FrSky 2.4GHz ACCST Taranis X-Lite Manual
Thank you for purchasing the FrSky 2.4GHz ACCST X-Lite digital telemetry radio system. As a compact and convenient
Due to unforeseen changes in production, the information contained in this manual is subject to change without
notice.
Overview
Ensure that the battery polarity is correct when connecting batteries into the battery compartment,
otherwise X-Lite might not be powered on.
X-Lite has 4 centered sticks and will distinguish between the throttle and other sticks.
You can change the stick mode and feeling according to your requirement.
Model Setup for X-Lite internal RF Module
Step 1: Set the Mode for X-Lite Internal RF
Refer to the table below and set the X-Lite to the mode corresponding to your receiver (D8, D16 or LR12).
Older V8 series receivers are not supported by the internal module of X-Lite but can be used with an external
DJT module in V8 mode.
X-Lite EU version only has D16-EU and LR12 mode.
Step 2: Set the Channel Range
The internal RF module of X-Lite supports up to 47 channels. The channel range is configurable, and needs double
check before use.
Step 3: Set the Receiver Number
When you create a new model, the system will assign you a receiver number automatically, but this can be easily
changed. The range of the receiver number is 00-47, with the default number being 01 (use 00 is not recommended).
Once the receiver is set to the desired number and is bound to the X-Lite, the bind procedure will not need to be
repeated unless the receiver number is changed, In this case, either set the receiver number to the previous one
or repeat the bind procedure.
Step 4: Bind
Bind refers to X-Lite binding mode. Move the cursor to “Bind”
, press ENTER button, the cursor will flash and the
speaker will beep to remind you that the RF module has entered the bind mode. Then put your receiver into binding
mode and finish the bind procedure (refer to the receiver’s manual for details).Press
Enter or EXIT to exit.
Step 5: Set Failsafe mode
There are 4 failsafe modes: No Pulse, Hold, Custom and receiver (this mode only used above opentx-v2.0.0
firmware).
ƔNo 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.
ƔHold: 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.
ƔCustom: pre-set to required positions on lost signal. Move the cursor to
“Set” and press ENTER, you will see
FAILSAFE SETTING screen below. Move the cursor to the channel you want to set failsafe on, and press
ENTER.
When moving the corresponding sticks or switches, you will see the channel bar moving. Move the channel bar to the
place you want for failsafe and long press
ENTER to finish the setting. Wait 9 seconds before the failsafe takes effect.
Ɣ5HFHLYHU set the failsafe on the receiver (see receiver instructions) in D16 or LR12 mode, select it in the menu and
wait 9 seconds for the failsafe to take effect.
Notice:
The above instructions do not apply to D-series receivers, which require the internal RF module of X-Lite to be in D8
mode. For these receivers, failsafe must be set on the receiver side (see receiver instructions)

Step 6: Range
Range refers to X-Lite range check mode. A pre-flight range check should be done before each flying session.
Move the cursor to
“Range” and press ENTER. In range check mode, the effective distance will be decreased
to 1/30. Press
Enter or EXIT to exit.

Please connect a battery in the battery compartment before use (18500 Li-ion batteries are not included).
The voltage range should be DC 6.0~8.4V.
Be careful not to drop the battery.
Do not remove the battery from the X-Lite transmitter while the voltage warning is blinking as this could cause
internal settings and memories to be destroyed.
Do not use the transmitter if a “Backup Error” warning occurs.

Model Setup for X-Lite external RF Module
Toensure the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following precautions.
Have regular maintenance performed.
Although your X-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 Centre annually during
during your non-flying-season for a complete che ck-up and service.
The MicroSD card (not provided with X-Lite) can store various files, such as model data, music, sound files,
pictures and text. The card is locked when it is pushed in all the way in. To remove the card, push in on the
card again, it will pop out allowing you to remove it.
Read data from a PC
Music and image files edited by a PC can be transferred onto the MicroSD card and used on your X-Lite
transmitter. Equipment for reading and writing MicroSD cards is available at most electronics stores.
Stored data
The life of the MicroSD card is limited due to the use of Flash memory. If you have a problem saving or reading
data after a long period of use you may need to purchase a new MicroSD card.
ƔWe are not responsible for, and cannot compensate for any failure to the data stored in the memory card for
any reason. Be sure to keep a backup of your models and data in your MicroSD card.
ƔX-Lite transmitters and MicroSD cards use non-volatile memory devices so that the data stored is retained,
even without a backup battery. Nevertheless, it is good practice to back up the data in the transmitter to the
MicroSD card.
ƔThe clock for the transmitter does depends on the internal battery, which may need to be replaced occasionally.
FrSky is continuously adding features and improvements to our radio systems. Updating (via USB Port or the
MicroSD card) is easy and free. To get the most from your new transmitter, please check the download section of
the FrSky website www.frsky-rc.com for the latest update firmware and guide for adjusting your sticks.
ƔThe currently pre-installed firmware of X-Lite is modified from OpenTX firmware, improved and well tested by
FrSky and the developing union.
ƔMore in formation about OpenTX can be found on: http://openrcforums.com.
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 uses a separate receiver battery, make sure it is fully charged before
each flying session.
