First Boot

Press and hold the power button. Before entering the main interface, the system will check the throttle stick position, switches, and other startup conditions. If startup conditions are not met, a corresponding error message will appear. The user must clear it or press any key to skip.

EEPROM Warning: Invalid EEPROM data. Press any key to allow the radio to automatically format and save new remote control data.

Switch Warning: This warning indicates that a switch on the transmitter is not in the default position. (The default setting is that all switches are in the upper position).

Throttle Warning: This warning indicates that the throttle stick is not in the lowest position when the radio is powered on. You can set the throttle stick position in the MODEL SETUP menu.

Failsafe Not Set Warning: This warning indicates that failsafe has not been configured on the transmitter.

Alarm Warning: A similar warning will appear if the sound mode on the remote control settings page is set to mute.

SD Card Warning: This warning appears if the version of the SD card files being used does not match the firmware version. (The contents of the SD card must also be updated when updating the firmware.)

RSSI Warning: This warning indicates that failsafe signals are triggered.

Main screen display: The default screen is shown below, and the user can press the (PAGE) key to display different interfaces.

Model Setup and Selection

In the main interface, press the SYS button to enter the model selection menu. The model selection menu allows the user to select the active model and also to create, copy, move, or delete a model. When selecting “Create Model,” the new model wizard will launch (the script required for the wizard is located on the SD card). The user will perform basic control setup; if you decide not to use it, simply press the RTN key to manually configure the model.

To create a model, press and hold the ENT key to open the menu, select “Create Model,” and press ENT.

If airplane, delta, and multirotor options are available, the wizard will ask configuration questions and perform basic setup for users. The final step of the wizard confirms channel assignment for the model.

If the user prefers manual setup, press RTN to exit the wizard. Use the menu wheel to select the desired model action, press and hold the ENT key, and choose Model Select to switch it.

Binding and Frequency Tuning

Briefly press the SYS button, then use the scroll wheel to select 2/13.

Internal RF Module:

Mode: The internal RF transmission mode must be compatible with the receiver. Otherwise, binding will fail.

- OFF: Disable the internal RF module.

Type: Select the protocol type.

Subtype: Select the protocol subtype.

Status: Displays the status of the multiprotocol module. (Usually shows the firmware version of the multiprotocol module.)

Ch.Range: Configure the channel range. (In D16 mode, data is transmitted every 9 ms, 8 channels at a time. 16 channels take 18 ms, so removing unnecessary channels can reduce latency.)

Receiver: This usually refers to the receiver model. It can be changed manually. If a model is moved or copied, it will not be changed. If manual setup or copy/move actions cause a receiver with the same number to appear in two or more models, a warning popup will appear. The user decides whether to modify it.

Freqtune: Frequency adjustment. Some protocols require tuning for optimal performance. In some cases, protocol binding requires adjustment. Frequency tuning is specific to each MULTI-Module and depends on very small RF component variations. Frequency tuning is always recommended, especially when:

1. Binding to the receiver is difficult, or the connection is weak or intermittent
2. The control range is very short
3. Telemetry data is not received (only for receivers supporting telemetry).

Performing the frequency tuning procedure ensures the radio and receiver have the strongest possible link. If you change the frequency tuning value, it is best to re-bind the receiver(s).

The default Freqtune value is “0.” If the receiver does not bind, you can change the value to +30 or -30 and try again. If binding still fails, continue testing with higher and lower values in ±30 steps until successful. Once the receiver is bound, you can proceed with fine-tuning. After successful binding, keep the receiver about 2 meters away from the transmitter and do not move either device.

Return to the RF Freq tuning option. Decrease the value until the radio loses connection with the receiver. Record this value (TUNE_MIN). Increase the value until the connection is restored, then continue increasing until the radio again loses connection with the receiver.

Record this value (TUNE_MAX). Calculate the midpoint between the two values (TUNE_MIN + TUNE_MAX) / 2 = TUNE_MEDIAN. Set the RF frequency to tune precisely to this median value.

