise control. Additionally, it features
a remarkable PARA wireless trainer function which also makes them compatible with the FrSky Free Link App and
AirLink S. All that makes the Express version an ideal transmitter for, gliders, helis, multirotor and every type of
fixed-wing imaginable.

Li-Ion Battery Safety and Handling instructions
It’s important to understand the operating characteristics of Li-Ion battery. Read the specifications printed on the
label of your Li-Ion battery and charger prior to use. Failure to follow the these precautions can quickly result in
severe, permanent damage to the battery and its surroundings and possibly result in a FIRE!
Do not leave a Li-Ion battery unattended at any time while being charged or discharged.
Do not attempt to charge Li-Ion batteries with a charger that is NOT designed for Li-Ion batteries, as permanent
damage to the battery and charger could result.
Always charge Li-Ion batteries in a fireproof location. Do not charge or discharge Li-Ion batteries on carpet, a
cluttered workbench, near paper, plastic, vinyl, leather or wood, or inside an R/C model or full-sized automobile!
Monitor the charge area with a smoke or fire alarm.
Do not charge Li-Ion battery at currents greater than the “1C” rating of the battery (“C” equals the rated capacity
of the battery).
Do not allow Li-Ion cells to overheat at any time! Cells which reach greater than 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60°C)
should be placed in a fireproof location.
Li-Ion cells will not charge fully when too cold or show full charge.
It is normal for the batteries to become warm during charging, but if the charger or battery becomes excessively
hot disconnect the battery from the charger immediately!! Always inspect for potential damage any battery
which has previously overheated for potential damage, and do not re-use if you suspect it has been damaged
in any way.
Do not use a Li-Ion battery if you suspect physical damage has occurred to the pack. Carefully inspect the
battery for even the smallest of dents, cracks, splits, punctures or damage to the wiring and connectors.
DO not allow the battery’s internal electrolyte to get into eyes or on skin—wash affected areas immediately
if they come in.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT! The Li-Ion battery are not to be confused with any other type of rechargeable battery (including
NiCd and LiFe). Li-Ion batteries require special charging criteria different than other rechargeable batteries.

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.
Always 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 may be radio interference in their vicinity.
At the flying field
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/engine.
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. Turn on your receiver power.
5. Test all controls. If a servo operates abnormally, don’t attempt to fly until you determine the cause
of the problem. (For PCM systems only: Test to ensure that the Failsafe settings are correct by
waiting at least 2 minutes after adjusting then, turning the transmitter off and confirming the proper
surface/throttle movements. Turn the transmitter back on.)
6. Start your engine.
7. Complete a full range check.
8. After flying, bring the throttle stick to idle position, engage any kill switches or otherwise disarm
your motor/engine.
If you do not turn on your system on and off 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 unexpect-
edly turn on and cause a severe injury.
Make sure your transmitter can’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.
In order to maintain complete control of your aircraft it is important that it remains visible at all times. Flying
behind large objects such as buildings, grain bins, etc. must be avoided. Doing so may interrupt the radio
frequency link to the model, resulting in loss of control.
Do not grasp the transmitter's antenna during flight. Doing so may degrade the quality of the radio frequency
transmission and could result in loss of control.
As with all radio frequency transmissions, the strongest area of signal transmission is from the sides of
the transmitter's antenna. As such, the antenna should not be pointed directly at the model. If your flying style
creates this situation, easily move the antenna to correct this situation
Before taxiing, be sure to extend the transmitter antenna to its full length.
A collapsed antenna will 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 moisture may enter the transmitter through the antenna or stick openings
and cause erratic operation or loss of control. If you must fly in wet weather during a contest, be sure to cover
your transmitter with a plastic bag or waterproof barrier. Never fly if lightning is expected.
Stop flying long before your batteries become low on charge. 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.

FLYING SAFETY
Warning:
To ensure the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following precautions.
Have regular maintenance performed. Although your Horus X12S 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
Charge the batteries! Using the standard Horus battery and charger, 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 transmitter’s built-in timer, and
during the session pay attention to the duration of usage. Also, if your model uses a separate receiver
battery, make sure it is fully charged before each flying session.
Model Setup for Horus X10 Express/Horus X10S Express External RF Module
The external RF module can be powered on or off by
software. The setup process is the same as that for the
internal RF. External modules should be closed when
not in use.
Step 6: Set Failsafe mode
There are 3 failsafe modes when enable: No Pulse, Hold, Custom.
Then rotate the Encoder to set your failsafe for each channel and short press Encoder to finish the setting. Wait 9
seconds before the failsafe takes effect.
Notice:
● When failsafe is disabled on Horus X10 Express/Horus X10S Express side, the failsafe set on receiver side will
be used.
● SBUS port does not support the No Pulse failsafe mode and always outputs. Set “Hold” or “Custom” for SBUS
port.
●
No Pulse: on loss of signal the receiver produces no
pulses on any channel. To use this type, select it in the
menu and wait 9 seconds for the failsafe to take effect.
● Hold: the receiver continues to output the last
positions before signal was lost. To use this type, select
it in the menu and wait 9 seconds for the failsafe to take
effect.
● Custom: pre-set to required positions on lost signal.
Move the cursor to the failsafe mode of channel and
press
Encoder, then choose the Custom mode. Move the
cursor to the channel you want to set failsafe on, and
press Encoder.
Step 7: Range
Range refers to
Horus X10 Express/Horus X10S Express range check mode. A pre-flight range check should be
done before each flying session. Move the cursor to “STATE”, scroll the Encoder to select “RANGE” mode and
press Encoder. In range check mode, the effective distance will be decreased to 1/30. Press the Encoder again, turn
to normal state.
