Introduction
▋Greetings
Thank you for choosing to purchase this JR product.
This is a highly developed product with outstanding
functionality and ergonomics that concentrates the
essence of the technology built up by this company
through many decades of experience. In order to make
full use of the features of this radio and to safely enjoy
your RC activities, please carefully read this operation
manual.
Our whole company hopes that you will enjoy using
this product for many years.
▋Features
This is a multi-function 6-channel transmitter
that is capable of supporting many aircraft. It has
functionality normally only seen in more expensive
transmitters.
⿟ JR’s newly developed DMSS system maintains high
speed servo response while allowing simultaneous
use of telemetry functions.
⿟ The high-speed telemetry function allows
information from the aircraft (that was previously
unknown to the user) to be monitored on the
transmitter. In addition, alarms with unique sounds
alert the user to the situation on the aircraft without
even looking at the screen.
⿟ The telemetry sensor connection employs a bus
system that does not require a relay box, allowing
sensor extensions and additions to be easily carried
out. It is acceptable to merely connect the necessary
sensors in parallel.
⿟ For the convenience of entry level users, alkaline dry
cell batteries should be used with this transmitter.
Be sure to only use high quality alkaline batteries,
Never use older manganese dioxide batteries. An
optional Ni-MH battery pack is available for those
wishing to use rechargeable batteries.
⿟ With our automatic safety system, the receiver
will not operate if the correct model has not been
selected in the transmitter before ight.
⿟ The transmitter features a large LCD display and
input keys that are intuitive and easy to use.
⿟ A Trim Input function can allocate trim levers to
change numerical values of various functions (such
as program mix values) during ight.
⿟ A new function synchronizes the operation of servos
on multiple ight control surfaces in real time. This
completely eliminates the time lag with fast control
inputs.
⿟ A micro SD card slot enables saving aircraft model
data and updating of transmitter software to be
easily carried out, without connecting the transmitter
to a PC.
⿟ When inputting numerical values, simultaneously
pressing the function key allows the value to be
changed at a ten-times faster speed.
⿟ The 20-aircraft model memory can be utilized for
storing helicopter, airplane, and glider models.
⿟ A Trainer function is incorporated, which also allows
training to be carried out individually for each
channel.
⿟ The throttle curves, pitch curves, and curve mixing
use a multiple point adjusting method, and you can
also activate an optional exponential curve function
that further smoothes the curves.
⿟ Three systems of multi-function program mixing are
available.
⿟ A Touch Select function is incorporated, which
enables automatic switch selection for programmed
functions. This selection is easily carried out.
⿟ A ‘My List’ screen is provided that enables display
and simple calling up of frequently used functions
that the user has selected.
⿟ Switch arrangement stickers are included for
each transmitter model type so users can choose
switch labeling that they require for airplanes and
helicopters.

▋▋About▋the▋Proportional▋System
This company cannot be responsible for any accident
or failure that may occur from any modication of this
product, use of non-genuine parts, natural disaster, or
nonobservance of the precautions described in this
manual.
Further, for damages caused by an accident or failure,
please understand that items (excepting this product
and this Company’s genuine parts) such as airplanes,
competitor’s products, etc will not be covered under
the warranty.
The use of radio waves required by this product is
dened in the Radio Law of Japan.
▋▋Basic▋Precautions▋for▋Safe▋Use▋of▋
the▋2.4GHz▋System
The 2.4GHz band is not exclusively for use with RC
airplanes. This frequency band is shared with the
ISM (industry, science, and medical care) band which
is widely used for short-distance transmission such
as microwave ovens, wireless LAN, digital cordless
phones, audio games, cellphone Bluetooth, and VICS.
Therefore, the steering response of the 2.4GHz
system may be degraded in urban areas.
Further, as it is also used for ham and local area
radio communications for mobile identification,
please pay attention to possible influences from
these. In the event of any adverse radio wave
interference on an existing wireless station,
immediately stop emitting radio waves and take
interference avoidance measures.
⿟ At a race track or airfield, minimize use of devices
that can a󱐯ect the transmitter/receiver and be sure
to confirm safety before operation. Also, always
follow instructions given by the facility sta󱐯.
⿟ If an aircraft is allowed to y out of sight behind a
building, a pylon, trees, etc. so that the radio-waves
are blocked, the control response may drop, even
resulting in an “out-of-control” situation. Always let
the aircraft fly within an area that can be visually
observed.

