ii. Press the “Bind” button on the back of the Launch controller to enter binding
status. The LED ring will be red and flash quickly.
iii. The LED ring will change to solid blue 5 seconds later when the Launch
controller exits binding status. If not bind successfully, repeat the process
above.
4. Switching Protocol:
Note: Switching internal protocol is only available for the Frsky version Launch
controller. Express LRS version can only switch to the external TX module.
The Frsky version could suppo 4 different internal protocols, including Frsky D16
FCC, Frsky D16 LBT, Frsky D8, and Futaba S-FHSS, it also supports. The protocol is
indicated by the flashing times of the LED when power is on, before the buzzer
alarms.

installation. Then, the Launch controller works as a joystick human interface
device (AKA HID device) normally.

automatically or is installed incorrectly. DO NOT power on the Launch controller
first and connect it to the PC. The USB port is invalid in this situation.

hit by a physical). Users need to re-calibrate joysticks based on the following steps;
• After powering on, press the “SETUP” button on the back of the remote-control
Launch controller, it hears two "Bee Bee" sounds, and a red LED flashes quickly
(two flashes each time), which means remote control Launch controller entered
calibration mode.
• Move throttle joystick and direction joystick to the middle position, press the
“SETUP” button again, wait until the buzzer beep three "Bee Bee Bee" sounds,
red LED light flashes quickly (two ashes each time), which indicates joystick data
has been acquired and enter into the boundary value calibration mode.
• Slowly rotate the throttle and direction joystick twice around the boundary of
the joysticks (counter-clockwise /clockwise), then press the SETUP button again,
it hears a long ''Bee'' sound for about 3 seconds. And the red LED light stops.

We have set up a special set of “BAND L” that you can turn on in the menu if you
want for experimental purposes.
CH1:5362 CH2:5399 CH3:5436 CH4:5473 CH5:5510 CH6:5474 CH7:5584 CH8:5621
To performs the functions, like;
• To change the Band, the “CH+” button is used.
• To change the channel, the “CH-” button is used.
• To go through the different RX options for finding the desired wireless video
channel for view.
i. A short press on the “CH+/CH-” buttons will cycle through the 8 channels of the
current band that you are on. As you cycle through the channels, the OSD will
show the new channel. (Has removed the type of video signal)
Additionally, the LED on top of the Scout will light up with a color that corresponds
to your current channel if you are using Race Band.
This allows for a very quick indicator that can be used when trying to get your
Launch controller and headset on the same channel.
Channel: The current channel the headset is on (both the number and the actual
radio frequency).
Battery: The current battery life is shown by the icon and the percentage e.g. a %.
2. Changing Bands and RX Channels:

ii. A long press on the Band button will cycle through the different RX bands in
the following default order;
a. Fat Shark to Race Band

c. Band E to Band B
d. Band B to Band A and then back to Fat Shark Band.
Note: The selectable bands can be adjusted by the user in the Options Menu.
iii. A long press on the “Channel” button will enter the “RF MAX” scan mode and
the scout will automatically search for the strongest signal in the current band.
The OSD will display RF MAX Scan in the center of the screen and the Scout will
change to the channel with the highest RSSI value. This allows you to quickly
tune into a Launch controller after you turn it on even if you don’t know what
channel it is broadcasting on.
3. Adjusting the Brightness and Contrast:
During the flight, the brightness and contrast of the displayed image can be