Example:

If the connection is lost at 60 and -60, then the Freqtune value is (-60+60)/2 = 0
If the connection is lost at 20 and -80, then the Freqtune value is (-80+20)/2 = -30

Model Setup

Model setup covers all necessary preliminary configurations.

The model setup page includes the following functions:

1. Defines the model name
2. Up to 3 fully programmable timers that can count up or down
3. Extended limits allow setting servo travel limits up to 125%
4. Extended trims allow trims to cover the entire stick range instead of just ±25%
5. Trim step defines the precision of trim clicks
6. Throttle reverse: ensures correct operation of timers and throttle-based functions for users who prefer full throttle with stick down
7. Throttle source defines what triggers the THx timer functions
8. Throttle trim: internal combustion engine mode where trim affects only the idle range without touching full throttle point
9. Throttle warning: alerts if the throttle stick is not at idle when the radio is powered on or when a model is loaded
10. Pre-flight checks: display checklist, throttle state, switch positions, potentiometer positions
11. Center beep: emits a sound when selected controls pass the center point
12. Internal RF module setup
13. External RF module setup
14. Trainer mode setup

Press the SYS button and use the scroll wheel to select the model you want to configure (after selection, an asterisk * will appear before the model name).

Then press the PAGE key to go to the model setup page.

Outputs (center adjustment, servo reverse setup)

Set Default Stick Mode

The T-Pro is factory set to MODE2 (left throttle). The user can change the mode manually by reversing the gimbals, then pressing and holding the “SYS” key to enter the “RADIO SETUP” page, scrolling down to “Mode,” and selecting the appropriate mode.

Stick Calibration

(The gimbals are factory calibrated. Recalibration is not necessary unless required):

Press and hold the SYS button, go to the HARDWARE page. Navigate to the “Sticks [Calibration]” page to begin calibrating the gimbals and wheel. Do not apply excessive force during calibration to avoid affecting accuracy. Move gently during the calibration process.

• Press ENT to start calibration.

• Place all gimbals, knobs, and side sliders in the center position, then press the ENT key.

• Move all gimbals, knobs, and side sliders to their maximum and minimum positions, then press ENT to complete the calibration.

Battery and Charging

Please use two 18650 batteries of the same brand and model (with identical internal resistance) to power the T-PRO. Ensure that the anode and cathode are not reversed when installing the batteries. The T-Pro has a built-in USB charging function. You can connect the radio to USB for battery charging.

Charging Indicator:

Green light flashing – when the radio is powered on without batteries;
Green light steady – when the battery is charging;
Green light off – when charging is complete.

(!) Warning: When installing the battery into the T-PRO for the first time, please maintain a stable battery voltage to reduce the load on the voltage balancing circuit.

Firmware Update

There are two ways to update OpenTX firmware:
   — Update firmware using OpenTX Companion (see T-Pro manual for details).
   — Update firmware via SD card (if the version is skipped, use the first method for updating).

If your device is not running Windows, use the second method. This is the BOOTLOADER function developed by the OpenTX team, effective and simple. The update requires two steps. First, copy the firmware downloaded from the OpenTX website into the “FIRMWARE” folder on the SD card. Second, locate the firmware file you just copied to the SD card of the transmitter, press and hold the ENT key to update the bootloader (as shown below).

After loading, select the Write Firmware option and choose the appropriate firmware to update.

Press the buttons on the panel and power on the controller.

Updating JP4IN1 Module Firmware via Radio

The module firmware version must be newer than version 1.2.1.85 to use the transmitter for module firmware updates. Otherwise, you must use USB and TTL hardware to connect the module for updating. Firmware download link: https://downloads.multimodule.org

First copy the module firmware into the controller’s “FIRMWARE” folder (the same folder used for radio firmware updates), then disconnect the radio from the computer, open the “FIRMWARE” folder on the SD card, select the copied firmware, and press and hold the ENT key (as shown below).

• Flash Int.Multi: To update the Internal RF module firmware
• Flash Ext.Multi: To update the External RF module firmware.