▋Inserting▋and▋Removing▋the▋Micro▋SD▋Card
Compatible Micro SD Cards are 16GB or less in size and must be formatted in FAT format.
Inserting and removing Micro SD cards should be carried out after opening the battery cover, with the transmitter
switched o󱐯. The Micro SD card slot is located below the battery. Note that not all Micro SD cards are compatible
with this transmitter.
▋▋Inserting▋method
Switch off the transmitter, and then slowly insert the Micro SD card
into the slot below the battery until you feel a “click”. Note the correct
orientation of the card.
▋▋Removing▋The▋Card
Lightly press in the middle of the Micro SD card until it clicks - the card
will then pop out slightly when you remove your nger ‒ now carefully
pull the card out the rest of the way.

▋Inserting▋and▋Removing▋the▋Transmitter▋Battery
1) While pressing the embossed mark on the rear surface of the battery lid, slide the lid in the direction of the
arrow, and remove.
2) Carefully insert the dry cell battery holder’s battery connector into the transmitter battery connection.
3) Fit the dry cell battery holder into the battery box, and mount the battery cover, taking care not to pinch the lead
wires.
▋Handling▋of▋the▋Rechargeable▋Ni-MH▋batteries▋
used▋for▋the▋Transmitter▋or▋Receiver
⿟ Because nickel metal hydride batteries have a high self-discharge rate, battery discharge will gradually take place
even when the battery is not being used.
⿟ For new batteries and batteries that have not been used for a long time, be certain to fully charge before use.
In addition, if the battery is repeatedly charged having not been fully discharged, the battery chemistry
characteristics may mean that the discharge capacity becomes temporarily reduced, because of a ‘memory e󱐯ect’.
It is therefore recommended you occasionally fully discharge the battery and then recharge it before use.
⿟ Charging at very high and low temperatures is dangerous.
⿟ Charging nickel metal hydride batteries at high temperatures will cause a noticeable drop in charge capacity.
Therefore, do not charge in a hot environment, for example inside a car. Hydrogen gas may be generated during
charge and discharge - avoid charging close to any open ame.
▋▋Throttle▋stroke▋travel▋adjustment
⿟ By adding the Throttle stroke adjustment plate to the
gimbals, the throttle stroke is limited by approximately 5
degrees.
⿟ Be sure to install or remove the plate with reference to the
drawing.
⿟ When adding this "limiter plate" it is essential to recalibrate
the throttle stick range. Be sure to follow this procedure
which is explained on Page 54 "Transmitter Setting【TX
SETTING】" in the system list for further details of
calibration.

※ Never use Manganese Dioxide Batteries
- use only high quality Alkaline batteries.
Be sure to check the battery voltage.
Do not mixnew and old batteries. The
battery alert shall trigger when the
voltage drops down to 4.2V - be sure to
change the battery with four brand new
alkaline dry cell batteries.
※ Never use the included battery holder
with rechargeable batteries. Insufficient
terminal contact may result in damage to
the battery or the transmitter.
※ Never drop the battery holder. Resulting
poor contact may result in damage to the
battery or the transmitter.

② Remove the screws in the eight (8) locations on
the rear case.
③ Adjust the springs to the desired spring tension.
By carefully adjusting each of the screws, you
can achieve a range of spring tensions.
④ Close the rear cover, and tighten the screws.
Take care of interlocking of the levers, etc.
If you prefer a ratchet on the throttle, replace
the spring plate as shown in the drawing on the

▋Receiver▋Connections
Receiver Connections to the servos and the power supply JR labels the channels on the receiver with names rather
than numbers.
From this point onward in the manual, the receiver channels will be described using their names.
⿟ Since the receiver is susceptible to vibration, shock, and water damage, anti-vibration and waterproofing
measures should be implemented.
⿟ If the connectors become detached while ying, there will be a risk of uncontrolled operation. Please securely
insert all of the connectors as far as they will go.
⿟ In the situation where extension leads are used during installation rubber sponge should be wrapped round the
connectors to x them. Be absolutely sure not to leave the connectors hanging unsupported.
