Safety Information

Many remote-control models are equipped with powerful motors and sharp propellers. When using or maintaining models, proceed with caution. When performing assembly or maintenance, make sure to disconnect the power to the model and remove the propellers.

Do not operate the T8 remote-control system under the following conditions:

• In severe weather or strong wind conditions, such as rain, hail, snow, storms or highly electromagnetic environments.

• In any situation where visibility is limited.

• In areas where people, property, high-voltage power lines, public roads, vehicles or animals may be present.

• If you feel tired or unwell, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

• If the remote control or model seems to be damaged or not working properly.

• In areas with high 2.4GHz interference or where 2.4GHz radio is prohibited.

• When the battery voltage is too low.

• In areas where local regulations prohibit the use of aviation models.

Charging Instructions

The T8 has a built in 1000mah 3.7v Battery. The built in USB-C charger will charge your batteries by connecting the supplied USB-C cable to any suitable USB power outlet. We suggest using a regular 2amp 5v USB power adapter.

Charge status and battery Level: The 5 LEDS below the neck strap loop indicate the charging status. When the LEDs light up from left to right the T8 is charging. Each of the 5 LEDs indicates 20% of the battery capacity. 5 LEDs shows 100% charge, 4 LEDs 80%, 3 LEDs 60%, 2 LEDs 40%, 1 LED 20%. When the radios power is low and the T8 requires charging all 5 battery status LEDs will flash at the same time. Please recharge the batter before using the radio any further

Using your T8

Press and hold the Power button until you feel a vibration feedback. The radio is now on. If the throttle or switches are not in the correct position the Power LED will be RED. Please reset the switches to the correct position and move the throttle to the lowest point. The Power LED will turn GREEN to indicate the radio is now ready to use. To Turn off your T8 press and hold the power button until you feel a vibration feedback and the radio will turn off. If the LED is RED when turning off disconnect power to your model first.

Quick Guide to Understanding the Power Button LED colors.

GREEN: Radio is starting up or turned on and working normally. RED on start: A switch(s) or the throttle must be moved to default position. RED on shut down: The model or receiver is still connected, disconnect power to the model to complete the shut down cycle of the radio.

The T8 has the follow settings by default and is ready to setup with the firmware of your flight controller or receiver up to 8 channels. The default channel order is AETR, please set accordingly in your flight controller software.

Binding your T8

The T8 Uses a combination of Stick inputs and then pressing the Bind button to bind to one of the following protocols: D8 / D16 v1 FCC / D16 v1 LBT / D16 v2 FCC / D16 v2 LBT

Hold the LEFT gimbal Stick in the positions shown below then press the bind button for more than 1 second to bind the required Protocol. The Power button will blink blue to indicate binding is in progress.

Once a model or receiver is bound you can change between various models using the Stick positions below and pressing the bind button for more than 1 second. The Power button will blink blue to indicate the protocol is changing. There is no need to put the model or receiver in bind mode again if it was successfully bound previously.

Stick Center – D8 Mode

Stick Top Left – D16 V1 FCC mode

Stick Top Right – D16 V1 LBT mode

Stick Bottom Left – D16 V2 FCC mode

Stick Bottom Right – D16 V2 LBT mode

Various different receivers and models will have different methods to place the model or receiver in to bind mode. Please follow the instructions from the model or receiver manufacturers user manual to initial the bind process.

A Note on input sensitivity: If your craft feels too sensitive to input you may need to set up EXPO. EXPO is a function to soften the stick feeling in the center of the stick movements. This can help settle down a drone that is very sensitive to stick movements. This is handled in the flight-controller firmware and varies depending on the flight controller you are using and may be called EXPO or RC EXPO. Please refer to the setup guide of your specific drone or flight controller to set EXPO to your desired setting on the models flight control system.

协议选择及对频指南

T8遥控器使用摇杆位置选择协议，遥控器背后的按钮进行对频。将左侧的摇杆保持在下面所示的位置，然后按下对频按钮1秒钟以上，以绑定所需的协议。电源按钮将闪烁蓝色，表示正在进行对频。绑定模型或接收器后，您可以使用下面的“摇杆”位置并按住“对频”按钮1秒钟以上，在各种模型之间进行切换。电源按钮将闪烁蓝色，表明协议正在更改。如果先前已成功对频模型或接收机，则无需再次将接收机置于对频模式。

各种不同的接收机和模型将具有不同的方法来将模型或接收器置于对频模式。请按照模型或接收机造商提供的用户手册，对模型或接收机进行初始化对频过程。

关于输入灵敏度的注意事项：

如果您的操作对输入过于敏感，则可能需要设置EXPO。 EXPO是缓解摇杆中心处一定范围的细腻感觉的功能。这可以帮助操控非常敏感的模型飞机。这是在模型飞机的飞控系统中设置并处理的，并且根据所使用的飞控而有所不同，可能称为EXPO或RC EXPO。请参阅特定无人机飞控的设置指南，以设置符合您操控手感的EXPO。
