Charging Instructions
The T8 Pro 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.
Model selection and protocol selection
T8 PRO comes with a Multi-Module powered CC2500 RF chip, which is
compatible with many different protocols. To view the latest list of all compatible
protocols, please visit https://www.multi-module.org/. Please note that new
protocols will be continuously updated and added to the latest firmware. Some
new protocols may require firmware upgrades.
Please long press the MDL button to enter the model
settings, select MULTI in the SETUP page, and select
the protocol to be used in the sub-options. The system
will automatically turn on the corresponding RF module
according to the RF protocol you selected, and turn off
the other three RF modules at the same time. The
system will only turn on one radio frequency module at
the same time to ensure that there is no redundant
radio signal interference.
• Bind button is used to start the linking process.
• The Range button can reduce the power to 1/30 to facilitate testing the
remote-control distance.
